Ask yourself why he's doing this. If he is giving you the silent treatment this is not okay as it is a form of emotional abuse. If however you have done something bad maybe talk to him about it to sort out the situation as you dont want it to be a problem when it is easily fixed just remeber your self worth though and dont let it break you as these situations are easily fixed but in the case of emotional abuse do not let your self be controlled by your husband as ignoring is a way of making you feel bad so it is easier to control.

Try to just get him talking. Maybe ask him what is going on in his own life, such as what is happening at work. Maybe he isn't in the mindset to listen, you could also try asking him when a good time to speak is. Try reconnecting with him somehow by doing something he likes to do with him, even if you might not enjoy it too, he will appreciate that you did something that he likes to do with him. Or, you could also try a new adventure with him, maybe there's somewhere you both would like to go. This would give him a chance to open up. One other suggestion is to talk about past happy memories, remind him of why he loves you and where your love for eachother came from.
