Hi everyone.

With the election going on, my gf is obsessed with it. Participating online discussion, watching news all the time.

I tried not to talk politics with her because that will only lead to more argument.

However, now she totally ignored me. We don't even talk to each other for days. I just see her busy with the online discussion.

I don't think that is a problem but I would want her to spend some time with me. How should I talk to her in a good way?

If you feel she wants to break up, or if you feel that *you* do, then do it. Nicely, with respect, but Do It. If she's serious about you, she'll miss you (although, her comment about you not being a part of her life is telling you something, yes?...) and make appropriate changes. If she stays away and doesn't contact you, you have your answer clear as daylight.

Thank you for the replies.

We are on the same party but talking about politics, it will mostly lead to argument because we see things differently.

There are things happened yesterday. She waited to talk to me. She said for the past few days, she felt I don't exist in her life at all. Then, she started a fight.

She does know she ignored me. If I am the only want to fix things up, it is meaningless. I prefer a relationship that we both understand each other. Tolerate and prefer talks than fights.

I feel that she want to end the relationship. Politics is just a thing she used as a reason to distance herself.

Ask her if she wants to do somthing this weekend. Set up a date and plan it in advance.

If she refuses then tell her you are sick of being ignored.

If she agrees then wait till you are on the way home and then say you'd like to do something like this sooner because she's been so caught up in politics and you miss her. Keep it calm and sweet and give her puppy eyes.

Good Luck!! xx
