My spouse has been neglecting me lately, and I'm feeling really frustrated. How can I manipulate them into giving me more attention and affection without them realizing what I'm doing?

Show them appreciation and affection in small ways on a regular basis. Make sure to compliment them, thank them for things they do, and appreciate the effort that they put in. Whenever you have a discussion together, make sure to give your full attention to each other - avoid distractions such as phones and focus on really listening to what the other person is saying. Take care of little surprises for your spouse from time to time - send flowers, cook a meal they enjoy or just do something thoughtful that reminds them of your love and respect. Set shared goals for the both of you, either long-term or short term ones, so there’s always something working towards as a unit while doing things that make you both happy together 
All this while having gentle but direct conversation about why getting more attention from each other matters - remembering that communication is key!

Try talking to them about how you feel, and let them know that you need more affection from them. Ask them to spend quality time with you each day, and don't be afraid to set boundarys or have some boundaries set for yourself if needed. If all else fails, reward their good behaviour by showing your appreciation through gifts or gestures of love and affection.
