Lately, I feel like I’m fading into the background of my own marriage. David and I used to be so close, always attentive to each other’s needs, but now, it feels like we’re just two people living under the same roof. The warmth and affection we once shared seem to have dwindled, leaving me feeling like I’m invisible. I can’t remember the last time he complimented me or even noticed when I made an effort—when I dressed up, cooked his favorite meal, or tried to spark a conversation.

It’s as if we’re coexisting in silence, going through the motions without truly connecting. Sometimes I lie awake, replaying our happiest memories in my mind, wondering what happened to the couple we used to be. I try to talk to him, to ask if he’s feeling the distance too, but he seems closed off, wrapped in his own world. I miss the man who used to make me feel special, who looked at me like I was his everything.

Our marriage feels like it’s hanging by a thread, and I’m struggling to hold on to hope. Part of me wonders if I’m fighting for something that’s already lost. But I love David, and I’m not ready to give up. Maybe, if I can find a way to reach him, we can rekindle what’s been missing. For now, all I can do is try, and hope that he’s willing to meet me halfway.
