Hi there. Lately, I’ve been wrestling with something that’s hard to put into words. My marriage, once full of warmth and connection, seems to have drifted into a space that feels cold and distant. It’s not like there’s been a huge fight or anything dramatic, but the little things that once made me feel special and loved seem to have disappeared.

There was a time when my partner would notice me in a way that made my heart skip. A compliment on how I looked, a lingering touch, or even just the way he’d smile at me from across the room. Those small gestures used to be constant reminders that I was seen, appreciated, and yes, desired. Now, it feels like those moments have faded into the background, replaced by the routines of everyday life.

The truth is, I’ve started to feel invisible. I walk into a room, and I’m not sure if anyone notices anymore—not even him. I wonder if it’s something I’ve done, or maybe it’s just the natural progression of a long-term relationship. But the doubt has crept in, and with it, a question I can’t shake: Am I still desirable?

I catch myself looking in the mirror, searching for the person I used to be. The confident, vibrant version of me who felt attractive and unstoppable. I don’t want to feel like I’m disappearing into the shadows of my own life. Deep down, I know I’m still that woman, but sometimes it’s hard to believe it without a reminder.

All I want is to feel seen again. For someone to notice me, to remind me that I’m worthy of attention and admiration. Maybe it’s selfish, or maybe it’s just human, but I miss feeling wanted—and I miss feeling like me.
