Hey there. I don’t usually open up like this, but I’ve been feeling a weight on my shoulders lately, and I just need to get it out. Things in my marriage have been rocky, and I’ve been struggling with this lingering sense of being unseen and unappreciated. It’s hard to admit because I love my husband, and I know relationships go through ups and downs. But lately, it feels like I’m slipping further and further into the background of his life.

When we first got married, there was this undeniable spark between us. He would light up when I entered the room, compliment me on the smallest things, and make me feel like I was the only woman in the world. But somewhere along the way, that attention faded. Now, it’s as if I’m just… there. I don’t think he means to hurt me, but his lack of acknowledgment stings in ways I can’t explain.

I try to push those feelings aside, telling myself it’s just a phase, that the busyness of life has taken its toll. But deep down, I can’t help but wonder—do I still have that spark? Am I still the woman who could light up a room, or have I lost that part of myself along the way?

I know confidence comes from within, but right now, I could use a little reassurance. I just want to feel like I’m still worth noticing, like I haven’t faded into the background entirely. Do you think I’ve still got it?
