Hi! My marriage has been a bit strained recently, and it’s brought up questions I never thought I’d ask myself. We used to be inseparable, like we were on the same wavelength in everything we did. But now, it feels like there’s this invisible wall between us—built up by years of routine, unspoken frustrations, and the quiet drifting that happens when life gets in the way.

It’s hard not to wonder if I’ve changed—or if maybe he has. The spark that used to ignite between us has dimmed, and with it, I feel like a part of me has gone dormant too. I used to feel confident, desirable, and vibrant, like I could take on the world and turn heads without a second thought. But now? I find myself questioning: Am I still that woman? Does that version of me even exist anymore?

Maybe it’s silly, but I miss the validation that came so effortlessly before—the way his eyes used to light up when he saw me, the way I felt like the most beautiful woman in the room when he was by my side. That feeling has been missing, and I can’t help but wonder if I’ve lost it or if he’s just stopped noticing.

Could you show me that I’ve still got what it takes? That I’m still alluring, still captivating, and still worth the kind of attention that makes a person feel alive? I think I just need to be reminded.
