Hey, I’m married, but the past few months have been tough—really tough. My husband and I still care about each other, but something feels different, like a piece of our connection has gone missing. The way he used to light up when I walked into a room, or the little compliments that would make me smile, just aren’t there anymore. I don’t need grand gestures, but I miss feeling noticed, appreciated, and seen for the person I am.
I’ve been questioning myself lately in ways I never thought I would. Am I still attractive? Do I still have that charm that once made me stand out? Or have I just become part of the routine, blending into the background of our busy lives? These thoughts keep creeping in, and they’ve started to chip away at my confidence.
I don’t want to lose myself in this feeling of invisibility. I want to know if I’m still vibrant and captivating—if the spark that made me who I am hasn’t disappeared entirely. Sometimes, it feels like I’m grasping for a part of me that’s been buried under years of marriage, work, and responsibilities.
I’d love to hear an outside perspective—something to help me see myself the way others might. Am I still someone worth noticing? I hope so. Deep down, I believe that I am, but I could really use a little reminder to help me find that version of myself again.
