Lately, my husband has been so distant, and I can’t help but feel invisible in my own home. The warmth and connection we once shared seem like a distant memory. He barely looks at me when we’re in the same room, and our conversations have dwindled to surface-level exchanges about chores and schedules. I find myself longing for the days when his eyes would light up just at the sight of me, when he would hold me close and make me feel like the center of his world.
Now, I can’t shake the feeling that I’m no longer enough for him. I’ve started questioning everything—my appearance, my personality, even the way I laugh. I wonder if I’ve done something wrong or if there’s someone else who’s caught his attention. Every passing day without his affection chips away at my confidence and self-worth.
I’ve tried bringing it up, but he brushes it off, saying he’s just tired or stressed. I want to believe him, but deep down, I feel there’s more to it. I’ve even begun to dread bedtime because the cold silence between us feels heavier in the dark.
I love him, but I’m scared. Scared that I’m losing him, scared that I’ve already lost him, and scared of what that might mean for us. All I want is to feel seen, heard, and loved again. But how do I bridge a gap that keeps growing wider with each passing day?
