I’ve been feeling neglected by my husband these days, and it’s hard not to wonder if I’m truly enough or if I’ve somehow done something to push him away. The change wasn’t sudden; it crept in slowly, like a shadow over our once-bright connection. At first, I told myself it was just life getting in the way—work stress, responsibilities, or the routine of daily life. But now, the silence between us feels like it’s speaking louder than words.
He used to notice the little things about me—a new outfit, a different hairstyle, even my mood. Now, I could walk into the room dressed to the nines, and he might not even look up from his phone or laptop. Conversations feel strained, as if we’re just going through the motions. I’ve tried to break through the wall, asking him how he’s feeling or if something’s wrong, but his response is always the same: “Everything’s fine.”
But everything doesn’t feel fine to me. I miss the way he used to hold me, touch me, and make me feel like I was the most important person in his life. I can’t help but replay moments in my head, wondering if I said something hurtful or stopped being the person he fell in love with.
It’s exhausting, carrying this uncertainty and self-doubt. I want to believe we can find our way back to each other, but I don’t know how to reach him when he seems so far away. All I want is to feel loved again.
