I’m feeling disconnected from my husband lately, and it’s been hard not to take it personally. It feels like we’ve drifted into this space where we’re just coexisting, going through the motions of daily life without really connecting. I catch myself wondering if I’ve done something wrong, if I’ve somehow failed to keep his attention or his affection. But I know relationships are never that simple, and what I really want is to understand what’s going on and figure out how to rebuild the closeness we once had.

There are moments when I sit across from him at the dinner table, hoping for conversation, but it never quite comes. His mind seems elsewhere, and his responses are brief, like he’s checked out emotionally. It hurts, but I’ve been hesitant to bring it up, afraid of what he might say—or worse, what he might not. I don’t want to accuse him or make things worse, but I also can’t keep pretending that everything feels fine when it doesn’t.

Sometimes, I replay memories of when we were inseparable—when laughter and long talks were a daily part of our lives. I miss those moments, and I miss the version of us that felt unbreakable. I know relationships evolve and face challenges, but this silence, this distance, feels like a wall I don’t know how to climb.

I want to believe we can find our way back to each other, but I just don’t know where to start. Should I speak up? Should I wait for him to notice? All I know is that I want to feel seen, valued, and loved again—and I’m willing to try, even if it feels uncertain. Because deep down, I know the love we once shared is worth fighting for.
