Wrestling with Self-Doubt

Lately, it feels like my husband has pulled away, and I’ve started questioning my worth because of it. The warmth that used to exist between us feels like it’s slipping through my fingers, and I can’t help but feel like I’ve become invisible to him. We used to share so much—our dreams, our fears, our everyday stories. But now, I find myself longing for his attention, for a spark that feels like it’s dimming.

I know deep down that I’m enough, that I deserve love and connection. I remind myself that my value isn’t tied to someone else’s actions or affections. But when someone you love seems distant, it’s hard not to wonder what you’ve done wrong. It’s like I’m stuck in a loop of self-doubt, questioning if I’ve lost my charm, my allure, or maybe even my place in his heart. I keep thinking, What has changed? Was it something I said or didn’t say?

I know these feelings aren’t entirely rational, but they’re real, and they feel like a weight on my chest. It’s confusing—part of me wants to reach out to him, to ask him what’s going on, but another part of me is afraid of the vulnerability that comes with that. What if he brushes me off? What if he doesn’t feel the same way or can’t even put into words why things have changed?

I’m torn. I want to open up to him, but I’m scared of feeling dismissed or worse—being told that nothing’s wrong, even when I can feel the distance growing between us. I just want to understand what’s happening, to know if this is a phase or if something deeper has shifted between us. It’s hard to make myself vulnerable when I’m unsure of what kind of response I’ll get, but I also don’t want to let this silence fester. I want to find a way to reconnect, to remind us both of the love that brought us together in the first place.
