I love my husband deeply, but I can’t shake the feeling that I’m slipping away from his heart. It’s not that we’re fighting or unhappy in the traditional sense—it’s more like we’ve drifted into this strange space of simply coexisting. The spark we once had, the warmth that made me feel cherished, has dimmed. The little things that used to show he cared—random compliments, subtle touches, or even a genuine, loving smile—seem to have disappeared.
At first, I tried to ignore it, telling myself that life gets busy, that the excitement of the early days naturally fades. But as the days turned into weeks, then months, I began to feel the weight of his distance. It’s hard not to take it personally. I find myself wondering, Am I still enough for him? Did I do something wrong? I replay moments in my mind, searching for clues, trying to pinpoint where we went off course.
The ache of feeling unseen lingers, and with it comes this creeping self-doubt. I don’t want to lose myself in the process of trying to win back his attention—I know that path will only lead to resentment. But I also don’t want to lose him, or the bond we once shared.
I feel stuck, caught between holding on and letting go. How do I move forward in a marriage where I feel invisible, yet still love him so much? I just want to feel seen, valued, and truly loved again.
