I’m married, but lately, my husband seems so distant. It feels like he’s a world away, even when we’re in the same room. We barely talk anymore, and when we do, it’s about mundane things—bills, errands, or plans that don’t involve us as a couple. The spark we once had feels like a distant memory, and it’s breaking my heart.

I’ve tried to reignite our connection. I plan date nights, wear the outfits I know he used to love, and even go out of my way to compliment him or ask about his day. But the effort feels one-sided. He either brushes it off or barely acknowledges it. I’m left wondering if it’s something I’ve done—or didn’t do. Has he grown bored of me? Am I not enough anymore?

I’ve started doubting myself in ways I never used to. Am I not attractive, interesting, or exciting enough? My confidence has taken a hit, and I find myself avoiding the mirror because I’m afraid of what I might see—or what he no longer sees.

I miss the way we used to laugh together, how he would look at me like I was the only person in the world. Now, I feel like a shadow in his life, present but unnoticed.

I want to talk to him, to tell him how I feel, but I’m afraid of the answer. What if he confirms my deepest fear—that I’m no longer the person he wants?
