Being married yet feeling unloved is a pain I never thought I’d experience. Marriage is supposed to be a partnership, a bond where you feel seen, heard, and cherished. But lately, I’ve felt like I’m standing alone, reaching out to someone who no longer notices me. My husband’s lack of attention makes me question everything—our relationship, myself, and whether I’m still worthy of his love.
I can’t pinpoint when things changed. Was it gradual, slipping away unnoticed until one day I woke up feeling like a stranger in my own marriage? Or did something happen that I missed? He used to make me feel so special, whether it was through a warm hug after a long day, a compliment about how I looked, or even a random text just to say he was thinking of me. Now, those moments are gone, replaced by silence and distance.
I’ve started doubting myself. Am I not attractive enough? Did I stop being interesting? Have I failed to be the wife he needs? These questions haunt me, chipping away at the confidence I once had. I try to brush them off, telling myself it’s just a rough patch, but the emptiness lingers.
It’s heartbreaking to feel so disconnected from someone you love deeply. I want to fix this—I want to talk to him, to find out what’s wrong, but I’m afraid of what I might hear. What if the love I thought was unshakable has already slipped away?
