Lately, my husband has been distant, and it’s making me feel invisible. The man who once showered me with affection now barely notices me. Conversations have become surface-level, mostly about mundane chores or schedules. The intimacy we once shared—the laughter, the quiet moments, even the way he used to look at me—feels like a distant memory.

I try to reach out to him, but my efforts often feel one-sided. I ask about his day, but his responses are clipped. I dress up, hoping he’ll notice, but his eyes rarely lift from his phone or the TV. The ache of being unseen is becoming unbearable.

I find myself questioning everything. Am I not enough anymore? Is it my appearance? My personality? Did I do something wrong? I replay our past, searching for clues, trying to pinpoint where things went off course.

The silence between us is louder than words. He’s in the same room, yet it feels like miles separate us. I long for the days when we were partners, when his attention made me feel cherished and secure. Now, I feel like a ghost in my own marriage.

I know relationships go through ups and downs, but this feels different. I feel lost, disconnected, and unsure of what to do next. How do you fight for something when you’re not even sure if the other person still sees you? How do I make him see me again?
