I’m struggling in my marriage because my husband seems so indifferent toward me. It’s a slow, painful shift that I didn’t notice at first, but now it’s impossible to ignore. The little things that used to make me feel loved—his compliments, his hugs, his attention—have vanished. Instead, I’m met with silence or, worse, a kind of detached politeness that makes me feel like just another person in his life, not his wife.

This indifference is eating away at me. I’ve started questioning my worth, wondering if I’m enough for him anymore. Am I not interesting enough, not attractive enough, not good enough? These thoughts linger in my mind, growing louder each time I see him scroll through his phone or retreat into his own world.

I’ve tried talking to him, asking if something’s wrong, but his responses are vague and dismissive. “I’m just tired” or “Everything’s fine” are the answers I get, but they don’t feel real. They feel like a wall between us that I can’t break down. I don’t know if he’s lost interest in me, or if there’s something he’s not telling me.

It hurts to feel like I’m trying so hard to save something while he doesn’t seem to notice. I miss feeling seen, valued, and wanted. I miss being his partner in every sense of the word. Now, I’m left questioning not just our relationship but myself, and I don’t know how to make it better.
