I feel invisible in my marriage these days, like I’ve faded into the background of his life. My husband’s lack of attention has slowly chipped away at my confidence, making me doubt myself and question the strength of our relationship.

It wasn’t always like this. I remember the way he used to light up when I walked into the room, the way he made me feel like the most important person in his world. But now, those moments feel like distant memories. These days, he seems preoccupied, barely noticing the effort I put into connecting with him. Whether it’s dressing up, asking about his day, or simply trying to have a meaningful conversation, it feels like nothing reaches him anymore.

I’ve started wondering what changed. Is it me? Am I no longer the woman he fell in love with? Or is he so consumed by his own thoughts and worries that he doesn’t realize how much his indifference is hurting me? I try not to take it personally, but it’s hard not to when I feel so overlooked.

The silence between us feels heavier than any argument ever could. I want to reach out, to find a way back to the closeness we once shared, but I’m scared he doesn’t feel the same need. The thought of losing us—of becoming just two people coexisting—terrifies me.

I love him, but I can’t keep wondering if he still sees me the way I see him.
