I never thought I’d feel so alone while being married. Lately, my husband has been distant, barely acknowledging me, as if I’ve become just another piece of furniture in our home. At first, I thought he was just stressed—work, life, maybe something weighing on his mind. But as days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, his coldness remained.
I’ve tried everything. I’ve dressed up, planned special dinners, even suggested we take a trip together, just the two of us. But nothing seems to bring back the man who once looked at me like I was the most important person in his world. His responses are short, his affection almost nonexistent. I sit next to him, but he barely notices. I talk, but he hardly listens. When I reach for him at night, he turns away.
And now, I can’t shake this feeling—this growing fear—that maybe I’m not enough for him anymore. Maybe I’ve changed, or maybe he has. I question everything: Am I not attractive enough? Am I boring? Did I do something wrong? My mind keeps searching for answers, but the silence between us gives me none.
I don’t know what to do. I don’t know whether to fight harder for his attention or to accept that something between us has already faded. But the worst part is realizing that I miss the way he used to love me—because now, I wonder if he still does at all.
