Lately, my husband seems distant and uninterested in me, and it’s making me question my own worth. I don’t know how to handle this.

It wasn’t always this way. There was a time when his eyes would light up at the sight of me, when his touch was warm, reassuring, and full of love. Now, there’s an emptiness between us—an unspoken tension that neither of us seems willing to address.

He comes home from work, greets me out of habit, and disappears into his own world—his phone, the TV, anything but me. Our conversations feel forced, like obligations rather than moments of connection. The affection that once felt effortless now feels like something I have to beg for.

I’ve tried to fix it in quiet ways—dressing up, planning romantic evenings, asking him if something is wrong. His answers are always the same: “I’m just tired” or “You’re overthinking.” But how can I not overthink when I feel invisible in my own marriage?

I find myself questioning everything. Is it me? Have I changed? Am I no longer someone he desires, or worse—someone he loves? The doubt is eating away at me, making me feel small, unwanted, replaceable.

I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to lose him, but I also don’t want to lose myself trying to hold on to something that may already be slipping away.

And the scariest part? I don’t know if he even notices.
