It\u2019s as though something has quietly shifted between us, leaving behind a void that I can\u2019t quite fill. We go through the motions\u2014dinners, conversations, the day-to-day routines\u2014but the warmth, the spark that once brought us together, feels muted. I find myself questioning everything, wondering if it\u2019s just a phase or if something more has changed between us.<\/p>\n<p>More than anything, I feel a sense of underappreciation. I miss the way he used to look at me, as if I was the only person in the room. The little gestures, the compliments, the moments of affection\u2014those things that once felt so natural and affirming\u2014have started to fade. It\u2019s like I\u2019m not being seen in the way I once was, and it\u2019s left me doubting myself, wondering if I still have what it takes to feel attractive and valued in my own skin.<\/p>\n<p>I look in the mirror and search for the woman I was when we first met, the woman who felt confident and grounded, who believed in her own beauty and worth. I don\u2019t want to feel like I\u2019m losing that part of myself, but it\u2019s hard not to when the appreciation seems to have faded from the relationship. I find myself wondering, <em>Is it me? Have I changed so much? Or have we just grown so comfortable that we\u2019re no longer looking at each other with the same excitement and admiration?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not about needing validation from anyone else\u2014I know that self-worth is something we have to find within ourselves. But there\u2019s something about being seen and appreciated by the person you love that makes it easier to believe in your own beauty, to feel desired and valued. And right now, I\u2019m struggling to feel that.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d love to know that I still have that spark, that I\u2019m still the woman I used to be. Maybe the answer lies in reconnecting with myself, in finding ways to feel strong and beautiful from within. I\u2019ve started doing little things for myself, whether it\u2019s taking time for hobbies, putting on my favorite dress just because, or spending a few extra minutes savoring a moment of quiet. I\u2019m slowly learning that my worth isn\u2019t defined by anyone else\u2019s gaze but my own.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s still a part of me that wishes he\u2019d see me the way he once did, that he\u2019d remind me of what I know deep down\u2014that I am enough, just as I am. Maybe that\u2019s something we\u2019ll rediscover together, or maybe it\u2019s a journey I\u2019ll take on my own. Either way, I\u2019m determined to feel valued and attractive, not just in my own skin, but in my own soul.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-2 flex gap-3 empty:hidden -ml-2\">\n<div class=\"items-center justify-start rounded-xl p-1 flex\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center\"><button class=\"rounded-lg text-token-text-secondary hover:bg-token-main-surface-secondary\" aria-label=\"Read aloud\" data-testid=\"voice-play-turn-action-button\"><\/button><button class=\"rounded-lg text-token-text-secondary hover:bg-token-main-surface-secondary\" aria-label=\"Copy\" data-testid=\"copy-turn-action-button\"><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex items-center pb-0\"><span class=\"overflow-hidden text-clip whitespace-nowrap text-sm\">4o<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"allow-copy_covered_elem_id_1730887727904\" class=\"allow-copy_cover allow-copy_cover__minimized\" style=\"top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 740px; height: 925px;\" data-check-covered-elem-position-interval=\"4\">\n<ul class=\"allow-copy_cover-actions\">\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_grab-btn\" title=\"Grab Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_copy-to-clipboard-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Copy full text to clipboard\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_reset-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Clear Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action  allow-copy_maximize-btn\" title=\"Maximize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_minimize-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Minimize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_beta-icon \" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"allow-copy__beta-testing-label\" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta feature<i class=\"allow-copy__settings\">  <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"allow-copy_covered_elem_id_1730887730904\" class=\"allow-copy_cover allow-copy_cover__minimized\" style=\"top: 26px; left: 10px; width: 740px; height: 925px;\" data-check-covered-elem-position-interval=\"14\">\n<ul class=\"allow-copy_cover-actions\">\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_grab-btn\" title=\"Grab Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_copy-to-clipboard-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Copy full text to clipboard\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_reset-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Clear Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action  allow-copy_maximize-btn\" title=\"Maximize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_minimize-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Minimize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_beta-icon \" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"allow-copy__beta-testing-label\" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta feature<i class=\"allow-copy__settings\">  <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past few months, my marriage has felt a bit distant, and I can\u2019t deny how much it weighs on me.
