I\u2019m not really sure how to say this, but my marriage has hit a rough patch, and it\u2019s been weighing on me. I used to feel so secure in the love we shared\u2014like I was seen, valued, and cherished for everything I brought to the table. But lately, that feeling has faded. It\u2019s as if the things I do, the effort I put into our life together, go unnoticed.<\/p><div class=\"311fe198f191a864c1efcdfa9efedfdf\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1782571\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<p>I try to be understanding. Life gets busy, and relationships change over time. But deep down, it hurts. I find myself questioning if I\u2019m still enough, if I still have that glow I used to feel so confident about. The little things that used to make me feel special\u2014a compliment, a kind word, or just being told \u201cthank you\u201d\u2014seem to have disappeared. And without them, I feel like I\u2019m losing a part of myself.<\/p>\n<p>I know my worth shouldn\u2019t depend on someone else\u2019s validation, but I\u2019d be lying if I said it didn\u2019t matter to me. I just want to feel seen again, like I\u2019m not just another part of the routine but someone who matters, who brings joy and light to someone\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, I need a reminder of the person I used to be, the person I want to believe I still am. I want to know if I still have that glow\u2014the spark that made me stand out, that made me feel alive. Can you help me see myself that way again?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi there.
