My husband doesn\u2019t seem to see me anymore, and I can\u2019t help but wonder if I\u2019m not enough for him. It\u2019s a painful thought, one I try to push away, but it lingers in the quiet moments when I realize how distant we\u2019ve become.<\/p>\n<p>I remember when his eyes used to light up when he saw me. Now, they barely flicker in my direction. Conversations are mechanical\u2014about errands, bills, or things that need fixing around the house. He used to ask about my day, about how I was feeling, about my dreams. Now, there\u2019s silence. Sometimes I test it, staying quiet to see if he\u2019ll notice, but he doesn\u2019t. It\u2019s as if my presence has become expected but not appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>I try harder\u2014dressing up, making his favorite meals, initiating conversations\u2014but nothing seems to bring him back to me. I tell myself it\u2019s just a phase, that all marriages go through ups and downs. But deep down, I fear it\u2019s more than that. Maybe he\u2019s grown tired of me. Maybe I\u2019ve stopped being the woman he once loved.<\/p>\n<p>I find myself staring at the ceiling at night, wondering what went wrong. Is it me? Is it him? Or have we simply drifted too far apart to find our way back? The worst part isn\u2019t just feeling invisible\u2014it\u2019s fearing that I may never be seen by him 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>I feel invisible in my marriage\u2014like a shadow that moves through the house unnoticed.
