My husband\u2019s indifference makes me wonder if I\u2019m just not good enough for him anymore.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"156\" data-end=\"558\">There was a time when his eyes would light up when he saw me, when his touch was filled with warmth and desire. Now, his gaze barely lingers, his touch feels absent, and our conversations have become nothing more than routine exchanges about schedules and responsibilities. The love that once felt effortless now feels like a distant memory, slipping further away no matter how much I try to hold on.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"560\" data-end=\"1026\">I still put in the effort\u2014I dress up, I try to engage him in conversations, I make time for just the two of us. But it feels like I\u2019m the only one trying. He doesn\u2019t notice when I wear his favorite perfume or when I take extra care with my appearance. When I reach for his hand, he pulls away absentmindedly, as if my touch no longer matters. The rejection stings, but what hurts more is the realization that he doesn\u2019t even seem to notice the distance between us.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1028\" data-end=\"1409\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">I lie awake at night, wondering what changed. Was it me? Did I become boring, less desirable? Or is it something else\u2014something unspoken, something he won\u2019t say out loud? The silence between us is heavier than words, and it leaves me questioning everything. I don\u2019t want to beg for his attention, but I can\u2019t keep pretending that I don\u2019t crave it. I just want to feel wanted again.<\/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 miss feeling wanted in my marriage.
