It wasn\u2019t always this way\u2014there was a time when his eyes lit up at the sight of me, when he couldn\u2019t wait to be near me, to touch me, to talk to me. But now, it feels like I\u2019m fading into the background of his life, just another piece of furniture in our home.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"384\" data-end=\"702\">I try to spark his interest again, wearing the dresses he used to love, cooking his favorite meals, even suggesting we go away for a weekend together. But nothing changes. He stays glued to his phone, lost in work, or watching TV in silence. When I reach for him at night, he shifts away, as if my touch is a burden.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"704\" data-end=\"971\">I can\u2019t help but wonder\u2014what changed? Is it me? Have I become less desirable, less interesting? Maybe I\u2019m not worth his time anymore. Maybe he\u2019s found someone else, someone younger, more exciting. The thought gnaws at me, making me question everything about myself.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"973\" data-end=\"1213\">I miss being wanted, being seen. I don\u2019t need grand gestures, just something\u2014some small sign that I still matter to him. But as each day passes with the same cold distance, I start to wonder if I\u2019m chasing something that no longer exists.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1215\" data-end=\"1373\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">I don\u2019t know what to do anymore. Do I fight for him, for us? Or do I accept the painful truth\u2014that I might be holding onto a love that\u2019s already slipped away?<\/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>Lately, my husband barely looks at me.
