My man, he don’t talk to me no more. It ain’t like the old days. We used to chat all the time, about this and that. Now, he just sits there, like a lump on a log. Why does my husband ignore me? I just don’t get it.
He comes home from work, barely grunts a hello. Eats his supper in silence. Then he’s off to his shed, or he’s glued to that darn TV. I try to talk to him, ask him about his day. Nothing. It’s like I’m invisible. A ghost in my own house. This makes me sad, you know? A woman needs a little attention.
Sometimes I wonder, is he mad at me? Did I do something wrong? I rack my brain, but I can’t think of nothing. I keep the house clean, cook his meals. What more does he want? Husband ignores me all the time, and I don’t know why. It’s driving me up the wall.
- I asked him, “Is everything okay?”
- He just shrugged, like he didn’t hear me.
- I said, “You seem distant.”
- He mumbled something about being tired.
Tired all the time. That’s his excuse. But we’re all tired! Life’s tiring! That don’t mean you shut out the people you love. Or at least, the people you’re supposed to love. Why does my husband ignore me when I talk to him? It’s like he builds a wall around himself. A big, stone wall. And I’m on the outside, looking in.
I remember when we were younger, we couldn’t get enough of each other. We’d talk for hours, laughing, sharing secrets. He used to look at me like I was the only woman in the world. Now, he looks right through me. It hurts, it really does. Like a dull ache in my chest.
Maybe he’s got troubles at work. Men, they don’t like to talk about their problems. They bottle it all up inside. But that ain’t healthy. You gotta let it out, share the load. That’s what I always say. A problem shared is a problem halved. But he won’t listen to me. He just says, just leave him alone, so maybe it is time to give them some space.
- Maybe he’s stressed.
- Maybe he’s just going through a phase.
- Maybe he’s just not a talker anymore.
- Or maybe, just maybe, he doesn’t love me anymore.
That last thought, it scares me. It keeps me up at night. I toss and turn, staring at the ceiling, wondering where we went wrong. Husband ignores me after work every day. It makes me think he doesn’t want to be around me. We built a life together, a home. Is it all falling apart? I don’t know what to do.
I try to be patient. I try to be understanding. I tell myself, “He’ll come around. He’ll talk when he’s ready.” But the silence, it’s deafening. It’s like a heavy blanket, smothering me. I feel so alone, even when he’s sitting right next to me. And you know what, maybe it is time to talk to him later, but not now.
I wish I knew how to reach him. How to break down that wall. How to make him see me again, really see me. I miss my husband. The man I married. The man who used to talk to me, who used to share his life with me. Now, it’s just silence. And it’s breaking my heart. I just want him to tell me to my face: why does my husband ignore me?
I keep busy, try not to dwell on it. I tend to my garden, I bake, I visit with the neighbors. But even then, the thought is always there, nagging at me. What’s wrong with him? What’s wrong with us? Maybe I should just tell him what I want to say, be direct about it. But it is hard, you know. It is not easy to find the right moment.
They say communication is key. Maybe that’s where we’re going wrong. We’re not talking, not really talking. Just going through the motions. Like two ships passing in the night. We need to find our way back to each other. We need to remember how to talk, how to listen. Emotional distance in relationship is like a weed, you know? It grows if you don’t take care of it, choking everything else. My husband is not interested in my life, and I don’t know why.
I don’t have the answers. I just have this heavy heart, and a lot of questions. I hope one day, he’ll open up to me again. I hope one day, we’ll find our way back to each other. Until then, I’ll just keep on keeping on. That’s all a woman can do, ain’t it? Just keep on keeping on, and hope for the best.
