From the outside, everyone thinks my husband and I are in a happy marriage. Our marriage seems so happy from outside, but it’s not.

I feel so disconnected from my husband lately. He doesn’t even seem to care when I cry myself to sleep.

It feels like the only thing that connects us now is whether he gets food or if the house is clean. He never asks how my day was or why I seem sad.

I just feel so alone in my marriage, and I don’t know how to fix it anymore. Is my marriage over?

I feel this so much. In our society, everyone assumes marriage means happiness, but behind closed doors, it can feel so empty. I’ve cried in my room while my husband watched TV, completely unaware of my pain. It was such a difficult phase! Try talking to him or couple's therapy!

This is so relatable. I’ve seen my mother go through the same. In Indian marriages, people expect us to smile, cook, and keep the house perfect, but no one asks about our feelings. Sometimes it makes me wonder if marriage is even worth all the effort!

Please go for couples therapy before both of you are so distant that it’s too late!

It’s so sad that women give up so many things in their life for marriage, only to end up in a place where neither parents nor husband care about their feelings and emotions. Talk to your friends to build emotional support outside marriage - and definitely talk to your husband.

I understand the sadness you feel. It’s like screaming in a room where no one can hear you. The loneliness eats at you from the inside, and you start questioning if love even exists in your marriage anymore. But believe me, your marriage is far from over - this happens in many relationships. We sometimes feel distant from the person we love so much. I think you should just talk to your husband; there’s a chance he may be feeling the same. You’ll be surprised how much things can improve if people set their egos aside and actually talk to each other.

Marriage only ends when you stop believing it can work. Loneliness in marriage is more common than we think, but it can’t be the end if both of you are willing to make the effort.
