A Lonely Wife’s Letter to Her Absent Husband: Words Left Unsaid

I sit here tonight, in the quiet of our home, and my mind wanders to you. Not just you, but the version of us I once knew. The couple who laughed together, who shared everything without hesitation.

Now, I write this letter not to blame, but to share the feelings I’ve been carrying.

It’s been days, weeks, months since we’ve truly connected.

Physically, you might be miles away, but emotionally, the distance feels even greater. I don’t know when it started, this gap between us. Maybe it crept in so slowly that I didn’t notice until it felt like I was standing alone.

I know life is demanding.

Work pulls you in so many directions. And I understand why you feel the need to focus on those things. But where does that leave me? Where do we fit in now?

The Loneliness I Never Mention

I don’t remember the last time I told you I felt alone.

Not because I don’t want to burden you, but because I’m afraid it will fall on deaf ears. I keep thinking,

What’s the point?

Maybe you’re too wrapped up in everything else to notice my absence, but I feel yours every single day.
