I spent so much time trying to change my husband—pushing him to open up, to have the hard conversations, to make space for us. I wanted him to notice my loneliness, to ask about what was shifting in my world, to meet me where I was.
But I never paused to look at the one thing I actually had power over: myself.
The truth? I didn’t realize how I was contributing to the distance between us. And when it finally dawned on me that maybe I played a role in the disconnect, I didn’t know where to begin. I didn’t know how to shift what was happening inside me.
Let me ask you something:
If you could stop trying to control everything and everyone around you... let go of the fear of heartbreak, grief, sadness, or betrayal...
If you could trust yourself again… really trust yourself—wouldn’t you?
Because the truth is:
If you could, you would.
And maybe it’s time you found out that you can.
