Let me tell you something nobody wants to say out loud. You aren't losing your mind. You aren't being "too much" or asking for the impossible. You are simply reacting to a man who decided to stop trying months ago, maybe even years ago. You’ve been looking for a reason to stay, searching for any tiny scrap of effort that proves you matter. But the truth is, the Signs He Doesn't Value You have been right in front of you the whole time.

You thought if you just loved him harder, or more clearly, or with more patience, he would finally see what he had. But a loyal woman’s love isn't a currency you can use to buy a man's respect. It’s a gift. If he’s treating that gift like it’s a burden, that’s his failure, not yours. You didn't imagine the distance between you. He built it, brick by brick, with every plan he canceled and every time he rolled his eyes when you tried to talk about your feelings.
