Hi, I'm Milana. I've been reading through some of these stories and honestly, they hit really close to home. A few years ago, I went through something very similar - the emotional distance, the silence, the feeling of slowly disappearing in your own relationship. It was heartbreaking and confusing, and I just want to say that what you're feeling is valid.
One thing that helped me slowly reconnect with myself was stepping outside the expectations I used to put on love and connection. I started with therapy and later explored local hookups nearhookups.com - not as a quick fix, but as a way to rediscover closeness without pressure. Surprisingly, it brought back a sense of being wanted, of being alive, which I hadn't felt in a long time.
It's not about moving on overnight. Healing takes time. But sometimes small, honest moments with others can remind us who we are - and that we still deserve affection, in whatever form feels right.
Sending you strength. You're not alone in this.💛
