When I was in college, my world changed when my mom passed away. During that time, I became close to a guy I met online. He soon confessed he had feelings for me, but I didn’t feel the same. He kept visiting every weekend, driving five hours just to see me. He was kind, thoughtful, and won over my friends. Eventually, I gave in, and after a year of courtship, we got married. But once we were married, everything shifted. There was no physical intimacy, no honeymoon, and no romance. It felt like we were just roommates.
I tried talking to him about it, but he always avoided the topic. When I pushed for answers, he snapped and slapped me. I was shocked. He apologized, but the pattern continued—no affection, no communication. We did regular things like grocery shopping and watching movies, but the emotional connection we once had was gone. I checked for signs of an affair and even asked if he was gay, but he always denied it. There was no intimacy, no love letters, no sweet messages. It was like a switch had flipped after the wedding.
