Imagine having someone who loves y, someone who is there for you, who dreams of growing old with you. They chose you above everyone else. But now, they find themselves sitting alone on the other side of the couch, looking at the clock as you immerse yourself in the world of your friends, laughter, and late nights out.
There’s nothing wrong with friendships; we all need them. But when your partner feels like they’re competing for your attention, it becomes more than just harmless fun. The truth is, we often get caught up in the idea that our partner will always be there, waiting patiently for us to “find time.” But time doesn’t pause for anyone, and neither do hearts that go ignored.
Neglect doesn’t always look like a slammed door or a heated argument. Sometimes, it’s the quiet absence of “How was your day?” or “I missed you.” It’s the silence that fills the spaces where conversations used to be. The emotional distance that slowly creeps in as you prioritize everyone else but the one who is always there for you. And before you know it, the person who once lit up at your arrival now looks away, already numb to the disappointment.

While you’re busy with your friends, your spouse is growing accustomed to life without you, to feeling alone even when you’re together. They may still be there today, but for how long? The world is full of distractions, but your partner chose you because they believed you would prioritize them. When was the last time you did the same?
Don’t wait for the day you realize you’ve lost the one who truly mattered because you couldn’t see past the temporary joys and fleeting company. Cherish them now. Prioritize the quiet nights over loud parties, the heartfelt conversations over casual banter. Show them that they still matter more than anyone else.
