My husband and I had once been deeply in love. We built our home together, celebrated every achievement, and believed nothing could separate us.
But slowly, things changed. Money problems increased. Small disagreements became serious arguments. A simple conversation about bills could turn into hours of shouting.
Our children started spending more time outside because they did not want to hear us fighting.
The worst part was that we were no longer trying to understand each other. We were only trying to prove who was right. I began sleeping in another room.
My husband stopped sharing his plans with me. The warmth that once filled our home disappeared.
