“Love Doesn’t Leave — It Just Changes”

 💛 To every mommy reading this:

After my daughter was born, something changed — not just in me, but between us.

There was a silence that crept in.
Not the peaceful kind… the heavy kind.
The kind where no one says anything — not because there’s nothing to say, but because everything feels like a fight.

I was tired, sleepless, frustrated.
Craving love, affection, a little care — and carrying an invisible load no one really sees.
He, on the other hand, seemed distant. Just doing his part — like a flat routine.
I kept thinking, “Who is this man?”
And honestly… I started questioning my decision of marrying him.

But yesterday, I sat down.

But yesterday, I sat down.
Cried.
Spoke.
Vented.

And in all those tears, I realized something I’d missed:

He was struggling too.

While I was drowning in emotional exhaustion,
he was drowning in financial pressure — milk packets, medicines, loans, our daughter’s needs, sleepless nights, work stress…

He wasn’t absent. He was just… buried.

That’s when I understood:
Maybe love didn’t disappear.
Maybe the meaning just changed.

—

Now, instead of waiting for a fancy dinner or a perfect moment,
we do what feels like us.

We clean together.
We cook a homemade meal.
We laugh with our daughter.
We go for simple nature walks instead of malls.
We try to be present — not perfect.

And it’s slowly helping.

💛 To every mommy reading this:

Stay patient. Talk — even if it gets messy.
Sometimes, underneath all the anger and silence, both of you are just tired and hurting in different ways.

And also — yes, there’s a never-ending list of baby things you’ll need (especially if you’re staying alone with your husband — I’ll write a post about that soon). But until then, just hold on to each other.

Because trust me — there’s nothing your baby will love more than seeing her parents laughing together, eating together, or simply sharing a soft, quiet moment.

It’s not about big love. It’s about real love — the kind that chooses to stay.
