Your body knows before your mouth is ready to admit it. The tight jaw. The stomach drop. The way you feel peace the second he leaves the room. That’s not “being dramatic.” That’s your body reacting to a husband who stopped valuing you. If your body has been screaming what your heart keeps excusing, write BODY. #toxicmarriage #emotionalabuseawareness #marriageproblems #toxicrelationship #narcissisticabuse

Your body knows when your husband doesn't value you Before your in mouth even admits it before your mind catches up Your body always knows it's in the silence after you speak It's the way that he walks past you in the kitchen like you're a piece of furniture Not his wife furniture. It's how your story starts trailing off mid-sentence because his eyes They're already somewhere else It's like the little things that you asked him to remember They're forgotten by Tuesday. You keep trying different words Soft or tone louder voice better timing less emotion more patience You keep rearranging yourself into easier shapes because Somebody taught you that love means absorbing everything smooth it over be understanding Don't make it worse. Keep the peace. So you did you swallowed you adjusted You carried you're performed good wife Until your chest felt too small for everything you were keeping quiet them one day You stopped you stopped translating yourself to a man who understood you just fine You stopped apologizing for needing basic love and respect You stopped carrying his half of the marriage and calling it loyalty of course he acts shocked of course He says you changed of course. He acts like you came out of nowhere What a surprise didn't come out of nowhere Came out from years of being unseen in your own damn house if you didn't break You didn't fail you didn't become cold You remembered who you were before you learned how to shrink now Take up all the space you want if you stop shrinking right space in the comments below Stay here.
