​The Silence of Window Shopping

I see the searching. I see the "window shopping"—the looking around as if something better might be just out of sight. It’s a heavy realization to sit with, and it brings up questions that are hard to ask but even harder to ignore.

​When you feel someone you care about looking elsewhere, it naturally turns the lens back on yourself. You start to audit your own heart and your own actions. I want to know: What have I done wrong? What is it that I’m not giving you?

​Relationships aren’t just about being present; they are about being enough for one another. But when that "enough" feels like it’s being questioned, it leaves a raw, open wound. It’s not just about the fear of loss—it’s about the desire to understand where the disconnect started.

​I’m sharing this because I know I’m not the only one who has felt this specific kind of isolation while standing right next to someone. Vulnerability isn’t a weakness; it’s the only way to find the truth.

​How do you handle the moment you realize someone you love is looking for something you aren't providing?

 Let's talk about it in the comments.
