00:00She said, you don't care about me. And you got angry. You fired back with all the ways you do
00:06care. The hours you work, the bills you pay, the things you fix without being asked. You told her
00:10how hard you try. How much you give like you were defending yourself in a courtroom instead of
00:15hearing a woman who's breaking in front of you. You heard blame. You heard disrespect. You thought
00:19she was questioning your effort. But she wasn't. She was questioning if you still see her. The
00:26woman inside the role, the human behind the function, the one you used to reach for without
00:29needing a reason. She didn't mean the words. She meant the ache underneath them. The ache that says,
00:36I'm drowning. I don't feel safe with you emotionally. I don't know how to get you to
00:40notice me anymore. I feel invisible in a life I used to dream about. I'm so tired of holding this
00:45home, this family, this relationship together with hands that are bleeding. But she didn't have the
00:50words for that. She had exhaustion. And the last thread of hope wrapped around a sentence, she knew
00:55would start a fight. Because even a fight felt closer than your silence. See, she meant,
01:01I'm unraveling in a house I helped build. I'm grieving a version of us I can't seem to bring
01:06back. I'm terrified that you don't even notice how far I've drifted. And I hate that I miss the
01:10man I used to feel safe with. The man she's lying next to who doesn't ask if she's okay anymore.
01:16Because women don't always speak in clean logic when they're exhausted from carrying everything
01:20and still being questioned for it. They speak in tone, in eyes that stop lighting up, in silence
01:25that last longer each night, in tears that don't fall in front of you anymore. Because they've
01:30already given up being understood. And if you only hear the sentence, you'll miss the cry. You'll
01:36defend yourself instead of disarming her. You'll correct her instead of catching her. You'll argue
01:40the surface and ignore the ache underneath. You'll try to be right while the woman you love is slipping
01:45further into a version of herself that stopped believing you'll ever fight for her again.
01:49She says, you don't care about me. And you hear disrespect. But what she's begging for
01:54is reconnection. She's saying, show me that I still matter to you. Not just as the mother of your kids.
02:01Not just as the woman who keeps everything together. But as the woman you see. The one you choose.
02:06The one you still reach for. When no one's looking. She says what she feels. You hear what she says.
02:12And in that gap, you lose her. Not all at once. But piece by piece. Until one day she looks at you
02:19and the softness is gone. She begged you to hold her with words you never understood. She begged you
02:24to notice. To stay curious. To stop choosing pride over presence. But now she's quiet. And the silence
02:31you're so relieved by? It isn't peace. It's her deciding that you'll never hear her. And she's done
02:37bleeding in a place that only ever asked her to smile. She said, you don't care about me. And maybe
02:43you didn't mean to stop. But if she had to say it, somewhere along the way, you did.
