At first he was incredibly kind and thoughtful. He remembered every holiday and special date always went out of his way to make me feel loved and talked openly about our future about having children building a life together and making me feel whole. When he hurt me he apologized sincerely and I truly felt cherished.
But over time everything changed. He became cold and distant stopped caring about my feelings and no longer seemed to mind if I cried. Important dates slipped by unnoticed and he grew comfortable with long stretches of silence. The warmth and care he once showed disappeared and it broke my heart.
Whenever I tried to ask what was wrong he’d get irritated and pick fights. He twisted things to make me feel like I was the problem. He said cruel things like You deserved it called me degrading names and claimed he owned me. When I expressed discomfort he made me feel even worse.
He wasn’t like that in the beginning. Back then he was gentle affectionate and never tried to control me. Now it feels like I’m mourning someone who’s no longer here not physically but emotionally. The person I fell in love with is gone and I’m left grieving the loss of who he used to be.

did you ever notice when he started changing? like was it sudden or more of a slow fade that you kept explaining away?
i felt this in my chest. mine did the same started off so tender and obsessed with me, then slowly turned cold and cruel. it’s such a mindfuck mourning someone who’s still alive
I don’t know why it happens or how people can be that way or how we could possibly have even known any better… but it does happen and it’s heart wrenching. You never stop missing the person you thought they were and your heart never stops longing for them. But they really are dead.
