When I look back at my past, I can hardly believe I am the same woman today. For years, my relationship was dull and lifeless. I loved my man deeply, but in the bedroom, things were not working. I was always dry, and sometimes it even hurt when we tried to be intimate. The worst part was watching his face change every night, from excitement to disappointment. Slowly, I could feel him pulling away, and the fear of losing him haunted me every single day.
I used to lie awake at night, pretending to be asleep while tears rolled down my cheeks. I wondered if maybe I was not woman enough or if I was destined to live a life where passion was just a dream. At times, I noticed he would delay coming home, giving excuses of work or errands. I knew deep down it was because I was not satisfying him, and the thought of him finding another woman broke my heart.
