Are you sharing a bed or just a mattress?

Most men think the worst part of distance is the arguments.
It’s not.

It’s the silence.
The nights when she rolls over, back turned, and the gap between you feels like an ocean.

So he lies there thinking:
“If I could just find the right words, she’d come back.”

But here’s the reality:
Ever notice how the more you try to talk her back into closeness at night, the faster she drifts further away?

Because it’s not about the words.
It’s about how safe she feels lying next to you.

Miss this and:
– That bed becomes the loneliest place in the house.
– You stop reaching for her because rejection stings too much.
– She stops reaching for you because she doesn’t trust it’ll land.

Stay stuck here, and the pattern snowballs:
Nights turn into weeks.
Weeks turn into months.
Soon, you’re two strangers under the same blanket, rehearsing what life looks like apart while pretending nothing’s wrong.

And by the time you realize the ache isn’t just hers but yours, too, she’s already made peace with sleeping alone.

The empty bed stops being a warning sign. It becomes the new normal.

P.S. If that’s not the future you want, reply “BED” and I’ll show you how to shift it before the silence becomes permanent.
