What we lack is not time but attention.😞

We sat beside each other.

But didn't say anything.

"The silence between us... has been ringing since the baby."

It's not like there's nothing to talk about.

But we... don't know how to start

Before.

We can talk for hours.

The trivial matter became important.

But now

Our conversation is just left.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Is there anything to prepare tomorrow?"

"I'll lull myself."

Everything... about you.

It's not wrong at all.

But something... it's gone.

We're closer together than ever.

But it feels farther apart.

Some nights.

Each person plowing the phone

Both seats are less than a meter apart.

No, don't love anymore

It's just that we're "tired" until there's no strength to be the same.

No strength to reconcile

There's no strength to start a conversation.

There's no force to ask, "How was your day?"

And then silence.

It gradually replaced

Until one day

We can feel...

We're a good dribbling team.

But forgetting to be "lovers."

...

But maybe

Love doesn't go away

It's just waiting.

Let someone... start again.

Probably not to be grand.

Just turn to the question:

"Are you tired today?"

Or put your hands together

On a night when everything was too quiet,

Because sometimes

What we lack... is not time.

But a "little attention" as before.

And it can still come back... if we choose it again. 🤍

... Read moreหลังจากที่มีลูก ชีวิตคู่ของเราอาจเปลี่ยนแปลงไปอย่างมาก จากการที่เคยพูดคุยกันได้เป็นชั่วโมง ก็กลายเป็นบทสนทนาเล็กๆ น้อยๆ ที่เกี่ยวกับลูกเพียงเท่านั้น สิ่งนี้ทำให้หลายคู่รู้สึกเหมือนอยู่ใกล้กันแต่กลับรู้สึกไกลมากขึ้น ความเงียบเริ่มเข้ามาแทนที่บทสนทนาที่เคยเต็มไปด้วยความรู้สึกอบอุ่นและความรัก จากประสบการณ์ของผู้คนมากมายที่ผ่านช่วงเวลานี้มา การได้ตอบสนองด้วย "ความใส่ใจเล็กๆ" เป็นสิ่งที่สำคัญมาก ไม่ว่าจะเป็นการถามว่าคู่ของเรารู้สึกเหนื่อยหรือมีอะไรอยากพูดคุย หรือแม้แต่การยื่นมือไปจับกันในคืนที่เงียบสงัด สิ่งเล็กๆ เหล่านี้สามารถช่วยเติมเต็มช่องว่างที่เกิดขึ้นได้อย่างมาก เพราะหลายครั้งที่เราอาจคิดว่าต้องใช้เวลามากหรือทำสิ่งที่ยิ่งใหญ่เพื่อดูแลความสัมพันธ์ แต่ความจริงแล้ว "ความใส่ใจ" อย่างจริงใจและต่อเนื่องมีพลังเปลี่ยนแปลงได้มากกว่านั้น เวลาที่เราหมดแรงหรือเหนื่อยล้า จากการดูแลลูกและงานบ้าน การเริ่มบทสนทนาอาจเป็นเรื่องยาก แต่ถ้าเริ่มจากคำถามง่ายๆ เช่น "วันนี้เหนื่อยไหม" เราก็จะได้เปิดโอกาสให้คู่ของเรารู้สึกว่าเขายังได้รับการดูแลและแบ่งปันความรู้สึก ซึ่งช่วยลดความอึดอัดและความเงียบในความสัมพันธ์ลงได้ บทความนี้จึงเตือนใจว่าความรักไม่ได้หายไปไหนหรอก แต่มันรอให้คนในความสัมพันธ์เลือกที่จะใส่ใจและเริ่มต้นใหม่ การกลับมาใส่ใจกันและกันเล็กๆ น้อยๆ เป็นจุดเริ่มต้นที่ดีในการสร้างความสัมพันธ์ที่เข้มแข็งและอบอุ่นในช่วงเวลาที่เต็มไปด้วยความท้าทายของการเป็นพ่อแม่และคู่ชีวิต
