I feel like a object not a wife

I’m married to someone who’s obsessed with my body but can’t stand the person I am underneath. He lights up when we’re physical but the second the moment passes, it’s cold silence and a complete lack of care for anything that matters to me.

He never asks about my day, dismisses my feelings, and acts like talking to me is a chore, yet he touches me like I’m his favorite thing in the world. It’s dehumanizing honestly. I feel like a object not a wife, someone he uses for pleasure but doesn’t want to connect with on any real level.

I crave intimacy that’s more than skin deep. But instead, I’m stuck in a marriage where my worth only lies in how I look to him. Has anyone else been in a relationship where physical attraction overshadowed genuine care? How did you navigate feeling valued only for your body not your soul?

... Read moreFeeling like an object rather than a valued partner in a marriage is a deeply painful experience that many individuals silently endure. When physical affection is abundant yet emotional connection is lacking, it can leave one feeling dehumanized and isolated. This dynamic, where one partner is obsessed with the other's body but dismissive of their feelings and personal needs, often leads to an imbalance that harms both emotional well-being and relationship satisfaction. The phrase from the image "I'm married to someone who hates me but loves my body" poignantly captures this struggle—highlighting the disconnect between physical desire and emotional rejection. In such situations, the lack of communication and empathy often exacerbates feelings of loneliness and inadequacy. Navigating these complex emotions starts with acknowledging the pain without self-blame and seeking safe ways to express your feelings, whether through trusted friends, support groups, or professional counseling. Encouraging open dialogues about emotional needs and boundaries can challenge the pattern of valuing only physical attractiveness. Additionally, focusing on self-care and self-worth outside of the relationship may empower you to redefine your identity beyond being an object of desire. Building a support network of people who appreciate you for your whole self can provide the affirmation missing at home. If reconciliation and emotional intimacy remain unattainable despite efforts, it may be necessary to evaluate the long-term health of the relationship. Remember, everyone deserves to be loved and respected for who they are, not just how they look. Seeking help from licensed therapists or counselors specializing in relationship issues can offer tools for healing and guidance on next steps. Sharing these experiences in supportive communities can also alleviate the sense of isolation and provide diverse perspectives on coping strategies. You are not alone in facing a marriage where physical attraction overshadows genuine care, and there are paths toward reclaiming your emotional well-being and finding meaningful connection.

A sketchbook page displays two pencil sketches of hands holding apples. Overlay text reads "HOW I DRAW HANDS HOLDING OBJECTS," serving as the title for a drawing tutorial on drawing hands holding objects.
A sketchbook shows two light pencil circles. Two real hands, one at the top right and one at the bottom right, hold red apples, demonstrating the initial step of drawing the object as a reference.
A sketchbook displays two circles with rough hand outlines sketched around them. Two real hands holding apples are shown, with green lines highlighting the main shapes of the hands for reference.
How I Draw Hands That Are Holding an Object
Using the object as a point of reference is just another way to get more accurate placements of the fingers and palm (you can use anything that’s in your reference photo and on your drawing). So for example: when I map out the fingers on the top hand, how far does the pointer finger extend to? Of
