After five years of marriage, the joyful time I once shared with my husband had almost completely disappeared. I used to believe love mattered more than money, but now, stuck in a rundown town with no job prospects, the passion we once had is long gone. Our sex life has become shallow and routine, lacking the emotional and physical connection we once craved. It's become nothing more than a mechanical habit. Fearing I might lose myself if things continue this way, I've started to realize I need to make a change.
