Ex came back from abroad different—what do I do?
She left for Dubai 3 years ago and it was hard, but I managed. Took care of the house, sent her extra money when she needed, made sure she felt missed. But when she came back last month, something’s off. Not bad, not mean—but like… a stranger wearing my wife’s face? She don’t laugh at the same jokes, gets annoyed if I ask where she’s going, even if just to mall. Says she’s ‘different now’ but won’t explain how. I feel like a guest in my own home. Tried talking, she just says ‘You wouldn’t understand, you didn’t live there.’ But we’re married naman eh. It's like that naman eh, you expect things to pick up, not… unravel. Last night I asked if she still loves me and she said, ‘I care, but maybe not like before.’ Ganun ba? After everything? I don’t even know what to fix because I can’t name what changed. How do you fight something you can’t see?
