Title: I Miss Them. But I Don’t Want Them Back.

 There’s a specific kind of heartbreak no one talks about:


Missing someone you know you’re better off without.


Missing someone who brought chaos or silence, but still filled a part of your life.


You don’t want them back.


You don’t want the pain or the confusion.


But you miss the version of you that loved them, or believed in them, or kept waiting for them to show up better.


You miss the laughs, the shared silence, even the hope.


You’re not going back.


But you’re still grieving.


And that’s valid.

Lonely in a Marriage That Looks Successful

You have a good home. A steady income. A spouse who hasn't left.   And yet, something in you feels alone — quietly, deeply, achingly alone. This isn’t about drama or abuse or arguments. It’s about the slow erosion of emotional closeness. And many high-functioning, successful people silently carry this. Reflection: Sometimes, success creates a mask. On the outside, everything appears fine. But inside, one or both partners may have stopped showing up emotionally. There are fewer questions like “How are you, really?” Fewer pauses to actually listen. You begin talking more about bills, schedules, responsibilities — and less about what makes you feel alive, scared, or connected. Emotional disconnection often happens slowly. Not through betrayal — but through busyness. Not through cruelty — but through convenience. One day, you realize you’re doing life with someone, but not feeling life together. And you wonder if it’s just you. If maybe you expect too much. Or feel too much. Or give to...

The Kind of Loneliness That Happens in Front of People

 There’s a kind of loneliness I never used to have words for. The kind that sits with you quietly — even when someone’s sitting right next to you. You laugh. You nod. You pass the food. You answer the “how was your day?” And still, there’s this ache. Not because anyone hurt you. But because no one really felt you. You can be in a room full of people who care about you… and still feel like your insides are missing from the conversation. You can be married, loved, supported — and still starving for emotional closeness. And it’s not because you’re too much. It’s because maybe, no one ever learned how to meet you where your soul lives. There’s a part of you that wants to be asked: “How’s your heart today?” Not just… “What’s your next task?” And the truth is — most people don’t know how to sit with someone in silence. Most don’t know how to hold space without rushing to fix. So we adapt. We become funny, useful, capable, soft-spoken, low-maintenance. We master how to show up — while slo...

The Weight of Being the One Who Holds It All Together

 There are people who don’t ask for much. They just hold it all together. Quietly. In relationships. At home. For others. They’re the glue, the bridge, the fixer. And yet — no one checks how heavy their heart feels. They smile during the day, function at work, respond to texts. They make space for everyone else’s chaos. But when night falls, they lie awake thinking, “Why does no one hold me the way I hold them?” If you’ve ever felt this, this space is for you. Not to fix it — but to name it. To breathe into it. To feel less alone in that quiet emotional exhaustion. You don’t have to keep proving your strength. You’re allowed to be tired too.   🌿 Explore More Reflections: Visit I too Have Heart Blog 🕊️ Quiet Emotional Support Space: Join us on Telegram 💬 Request a Free 15-Minute Consultation with Ira Malhotra:   Click here to schedule your free emotional support session   *(First 15 minutes are free — just a soft space to talk and feel heard.)* Quietly Off...
