Stop needing validation

Everything I do I look for some kind of reaction from my husband. I get nothing.

I color my hair, nothing, I wear a nice or crazy outfit, nothing. I make a nice meal, nothing. He will tell me it needs more spices.

I need to stop wasting my time. I need to do stuff for me. I think I’m going to try line dancing tonight. But I can’t get out of my head that he won’t react at all.

I have decisions to make but it’s so hard.

Welcome to Tides of Me I’m a woman rediscovering herself, learning to live by my own current, and stepping into the life I’ve always wanted. My Wake-Up Moment For years, I moved through life following expectations — as a mom, a wife, and the dependable one everyone could count on. Then one day, I realized I wouldn’t even drive to the beach — my favorite place on earth — without wondering what my husband would think. Not because he’d stop me, but because somewhere along the way, I stopped checking in with myself. Why I Started This Blog Tides of Me is my journey of rediscovery. It’s about stepping into independence, finding joy in my own choices, and learning to trust my own decisions.
