What do you do when both you and your DH are at breaking point?

And neither of you have the emotional energy that is required to make the relationship work, but you still love eachother.

Is love enough?

Yes love is enough, breaking points can pass. You've just been through a massive change. Be kind to each other and keep talking. Have you tried relate? Sorry you're having a rough time x

Yes, realise you are the wrong person to paraphase the bible to but love endures even after knowledge is crumbled into dust and unless we discover a hidden talent for quantum physics or the book we apparently have in us it is all we will leave.

My very wise grief counsellor ( did u know grief only lasts for 10 counselling sessions on the NHS) said two very wise things; be kind to yourself and you don't have to fix things right now. Both of which are true of any tough times, sometimes it is enough to hang in, know you are both looking in the same direction and sleep curled round someone you love.

Yes. Love is the fundamental thing but it goes hand in hand with respect and kindness. Work on the respect and the kindness and the love will endure. What problems are you going through at the moment?
