So you often hear mentioned about marriages/partnerships going through 'a rough patch'.
I'd be interested to hear some experiences of this. Have you been through rough patches? How long did they last? How often? Did you do something specific to get over it, or did live just kind of move on??
Background - been with DH 11 yrs, married about 7. I'd say the last year has been 'rough'. DH would say that it has been longer. I think things are getting better recently, but not completely smooth yet. In pessimistic moments I think this is progression towards end of the marriage. In optimistic moments I think it's a rough patch that we will get past.
(NB - to be clear - by rough I don't mean 'physically rough/violent' - just when the relationship is strained / difficult / unhappy.)
