Have you ever brought a relationship back from the brink?

And was it ever as good as it was again?
DH and I had massive arguments on Saturday night and Sunday morning. We have been arguing a lot lately and there is lots of outside pressure on our relationship too at the moment (family issues, work and money stress).
On Sunday morning he left and went to work for the week. He works in a different part of the country and will be away all week. He was shouting as he left and said really unkind things to me. It was upsetting as I was trying to act normal for DC. Over the last two days we both said hurtful things.
We have worked so hard to get in this position (house, marriage, DC) and we have been together since we were teenagers and we have argued but never to this point before. I feel so upset and that it was left so poorly as now I won’t see him for a week.
Has anyone had a relationship deteriorate and get back to being happy again? If so how! TIA

Yes. I believe that all relationships ebb and flow over the course of time. BUT that wouldn't have been possible if there had been that level of disrespect. That said, I know that some people blow up and say awful things to each other, and then carry on as if nothing had happened. My point is, we all have different points or different courses of action at which something becomes irretrievable.
