For anyone going through a tough time in their relationship at the moment, please read this!

Myself and my partner went through a tough time, almost ending our 4 year relationship. To be honest it was probably my fault! I'm young, I was fed up of a mediocre life and bored.

We then went on to have 3 miscarriages and a ectopic pregnancy.

I've suffered mentally the last year but probably couldn't see it myself till recently. Myself and my partner felt the weight of the world on us and everyone could see our cracks! Everyone was judging us.

Myself and my partner nearly split, we was arguing all the time, we couldn't agree on anything, I fell out with his family, it was horrendous..

But now - we are amazing, I'm so in love with him and I never thought it would get back to this.

Everyone is so quick to say to split up with your partner when things are going rubbish, but if anyone is going through anything similar or feeling similar to how I was. Please hold on tight just for a bit longer, ride the motions because if you can get that " spark back".

I promise it's the best feeling in the whole world when you fall in love all over again!! We still have no baby, nothing has changed, we have answers for or losses and now are looking forward to our wedding!

That's lovely and I hope you get everything you want.

Can I ask how you managed to get back from the edge?

@Bobthefishermanswife

Thank you, really appreciate it💕😥

Honestly, I have no idea.

I guess we both learnt to bite our tongues, laughed instead of argued and I tried showed my partner a lot more affection. IGNORED other people's opinions, I stopped talking to friends who had negative things to say about my partner. ( it was my fault, I never told them about the good he did!)

Oh! One thing I did do! I sat down and had a long hard look at myself.. realised It was me who needed to change just as much as him! Xx

Brilliant! Well done as well.
Self-criticism is so hard to do.
Hope you have a long and happy relationship together.

Good luck with everything- good for you to make the effort to change yourself. It’s not easy to take a look in the mirror and make changes.
