So this is a serious question that I have for you all....

What do you ladies do to improve your relationship with your husband when you are in a rough patch?

I sometimes feel like I am the only one trying to keep us together and man it can be a struggle. I hate to bring anybody down, but I need some help from my sistas :) TIA

Hey dont fell like you are alone in this situation. I go through that alot. I get so crazy that sometimes I feel like running away and he has to deal with stuff and kids, then maybe he could listen to me and understand. BUT of course that is my thinking. I dont think I could just leave especially the kids. SO I find that usually minding myself and the kids is what it takes for him to say hey whats going on or whatever if I do things out of the ordinary is the only way we mend our relationship sometimes, others I give up on it. But then again I stuggle with depression and mood disorders(regulated by meds) I may not not be helping you at all right now but it is a constant battle here. I hope you can get some support here. I do go to counseling for myself and sometimes that helps me help the situation.

Thanks Teri for the honest answers. I truly appreciate you for replying. It does help, thank you very much.

I usually try to plan time for just DH and I. Sometimes all we need is a nice dinner out. It seems like if we just stay home and talk we just end up fighting but if we go out and relax we "get back together" if that makes any sense. You are not alone on this. I think every marriage has rough patches.

Hey you, don't be down. Times are tough for everyone. When we hit those rough patches we try to do somethinig out of the norm. We take a walk or spend time with just us without the kids, or I try to concede and do something that he really likes.
I hoep this helps
