My hubby and I had many rough years and he decided on an in-house separation that lasted 14 months and now we are piecing. I think stress and our poor communication skills and kids health issues (autoimmune stuff and genetic disorder) really brought out the worst in us. We have been a couple for many years previously and while we did fight some, after kids things went to hell pretty quickly. The stress of being parents is what I think really strained the marriage.
I am so glad to hear that you are piecing . Thanks for sharing your experience, I sounds like parenting put your M through the wringer as in our case.
I was looking at a photo of H and I on vacation while I was pregnant with my first child. We were so happy and having so much fun on our adventure. It was romantic and we were excited and looking forward to being parents. On a short year later, the long downhill slope had already begun . I have regrets about not making our M enough of a priority during those years.
