FWIW, I spoke to a female friend yesterday that has been married for 35 years. A long time considering she is 53.
She told me she has gone through "Funks" that have lasted nearly a year. She said that she was ready to move out only to eventually snap out of it.
I asked her how her H responded. She said he was consistent and did his own thing. Not reacting to his irrational W.

Anyway, I thought it was interesting.
