Marriage problems?

The Welsh’S, on July 11, 2021 at 10:10 PM Posted in Married Life 0 8
My husband and I have only been married 8months and since the 3rd day of being married it’s been pure hell. It’s like the odds are against us. We are currently separated but this is the man I love who I chose to be my husband and it seem like it’s all falling down in front of me. Any advice?

    Oh no, I am so sorry to hear this 😔 are there specifics that are not working, or just general unhappiness? Have you tried couples or individual counseling to try to help?

    What has been going on? Is this completely brand new issues that never occurred before marriage? Is this coming from something new like living together or just being married?

    I’m sorry to hear this. I would seek counseling ASAP and see if it’s something you can work through together.

    Oh no that's not good at all, I would definitely bring up counseling to him to see if you can work through your problems. Goodluck with everything!

    Are you having problems with communication. I would recommend doing couples counseling if possible to identify the problems and how to resolve them better. Also, there’s many books about marriage that could help and that a counselor can recommend. There is also an app called “Lasting” that is basically a counseling app that takes you through lessons that’s both people have to complete. Some lessons may be about building trust, communication, etc. and also includes webinars at times with counselors on various topics.

    Might sound a little cliche, but read "The Five Love Languages". Could be a communication issue that the two of you are unaware of. Is there something specific that isn't working? If you've had issues since day 3 of being married I'd highly recommend couples therapy.

    We currently are in couples therapy and I've contemplated separating and have even made plans to do so. But after several long discussions, he has begun to make the changes necessary to make our marriage work. Drinking less, etc. We fight for our marriage to work, but also we are realistic that sometimes it may not work no matter how hard we try. For now we are working at our marriage, and If you want it to work definitely consider couples therapy and telling him how you feel!

    I’m so sorry you have to experience this overwhelming pain after making such a beautiful commitment to each other. I don’t know the specifics but I can tell you my fiancé and I had nearly called off the wedding after a blow up yesterday. After taking time apart, we both looked inward and realized it was about all the anxiety and stress that we turned it on each other. We’ve been going to couples counseling for a year now and have made huge strides in understanding each other’s deep routed pain from past experiences that had nothing to do with us. When I get anxious I see the face of the person who hurt me over his face and I “defend myself”, which he does the same. But after this work, he’s become more vulnerable and I’ve learned to trust him. I don’t your relationship but I’m sure you love each other enough to make this commitment. If you are both will to put down your weapons, be vulnerable with each other and say “I want to get back to us, and I’m willing to put in the work.” Then you might be surprised where you end up a year from now. It comes in waves (the good and the bad) but as long as there is no physical abuse or mental abuse, you’ll learn to ride out the stormy weather together. 💞 I’m routing for you!
