We've been married for over two years but have been together for 9 (with a one year break in there somewhere). We have no kids, but do have our share of stress. We recently relocated to my home country after years and years abroad (pretty much the whole time of our relationship minus this last year). We're struggling setting ourselves up here--getting good jobs is the biggest one. So we have some financial stress on us that doesn't help. But in all honesty, we've never been the type of couple who doesn't fight. We have always had our share.
the new thing about recently, is that he has gone back to school and is working part time, and I am working full time and our schedules often clash and we go days without seeing each other. It bums me out, but then what happens that is even worse, is that we fight when we do get our odd moments together. Just this morning, I woke up a half hour before he had to leave for school, and we spent the entirety of the 30 minutes fighting--he left without a word in the end, and we won't see each other the next two days. He says I get at him too much, and I think that's probably true. In a way, that's a whole other story. --but for me, a big thing is that we are down to once a month sex, which has happened a couple other times during our relationship--and it ended up being a pornography issue (not on my end).
Anyway, I am just airing my problems because the fight this morning just happened, and I am bummed out. Marriage seems so hard sometimes, and my mind wanders to less stressful options. It seemed like a nice thing to write this out here.
