Subject : Putting a strain onour relationship

My husband and I have been married for 7 years and have an 18 month old daughter. Recently I have noticed that we always seem to be 'getting' at each other. Before when one of us was tired the other one would take over but now we seem to be taking it out on each other. We don't seem to be enjoying each others company like we used to and wondered if anyone could make any suggestions please?

I can totally sympathise with you hun, my relationship got a bit like this over the last few months, basically because my oh was working so much and i felt like i was bringing the kids up alone. It felt like it was tit for tat and we would compare who had done more than the other, which would cause arguments.
Eventually we sat down and had a long chat and realised we both had very hectic and tiring days and we come to a compromise. Try and sit down and have a long chat about how your both feelng x x
