In your romantic relationship, how often do you have bad days, bad weeks and bad months?

Sometimes weeks, sometimes days. Days are usually about some minor argument that flares up and turns into more than it should.

Bad weeks are usually about on going issues that have never been resolved and just drain the life out of our marriage.

For me, sometimes I just wish I could be heard and understood, without having her trying to convince me why my feelings are wrong and she is right. She thinks I have a hard time getting over things but I don't feel like my point of view is valid in her eyes. Sometimes I don't need an apology, I just need to be heard and for her to try and see things from my perspective. Those issues that I feel like she doesn't care about enough to understand my point of view, are hard to get through, whether or not she would feel the same way is irrelevant. She isn't me and I'm not her, and we feel differently.
