All relationships have ups and downs, and some people are better at managing them than others. However, if there are underlying mental health issues like a personality disorder, it could create even more significant issues and possibly cause irreversible damage.
Could your husband have a personality disorder? He may, or he might be terrible at communicating with you or have an anger issue.
