But for the last six months I feel different. Im under a lot of stress with work and being made redundant in 6 weeks. So this could maybe be why? and maybe our relationship will improve once Im out of the stressful job.But i've cut back on the amount of time we spend together and honestly when were not together i dont miss him. He knows that something is up between us and when ive tried talking about it he just says its a bad patch but we'll pull through. I dont know what to do for the best. I know people say that you have to keep working at a relationship. So is that what I need to do keep working at it or do you think our relationship may have ran its course. Reply to this Question

I think that stress is horrible for relationships... horrible. The few times my marriage has had serious problems was when outside events were causing a lot of stress. Otherwise it's great.
So if I was you I'd wait a little bit, you may end up making the wrong decision. However you do need to work on it. Go out on dates, spice things up on the bedroom, do nice things for each other. It really makes a difference.
If you don't put some effort into it you'll dump him and have similar problems with the next guy.
