‘What was the lowest point of your marriage?’: Singaporeans share their stories and how they moved forward

Being married isn't always sunshine and rainbows. Many couples are facing their own personal crises and dealing with issues in their long-term commitment. A Reddit user asked what the lowest point of people's marriages was, and many shared their vulnerable stories of struggles and how they moved forward.

One person admitted that they initially struggled financially, which affected their relationship. However, they still focus on the present, doing their favorite activities together. Another user claimed that having no children within two years of their marriage, and pressure from relatives to have one, became a struggle. "We were constantly bickering with each other.

Then one afternoon everything changed when preg results turned out positive. Fast forward 17 years and two amazing kids later, we’re still going strong," they added.

For some, it was when their partner began lying and keeping secrets. "Lying. No other partner but lying about work and hanging out elsewhere and not telling me. I told my other half they can decide between those friends they’re with that night or me. I’ll respect their decision and walk away if that’s their choice. They chose to stay.

We worked it out. It was a rough couple of months," a netizen admitted. Others shared that it was when they had to get along with their partner's family members, especially when they got involved in the couple's problems and decisions. "Reading some of these comments makes me glad to feel that I’m divorced and thriving," a netizen concluded.

This discussion demonstrates that no marriage is completely immune to crisis – financial strains, family issues, and unexpected challenges may come their way. However, while not every couple survives the storm, there are stories that show lasting relationships are held together by the shared willingness to communicate, rebuild trust, and choose each other when times get tough.
