BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Phone-in: Dealing with a Relationship Crisis

Jane Garvey hears listeners experiences of dealing with relationship crises.

Jane Garvey presents a phone-in programme on relationship crises, asking listeners when they knew they had a problem, what they did about it, how they coped and what worked.

Today, we're talking about relationship crises - and we want to hear all about your experiences. 

When you hit trouble, how did those difficulties manifest themselves: were you arguing more openly or quietly and resentfully avoiding each other?

What was it that made you both realise you had a problem and what did you decide to do about it? If you went to a counsellor or therapist were you honest about the fact you were going with friends or family - or, did you find it too embarrassing to talk about?

What helped the two of you to solve your problems? And could you, ultimately, overcome your differences, or did you drift apart?

And should couples seek counselling before they hit the inevitable stresses and strains of life together? Or have you found any truth in the old adage that if you go looking for trouble, you will inevitably find it.

You can call us on 03700 100 444 and the lines open at 8am.

Presenter: Jenni Murray
Producer: Ruth Watts.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
