It is good to find support and outlets outside of the relationship. However, if you find you are not listenining to each other, hurting each other, etc. and can't find a way to manage it together in a healthy way, it might be worth seeking the assistance of couples counselor. That neutral third party can sometimes help with perspective and provide tools for better communication. Just a thought if it is possible.
