Yes. We’ve had a really rough trot though. We lost our only child and then subsequently have been going through 5+ years of infertility trying to have another. I think anyone with BIG TRAUMA like that are going to have a lot more to work through with their partner than the average person - which in turn leads to doubts. I think that also includes ppl who had those traumas before even meeting their partner. The important thing though is that at the end of the day we always come back together and know we love one another. Sometimes it’s just hard work to do so.
I hope that answer gives you a realistic insight into the fact that you can have a great relationship but even diamonds can crack under pressure.

I’m so sorry you’ve gone through this. I think anyone (or relationship) in your shoes would also be dealing with a very realistic struggle. The fact you guys are able to keep coming back together speaks volumes about your relationship’s strength and foundation.
To answer OP, no I have yet to experience doubts so far in the relationship. But we also have not had kids yet or gone through anything I would classify as overtly traumatic together yet. We also only just got married less than a year ago
