Trying to reframe a real event into a working piece of fiction is more challenging than making something up from scratch. And trying to judge whether you've adequately transmitted the true feelings of a situation you've been through is nigh on impossible. Hopefully, though, the impact is there.
Relationships are not linear. Things can happen at any point to unsettle them, or make them stronger. Maintenance of the basics, though, is key, and if that maintenance is foregone, for whatever reason, it's more problematic if pressure comes to bear.
