What does "hit a rough patch" mean? Does it mean that they had a quarrel?
Gaga and her on-and-off boyfriend, Carl, were seen together at her CFDA Awards after-party. They reportedly hit a two-week rough patch that led to their breakup. _________________ Hiromichi |

It certainly can mean that they had a quarrel - or more correctly, a series of quarrels. A rough patch is a period of time when things don't go according to plan or a situation/relationship becomes negative.
Hope this helps.
