Could you translate this sentence? - It's the line from the movie titled "Song For Marion"
The old woman (Marion) said to his husband, "From the time you came scruffing into my life, so gloomy.
I knew what I was letting myself in for. You're my rock."
Does it mean that her husband came into her life, scruffy and gloomy?
and 'the rock' means anyhow a kind of burden or something positive like a stepping stone?

Answer

Scruffing - are you sure this is the correct word? It isn't a normal English verb

So gloomy - it means that her life was gloomy before the man arrived

'My rock'  - this is very positive. If you say that someone is your rock it means that they are a strong person that you can lean on and rely on - the most important 'anchor' in your life.
