Hi @moodyblue83 - sorry your relationship is not the same as it was before. That is not uncommon. Things change, people change as they get older. I think people have to look at how long they are with a person and if there are children involved. I have found that most of the time when I pick another relationship in earlier years, I did not do better in the long run. It is a personal choice.

Here are some reasons some people stay together after the romance.
Expenses. Nowadays apartments can be $2000 a month. Check it out in your area, but with rising home values, taxes are going up and landlords raise the rents. A house can cost a lot less.

Convenience. Moving stinks. Having to pack everything up is a drag

Emotions. No matter how lifeless things seem, breaking up can be strong emotions

Regret. After moving out reuniting is not likely. So what if it is a lot worse? These kind of questions can bring doubt.

In the end it is your choice to make but better to discuss living apart before you pull up roots and see if that is what they want to. Hurting another person causes guilt and so for me harming no one including myself is important.

Hope you get the support you are looking for. @CANDC
