I went from being my partner’s life, with all the stress for me, and jealousy/insecurity for her, to a relationship where each or us have our own lives but choose to share them.

When we make mistakes,we talk it out and say sorry. Also she helps me clean the house and understands that I have a disability (bad case of arthritis).

My ex wife used to hit me or threaten me to beat me up all the time, always made a mess of the house and never cleaned after herself. I used to find moldy plates with some food on them below the bed, next to the toilet, below tables, etc).
