[quote=Anonymous]I live at her house 2/3 of the time, but the 1/3 of the time when we live near each other and are together in the evenings is crucial to keeping the magic strong.  She gets her house back in those periods and starts missing me sleeping next to her and bringing her coffee and breakfast in bed every morning.  Her former husband is older — I am five years younger — we have no heavy responsibilities or stresses at this stage in life, so we’re just enjoying the land of milk and honey/days of wine and roses, and she has a shiny new partner with far fewer miles on his odometer.

If I was constantly at her place I think we would eventually develop resentments.  She has a moderately demanding hobby job, and I’m retired.  She lived alone in her house for years, and it’s just never pristine the way she likes it when I’m there with my stuff.  But she absolutely would rather be there than at my (beautiful-but-too-rustic-for-her-tastes) place.

With my ex, our marriage had devolved into a bickering-roommates/nearly-loveless slog, and she did me a huge favor by insisting on ending it.[/quote]
