Long term break up

[amcman]

My partner and I have just agreed to have a break. We met and I moved in straight away. We love each other but we never had the chance to be a couple. After 6 years 3 children. And she's about to start a new job. There is so much more to this but it would take me about a week to explain.

My husband and I have been married 12 years with three children, I had one from previous when I met him. We have only had about 4 evenings out or time on our own in that whole time. We have no family to babysit, but it doesnt affect our relationship.

I don't understand how you'll suddenly be able to "date" after you move out if you don't have any babysitters or support.

Our parents are now prepared to help. But it feels a bit like the beginning of the end. I feel very confused myself. Part of me wants to move out but part of me wants to carry on. My partner has just started a new job and has to go away for 2 days. Everything is organised but i have been totally left out.
