Just wanted to add my comments to this discussion.
Rich and I lived together for about 3 1/2 years
before we split.  I won't go into the particulars
but I moved out for about 1 year.  We kept in contact
but also saw other people.  Well, to make a long year
short, we slowly started "dating" again, I moved back
in, we married 2 years later, and 1 year later we had
a little girl.
This June we will be married 3 years, although we will
be together for 9.  Our relationship is strong; we are
both strongwilled people, (in other words, at times,
stubborn) but we both know what it is like without each
other.  We don't like it.  Although we have our arguments
they are more constructive, versus destructive.
Whenever I get angry about things that Rich does (for
instance the problems that caused our breakup) instead
of harping on them, I remember what it was like without
him, and I shut up!  It works great!

Good luck.

(P.S.  Well, most of the times I shut up!!)
