I have been with my partner for 5 yrs,but in the last 2 yrs we have argued like hell, & have not spoken sometimes for up to a month (she would start this behaviour & I would then let it run hoping that she would stop). The arguements got more intense because my dad had been ill wth lung liver & kidney cancer & then died 18 months ago. I was very stressed during this time & altho it is no excuse it put a lot of strain on me.
Then she told me she needed space but didn't want me to move out. She didn't want to break up & we sleeep in the same bed, but she doesn't want me to touch her.
She got drunk tonight & told me that she has felt very hurt mentally & emotionally by the things I said when we argued. I said a lot of horrible things which I didn't mean but they came out with my anger.
She told me that there were many times when she got hit on during this time, but she never acted on it as she hoped we could save the relationship. She still hopes we can save the relationship.
My question is this: How can I save this,relationship, & what can I do to to show her that I love her with all my heart & soul again?
