Ex- long term GF...we broke up 6 months ( or less), after she moved in. We were fine for 5 years not living together. Big shifts were happening in my life at the exact same time too, which had a large impact, I suspect.

Hi buddy,
I think that we are not alone. I was raised to be a husband and provider. This work ethic is hard but necessary as our contribution to our family and our careers. My dad really impressed on me a strong work ethic.
I am a biologist, I work hard for what cannot protect it's self the evironment and endangered species.
I am a career guy and that means that my loved ones may not see me as much as they want and when they do I may be exhausted.
I am sorry for your loss. I have experienced that too.
