This is going to be quite long, TLDR is at the bottom. This my first post here so I apologize if this is not in the right subreddit. I’ve tried to section off this post so you can scroll to where you like. These events are true to the best of my knowledge, and names have been changed.

Background:
My then fiancée and I had purchased a house, first amongst our family and circle of friends…. I guess the stresses of new home ownership got to us a few months in and let’s just say ended up with a big riff in the relationship which ended up with me catching my fiancee cheating…. alarm bells were going off but for some reason I ignored them (that story is for another day, mostly because it’s painful to recall). Fast forward approx 2-3 years from then, couples therapy, counselling, lots of fighting, communication, tears, etc. and we’ve managed to patch things up and still together (I guess what doesn’t break you makes you stronger?).
