A shared address can outlast the feeling of sharing a life there.

Logistics and closeness come apart more easily than either person expects. Two people can go on managing the same rooms, the same bills, the same shopping, long after the shared life inside them has thinned out. The address hides it, because from outside, and often from inside, the arrangement still looks like the thing it used to be. Practical entanglement is not the same as company.

If you recognise this, it does not have to mean the end of anything. It means the gap is worth saying aloud while it is still describable. Ask for one evening that is not about the household.
