> How was the relationship? Did you feel like the first 6–12 months were perfect, but then you started drifting apart and having arguments every week or two?

Not OP, but in a somewhat similar boat. Please don't assume they broke up. For example, my partner died.

Solid advice wrt going through grief btw.

> Have you ever felt like you needed to record a conversation you had with your partner?

Just curious what you meant by that?
