"you can love your partner, but hate the life you share together."
here is my opinion on this:
loving someone is not reason enough to stay together. sometimes a reason for breaking up with someone is not because you hate them, but because you love them enough to realize the life you share may not be what's best for one another.
i feel that you're allowed to be selfish. if you realize that the life you share with your partner is not a life you enjoy, regardless of how much they enjoy the life you both share, it is not fair to yourself to suffer in order to keep the other person happy.
if one half of the relationship isn't happy, the other half will inevitably suffer. if the other truly loves you, they would understand your decision to separate.
