<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

So I've been with X for 4 years and recently I've been thinking about my future a lot... and my possible future with her. We were young when we got together and I was pretty besotted for the first couple of months.

However there has always been issues in our relationship - differences of opinions on life values, political views etc. Stuff that isn't such a big deal when you're younger but is as you get older. 

We broke up for a month or two after 2 years and I often wonder if we should have stayed apart or not. I feel like the life I want is different than the life she wants and that neither of us will ever be truly happy if we live how the other wants to live. At the same time I love her and want to see her have a happy life and I couldn't bear hurting her. But most of the time I feel like I just want to be friends and nothing more.

Any advice reddit? The issues we differ on, we've talked about plenty. In the past we used to get into big fights where we'd both say hurtful things to each other. But the last year or two, we've avoided conflict by not really addressing the issues.
