So how would a possible chart of that kind of relationship even look like? It can’t be too good, since there was a long term separation. It can’t be too bad either, or else they wouldn’t return to each other.

Btw I’ m not talking about relationships where someone breaks up for a couple of months then resumes the relationship. I’m talking about real separations.

When I hear stories like this I think either strong Uranus (for that sudden, impulsive break) or Saturnian (lessons learned) or a combination of both. Some people just get together too early in life, but come back together at a time where they've both matured and grown into who they are as individuals. I don't think it's always the "hearts and flowers" type of romance either, rather it is two people who grew to understand the work it takes to maintain a relationship and are now willing to put in that work to keep the love alive. A strong basis of friendship helps with this too I think, because the two people genuinely enjoy just being with each other without the pressure to "be anything" other than themselves. Sometimes too it's purely situational...when two people find themselves in the same boat (divorced with children for instance) suddenly they have that basis of commonality and take on the ensuing challenges together.
