Maria, your thoughts about retreating are not weird at all, don't ever think that.
You had that time for a reason,it may have only been for a season so to speak, or it may not have been, time will tell.
Hold onto it, lock it away in your heart it will give you the strength that you will need to find your way.

Have strength and don't give up your right to be in a loving and passionate relationship because the road to it is full of pot holes.
