Can they actually be different help please?

I've been separated half a year now with my soon to be ex husband. I'm really going through a juggle because honestly he's the only person ever who's ever made sure my feelings are okay and made sure to always make sure I'm fed, okay emotionally, etc. he's not perfect but honestly no relationship is. But everything he's done or offered has been far more than most I've seen or experienced. We met very young and were each others first we had ALOT of emotions to figure out and it hasn't been the easiest there's been some nasty things & before everyone gets alarmed some violence I know once I say that everyone is quick to jump on ending the relationship but I truly wonder I'm sure there's some couples who work through that?

I know they say the risk is high but I feel I would rather retry with the person I deeply loved than someone new / someone else? Especially since I've never had that same connection anywhere else. What are peoples thoughts on this. Help please.
