Sorry to know about your situation. If after filing of charge sheet the development in your relationship has lead to offence of section 377 then you may file new FIR and if it doesn't then you need to meticulously draft another complaint under strict supervision of advocate...

There is no time limit as such for lodging of Police Complaint. Despite passing of several years after the committing of Crime Police can lodge Police Complaint and concert it into a FIR if Cognizable Offence had been then committed.

Yes you can file an additional FIR. However you have to substantiate your reasons for the same. If you will not be able to substantiate the reasons then neither Police nor on approaching Court FIR will be filed.
