I'm with Sandy on this ^^^. Allowing yourself to be strung along is no way to grab hold of your future. Life continues its countdown and what will you do when it is over? Reflect and regret that things didn't work out? Or, celebrate finding your true happiness?
The WAS that continues to lead on the other partner is doing so for selfish reasons. One of which might be feeling sorry for the other person and hoping, wishing actually, that the other would simply move on. To say that they are doing it for the kids is BS. Maybe there is a slice of truth there but if it truly was for the kids, then why not work on the marriage?
You will eventually get to the place where you throw up your hands and truly move on. The question is how long is it going to take you to get there? When will you get tired of being tired and start living again?
Only you know the answer.
