Hey 2stubborn2quit, IMO, if you have kids you need to try to hand in there for them to have a chance to have their parents together with them. If you loved your W at one point it's likely that she loved you too so that can happen again. Love isn't a mysterious thing, it happens when the two of you spend time together, share common interests etc. If you're like me, you focused a lot of energy on things outside your marriage (work etc) and the kids and not on each other.

I don't know your situation but based on my own this has easily been the hardest time of my life. Hanging in and giving her time can be brutal but if you quit now I'd say you need to be 100% sure or you may have regrets for the rest of your life. It sounds like your W is confused on what she wants so there may be hope for a better future.
