She also questioned me if I was holding on to hope and raised that any work i was doing on myself or changes should not be for her.
I just responded I'm aware of that.

She's not stupid, she knows I still love her,

How do you answer these types of direct questions?

Do you communicate that you're not giving up on the relationship or that you believe things can be worked through, or does this consolidate a perception of weakness or plan b status?


This is a tough one that I struggle with my own sitch too because as long as you are legally bound by marriage... how much "moving on" can you really do? So until one of you file, you can argue that both of you are still holding on to something or some hope?

You are not stupid either, do you think she still loves you in someway? I think they just want that romantic / attractive love feeling back.

I guess best answer is "I'm making improvements for myself so that I can be better in my next relationship, whoever it may be with" - maybe there's a more concise version of this.
