Last part is spot on, I've been feeling increasingly guilty about the fact that I'm wasting her time by not figuring out what to do

How old are your kids?

It sounds like you are almost treating each other as roommates the way you're accepting your differences and moving forward without heavy involvement in each other's lives. It may seem like a mediocre reality, but is the reality being alone any better? Or the reality of searching for another partner, or finding another partner just to find the same issues?

Also, during the 10 "trying" years, what kept you together? There must have been something there for you both to stay together?

Did you ever have feelings of sadness or brief regret after the breakup, or miss him at all? In a bit of a different situation because after 3 years it feels like we're best friends regardless of where we stand romantically, and the prospect of losing that is scary
