Let me ask you this though - if you thought something was worth fighting for...if you knew in your heart and I mean really KNEW in your heart and mind that things were worth saving...that there was still something there to build something on - even if the other party involved couldn't see that or didn't want to...would you fight?
Would you fight to save it, or let it go and hope it came back sometime?
Or just let it go...and move on with life.

(Feb 5 07, 16:28)I'd say it's a bit of a gray area in most relationships, but marriage is unique. Regardless of what sort of wedding ceremony you had, there were some vows made that were legally, emotionally and spiritually binding. I say fight until the end, even if she doesn't. It might hurt more, but at least you'll be able to respect yourself at the end of the day.
The only caveat I would give would be if there was repeated infidelity. In my opinion, that behavior renders a marriage covenant null and void. That's just me.
I really, sincerely hope things improve for you Jevad. Even if she doesn't reciprocate, you can focus on putting your best interest aside for hers. I think true manhood is defined by self-sacrifice and steafastness, and those are things you can display until the end. That's the kind of husband I hope to be for my wife, at any rate.
Best,
