Living with ex over school holidays - feelings involved

Hi guys,

Me and my partner of 10 years spilt up at the end of July. She ended as doesn't love me or have feelings for me anyone. We agreed that I'd stay over the school holidays.
I still have feelings for her and have hugged her around 3 times and each time she feels lifeless and like her soul has left her body. I've told her countless times that I love her and we should make this work. She has her mindset!
Should I completely back off for the remaining time we're living together? She's not going to change her mind right?
All her benefits have been put in place and I feel redundant....

So she just wanted to see how far she could push me.... Sex never happened.

It's not just for the kids. There's been flirting, sexual activity and all that stuff going on between you.
That is NOT in the kids best interests.

You both need to move on . You both can have a separate relationship with the children . It doesn’t need to be at her house.

What if I want to see if anything happens next time?

It's clear to everyone that you want to see what happens the next time!!

It's also clear she just wanted an ego boost.
Women who have kids with a man do not risk losing that man if they love or want them properly.
You have been split up for a year at this point.
She wanted an ego boost for whatever reason. You gave her that ego boost. That's all.

Then do it. And don't complain after. You've been warned. You both deserve each other

Honestly it sounds like playground relationship .

She has been clear she doesn’t want you . She gave you nothing . Yet you linger wanting something - it’s no attractive - move on - from her not the kids.
