Have you ever loved and cared about someone but you no longer wanted to be with them?

I know most long term relationships the passion and romance usually dies down or fades away. when you been with someone for so long , you care about them and love them , but you realize you really don’t have the connection and chemistry like you use to have with them before you don’t want to cheat on them but sometimes you feel like you do , and you don’t want to hurt them but sometimes you feel like you don’t care if you do or don’t. Do you think it’s best to just stay with them and hope things eventually get better? or is it best to just part your ways and go live your life the way you want it to be? I tried giving my ex wife another Chance , I still love her and care about her she is the mother of my children and we have a long history together , but sadly I don’t feel the connection and chemistry like we use to have any more , I know she loves me , even though we have our differences , she has been very sweet and loving to me but I feel I can’t give her back the same , like she deserves , I told her I want her to be happy and that I am ok if she meets someone else , I told her I still want to date other girls as well and she said she understands because she knows she hurt me , but she isn’t leaving my side , I know if I meet another girl she will be devastated, Why isn’t she giving up on me? Am I wrong to be open to meeting another girl? Is it cheating if I do? When I clearly told her I can’t give her the love she deserves. and that I want to date other girls’ still? Why would she stay by my side?
