How do you deal when 1 person is still in love but the other one isn’t and hasn’t felt anything for a long time? Just trying to act like everything is ok for the kids. would you stay and keep acting like everything is fine until the kids got older or would you approach the subject and maybe leave because you would be happier?

I would never forgive my partner if he stayed knowing he didn't love me. Knowing he'd robbed me of the freedom to find real love for so many years of my life.
I'd also expect him to be damned sure because if he left and realised he did after all, there would be no mulligan.
I feel the same, I’d hate someone to stay with me if they didn’t love me.
I also feel like it’s kind of narcissistic that they think they are so special I wouldn’t cope with out them.
If you're just bored, know this will happen in every relationship you have. No relationship stays exciting. When the boredom sets in is when you double down, relationships take work. Love is a verb and you get out what you put in. Good luck.
Leave. I was the child in a "stay together for the kids" marriage and it was fucking awful.
There were no fights or anything, just cold war and sulking in separate rooms.
I don't care how old your kids are, they know.
End it & get it over with so you can both move on.
