The answer

It is recommended to be deliberate and reflective about the relationship after two years of not completing the marriage, as the reason is often exceeding the limits of in communication without a valid marriage contract. It is advised to repent and start a new chapter based on Sharia and reason, not emotion. One must dispense with creation for the Creator, as that brings happiness, while attachment to other than Allah is humiliation. If the girl agrees, let it be a lesson to eliminate disagreements, and if she refuses, let it be a source of reassurance, for Allah has kept away from you the evil of a relationship in which there is no comfort. Allah Almighty says: (But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you know not). Do not grieve over what you have missed, for Allah created the heart capable of loving always. Anyone can do without anyone else. Allah Almighty says: (But if they separate [by divorce], Allah will enrich each of them from His abundance. And Allah is ever encompassing and wise).
