When she feels she has had enough is the right time to give up on relationship.

Most people know in their heart when the relationship is over and there is no time line on it. If her husband is not being cooperative then she needs to find out why or maybe they need to try some counseling. If they have exhausted all avenues and things are still not working then maybe it is time to end it. But it is something the two of them need to discuss and work through for Harmony of the family and children. Divorce is hard enough without using children to get what you want. Best of luck.

Taking into consideration the children, I'd say that when things start to affect them negatively, it's time to call it quits. Obviously the husband/father isn't as invested in the relationship as the wife/mother and so it would be to the benefit of the children to be removed from such a situation. Single parenting is tough, but it can be done, and perhaps realizing just what he's loosing by his lack of cooperation will prod him to do something to change his ways.

Assuming you have children, you must go to a therapist and sort out your expectations and desires. Marriage counseling is only good if your husband will cooperate. Every marriage has its ups and downs but remember a spouse will only do what they are allowed to get away with. Confront him and be strong but make sure you prepare yourself first. I find that writing a letter to my husband is a good way to get my thoughts together without "body language" and emotions. It also gives me time to organize my thoughts and to really reflect on what I really do want. I write my letter, read it over for a few days, change wording and really be confident I am saying what I really want to say before I give it to him. When the letter is really ready, I give it to him when I know we are not going to see each other for a few hours. That gives him time to really think about it. Men either fight or flee initially but they will think if given time.
Good Luck

quite a differcult question,as i think its personal to the individual.
i personally stayed with my childrens father for a long as i could ,for the kids ,but in the end i knew i coulnt stomach any more unhappiness,i knew i didnt fancy him.i knew that i couldnt see us growing old together.i still cared about what happened to him but that was a sense of duty,such as what you would feel for any family member.but my partner was not prepared to change,and really why should he,so we called it a day.
i would say to you does the good outweigh the bad,if it does stay,if not leave .be honest and trust ur gut reaaction .its scary leaving a long term relationship,but there is life afterwars beleive me :)

actually need more details on the relationship and what you feel are the problems but offhand I'd say if the the love is gone, cut your losses and call it quits!

When she knows he's not willing to make things work and has no interest in giving the marriage his all.

I believe marriage is to be enjoyed rather to be endured. if you feel so convinced that there is no more a way to make him to be
corporative,and that he no longer feel anything for you and see you as a burden,then ,i think its time for you to kick his butt.
