Being dominus litus (master of litigation) you may withdraw your case at any time.

There's no pressure on you to continue the cases filed by you.

If you feel that it will not be possible for you to continue them anymore you may file a petition with your reasons to withdraw the cases filed by you.

If you have been living separately without any contacts between you both from the year 1995, it's a separation for almost three decades hence the maintainability of proposed DV case is in doubt
