I've so been there. Right now, actually.
Over at Michael Chabon's website, there's a nice essay about how he spent five years on a novel called Fountain City, which never materialized. This sounds like me right now. Like, a lot.
The lesson I'm taking away from this is a reassurance that good stories tell themselves, and if the two novels I have in the works are albatrosses, I should go back to square one and try something else. Hmmm.
