Mines been doing the same thing for almost 3 hours now. How did you get your transaction refunded or sent into the mempool?

There are currently a lot of unconfirmed transactions on the network, so much so that many nodes have reached their configured maximum mempool size. Nodes that have hit this limit have started removing transactions from their mempools and increasing the minimum fee rate required in order to be added to that node's mempool and be relayed to other nodes it is connected to.

Given that this is the current situation, it is likely that your transaction does not pay a high enough fee rate to be added to many nodes' mempools, so it is not propagating around the network.
