I'm probably heading for divorce... I feel so empty

There is a chance it won't happen, but most likely will. I feel like I lost my confidant, my one safe space. And I cry every time I think about the days I wouldn't see my kids. If it happens we agreed to 50/50, but I've never gone without my kids for more than a night. She said she doesn't know what she wants, that she still loves me, but I feel like I lost my best friend. And I'm worried my kids will drift away from me. I could lose everything.

Logically I know things should work out, but it sure doesn't feel that way.

I can't really comment, because I don't know enough about your situation. My divorce was 19 years ago this month. Whatever it is, you'll get through it. Like you, I married my "best friend" too, didn't mean jack shit in the end. She became a mortal enemy. I hung in there for about 6 months, got nothing for the effort except "I want out!", so one day I gave her what she was asking for and never looked back .

Things suck now, but....you're getting your life back. And you have no idea what's on the other side. You're not ready to hear this now, but....you might end up happier than you were when everything was good with her. I know I am, and I'm ready to walk down the aisle again.
