I am so sorry your marriage is ending.

People have given you fairly good advise here so I am going to give you some emotional advise. Do nothing permanent for one year after every thing is finalized. Two would be better.

Don't buy a house, sailboat or remarry. Settle into being YOU solo. Get to know yourself and what you want. You have spent a long time being in a team, there are things you will automatically do because that was the way she wanted them. What you actually want can be very different.

Best of luck my FRiend.

I second this advise. My first marriage lasted only 6 years and for the year after my divorce, my students (I was teaching High School math then) all suffered a one grade deficit until I got back to being myself. I looked back over the grades I gave and realized that I was not teaching very well, and must have been really tough on the kids. But you do get over it and then life seems OK again.
