I went through this almost 10 years ago. Pretty amicable situation but we had been together 21+ and had two kids, 14 and 16 at the time. My ex is a great Mom and we've worked hard to put the kids first and co parent and by all accounts we've done a great job. Something I'm very proud of. I'm sorry to see you and others have to go down this road. It will get better. I married very young and have taken the last several years to date, get to know myself, etc. I finally found someone who is amazing and was married in January. Life if bright, hopeful and my kids remind my ex and I all the time how much they appreciate the fact we have stayed friends and made them a priority. They are old enough now to see most don't go that way. Best of luck, I know we don't know each other personally but I truly believe you can and will be happy again!
