W acted normal the whole time and even admitted how well she lied to me, her family and friends so she could leave me.
She should be so proud.
Buddy, the most important thing is control what you can control. It certainly isn't her, so don't stress it. You can control how you choose to handle this. You can be a great dad, there for your kids, strong, confident, courageous, and seemingly on top of things, or you can be a whimpering pile of blubbering flesh that is pining away for his wife and showing your kids a broken man. Don't worry, the fairy tale will end for your wife, and she's no spring chicken. Don't spend time thinking about how you'll be waiting with open arms, just move forward with your life and worry about that if it should ever come to that. You can't control whether that time ever comes or not.
You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with. Dr. Wayne Dyer
