Maybe it would be best for my kids if -- after the divorce -- I can carry on w/ my wife as best friends, stopping at all hours to spend time with kids and help with childcare, and she does so vice versa. I think my wife would be OK with that, since she's the one that has lost her romantic feelings for me.
I can't do that.
What you wrote just clicked with me...I think that's what my W wants...us to be best friends (with benefits)...with a lot of fluidity regarding custody...and a lot of family time...but not be married...need to think about that...
If you can't do that...then you can't do that...does your W know that you can't do that? Is that a point of conflict in your negotiation?
