I have been looking for a good opportunity for almost 2.5 years now. Funny how things go, but this opportunity (with ownership stake) just came up a month ago. Discussions are moving along, but I can't do anything with this MR issue as I wouldn't want to give her any rights, nor would I put my partner at risk getting involved in this.
I faced the same situation, I was offered a partnership in my firm. It is EXACTLY why I pushed the D through. I can't tell you what to do, but I can say that personally when faced with the same situation divorce was the only reasonable answer.

Do I do this and hope that along the way she realizes and changes her mind?
No, if you do it then do it because it's what's right for YOU. It likely will not bring her back.

Do I just grab the reins, push forward and make the D happen? Or do I just sit, practice DB and wait?
Financially, this could open the door back to where my kids and myself would be in a way better place.
I think you already answered your question. Your W is out of the picture, so what is best for YOU and your KIDS?
