I am sorry to read this update man. I wish I would have seen this sooner, I imagine last night was a long night.
My first thought is if this is how she really thinks, then do you really want someone like that? Who could leave this easily?
My second thought is: Believe nothing she says and only half of what she does!!!!! There's also a reason she didn't tell the grownups.
My W told lots of people that this was over. She told people more than once. And guess what, and you probably already know this, but the more someone talks about something and feels the need to say it, the less confident they are in their position. My W changed her mind if you didn't know.
You talking about filing yourself is an emotional reaction to all this pain. I definitely get it, but I don't think it's what you want. If it was what your W wanted then she's had well over a month since her declaration to send papers yet here you are!
You control you. Attitude --- thoughts ---- actions --- feelings. You control every step that leads up to you feeling happy. Are you going to wallow in hurt forever or can you turn this around?
In DR, have you read about the Stop Sign Technique? It served me well.
You live up in the big city! We had a member up there who patched things up when I first got here. You have things to do that I don't in suburban STL (Don't get me wrong, it's still way better here). Kidding aside, take advantage of the offerings in your area.
This video helped me a lot:

It is not things that bother us, but the stories we tell ourselves about things.
