Am I wrong to feel guilty?

So to add some context. My in the process ex-wife moved our children out of state without joint decision thus causing our divorce to start. Fast forward to now our divorce is slowly moving along and she has remained in Texas but I have obtained custody of the children via a temporary custody order. My ex wife is a good mom and she loves our kids. She has willfully refused to move back to our home state of Arkansas despite travel restrictions on the children due to school. Is it normal for me to feel guilty for the fact the kids have a reduced parent time with their mother? Or am I over thinking this?

I don't want a divorce but she does

I am about to be going through a divorce. She wants this but I want to reconcile and stay together. I love her very much and will admit I wasn't the best husband. I doubt there is anything I can do to save our marriage at this point. Asking for a women's perspective on this issue if anyone is interested in hearing me out and possibly lending some advise I would appreciate it.

Wife wants to take kids to a different state

So as my title states my wife wants to move with the kids to a different state more then 12 hours from me. We have live together in one house for 6 years and my children are rooted in our current state. She is arguing her family is more important to the kids then their roots they put down as a family together. Is she right or am I in the right thinking they should stay where they grew up? We do not have a custody arrangement set up and are just starting the whole divorce process. I know judges tend to try and keep the children close to the parents but if she pushes to move the kids is there anything I can do? Asking for past experiences and knowledge on how to proceed.

Going through a nasty divorce

So to add a little bit of context to the title. Going through what will be a really nasty divorce custody battle and all the fun things involved. I am trying to get my head around I wont have my wife of ten years anymore and the pure dismay about everything is killing me. I will preface it's totally deserved for us to be getting a divorce. I was not a good husband I worked on the road our entire marriage and was not emotionally available a lot of the times. I don't blame her for wanting to leave and I already asked to see if we could fix things and she doesn't want to. I am accepting of this not happy but accepting. The end all question I guess for all this am I right to be jealous that she is going to be with another man in the future even if nothing is happening right now?
