To be clear, I'm perfectly happy(?) to help give her a solid foundation to start the new life she feels she needs. I want her to be able to be successful and feel fulfilled, etc... However, I'm losing almost everything I've built up as my "life" (house, marriage, dog, 1/2 our friends, my best friend/wife, will likely have to move somewhere with a much lower cost of living, etc...), and it feels like I'm also losing my freedom or ability to build a new life for the next 8 years (unable to quit, working 60 hours a week and taking home a fraction of what I'm earning, etc...).

It seems odd that you owe the actual cash money. Are you %100 sure about that? 50/50 is not related to the value of the shares but the shares themselves.
In this case (you don't owe any cash), even splitting your shares in half might end up in a big pile of cash if your company is really successful.
That sucks though...
