You should arrange a weekend at her end. Have you parents run things while you are away.
Express to her your desires, see if she truly feels the same. Express the frustration of the distance. Mention her mother was hinting for the two of you.
Maybe the two of you alternate or meet in the middle… for 6-12 months. If it seems like the only thing holding back are the businesses then that's easy:
1) she passes it off to her parents
2) she sells it
3) she finds a manager
4) 1&3
5) you do one of the above.
You either wind up with a cash payout or less work.
No matter her situation, her kid, her feelings, someone refusing any solution and THEN saying you're the only one at fault won't bring anything healthy in your life. That's not how life works. She doesn't get to dictate and not letting you any space, and honestly, her calling back crying was just a guilt trip. Block her and move on.
I say you stick it out and see where it goes. If it doesn’t work out later, that’s when you divorce.

It isn't, this sub has insane double standards
If the roles were reversed then op would be controlling, manipulative and toxic but she's a woman so she just has standards
