"Although Kim and Kanye have been separated for months, it was still emotional for Kim to actually file for divorce," the source says. "She spent the weekend taking care of herself and her kids.

The source adds that the SKIMS founder is feeling "disappointed" that she and West couldn't make their marriage work.
"There is no drama between Kim and Kanye. Kim is mostly just disappointed that they couldn't figure out how to stay married," says the source.
"But it takes two people to create a happy marriage," the source says. "Kim has felt Kanye is not willing to do the hard work and compromise."

The split between Kardashian and West comes after a tumultuous period for the pair, who appeared to be on the brink of divorce last summer before reconnecting and spending private time together with their children.
But in January, multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE that Kardashian had been working with high-profile divorce attorney Laura Wasser and planned to file for divorce.
"They are just not on the same page when it comes to their future as a family," one insider said at the time. "And Kim is okay with it."

"He knew it was coming, but that doesn't make it any easier," the source said at the time. "This is a somber day for him."
"Kanye is seeing counselors and advisors to help him through this spot. It's rough for him, and he isn't happy, but he's resigned to reality," the insider continued.
