Per my Husband....

Your man is probably feeling like a failure and not worth the dirt he walks up on, for he is no longer capable of caring for & financially supporting his family (a male thing in his mind).
He is falling into a bottomless pit due to the despair that is now growing inside of him and he does not want his loved ones to suffered this degrading demise with him.... hence WHY he is doing the only thing he can, as a male, Push those that he cares for away, as to protect them and to hide them from his humiliation (if only in his mind).
