Maybe he is sad, but you need to not lose sight of knowing how good he is at manipulating you and making you feel guilty. Do you think that manipulation could be behind what he is saying, even a little bit? If he really does love you he will sincerely want you to be happy, and you are not happy in this marriage because he is emotionally abusive. Someone who truly loves you will not try to make you feel guilty for finally standing up for your needs.
