He might get divorced. But it won't all of a sudden make him a nice person. The fact that you are willing to excuse inexcusable behavior is concerning. What does it teach your daughter: it's so important to have a man so it's no matter how he treats others?

I don't think you see the true issue. It's not him being separated or not, it's him lying and now not returning your things etc his lousy behavior is an issue. But you want him in your life so much that you are willing to put up with this.

You said you grew up in dysfunction ( many of us did) and that's why you excuse all this but now your daughter is observing dysfunction and will also think it's ok. She already knows that mom has this guy who wouldn't return her phone and mom is still rooting for him so it must be ok to let men behave this way. You don't want her to live this way do you?
