And I might be wrong but he doesn’t sound like a person you can amicably separate in the same household and peacefully discuss you considering divorce. I don’t see it’s happening. In those circumstances what you are doing is the only safe option
You're right, and thanks Divine.

No, this wouldn't be amicable if I told him now. Not at all. It would become a living nightmare for the next 10-12 months. I know I could not endure that.

I do think it's for the best, for my own sake and his, that I don't tell him until it's time.

Other people online are telling me he doesn't need to know... the justification also being that he helped to create this nightmare for me that I am living in right now, so why should I make it even worse for myself than it already is? I like that reasoning.

And I am already living in hell right now.
