Sorry, I didn't see your post until afterwards.

A seperation within the home will not work well. Again, he cannot handle rejection. He's emotional and cries. I've seen him taking his deep breaths the other day because he convinced himself I was taking my break to get away from him.. and it was true. I was having breathing difficulties from the scenario that played out. He says he feels lonely and rejected. It's not wrong. Of course I've distanced myself.

I have to give into his needs because we have children and it keeps the peace.. until I'm in a better situation.
