If he needs support about something he could see a therapist. Typically separated people in the process of divorce do not offer each other support, unless maybe in regards to kids they share, other than that I don’t see how it’s even reasonable to expect “support”. He is a manipulator
Exactly - he can see a therapist, but of course, to date he has yet to get one, despite telling me repeatedly since July that he will do anything to keep us together, including getting his own therapist. Has he yet? NO. He wants ME to take care of him instead - he wants a mother, not a partner.

And yes, he's trying every manipulative tactic he can think of to wear me down and get me to speak with him. It's not working.
