I'm really sorry. :(
But like you said, marriage is a group effort, and you can't force him to stay with you. Not that you are but I'm just saying...
I'm sorry. :(
Oh Mip. I can't really say that I know what you're going through but I had the similar relationship with an Ex of mine. I was moving on up with a job, my own place, my own car and he didn't want to be left out and he didn't want to move on up with me, by having a job a car etc.... And for him not doing his boyfriend duties. A friend of mine did. And I guess he saw that as an open opportunity... Well... moving forward a few pages. I told him I didn't love him anymore. I love him like I loved my brother. He was hurt but it's just that he wasn't motivated to move forward in life and I was.
But I am not, at all, saying that it's your fault. Some guys just have a reason to act flaky in marriages/ relationships. Perhaps a separation is a good thing. It would probably determine if he's really in this marriage for you and him... or if he's regretting everything he's made. And after everything's said and done you might see him as he really is and not who you pictured him to be.
He should be mindful though, he's not divorced just separated... I don't want to worry you or anything but when things turn out like this I always have a feeling that He's going to end up doing something that will completely piss you off and loose faith in him and he'll regret it for the rest of his life... I should know... because it had happened to me.
With that being said and done, why don't you go out on friday with some of your female friends and "paint the town red"... it'll take your mind of this crazy foolishness you're husband has thrown at you.
@Aaru: I absolutely will. I'm gonna head out with some girlfriends of mine this weekend for a night on the town. And I understand his side, that he is not happy, and that's why I'm not too upset over this, because to have a good marriage, both parties have to be happy, not just me.

@Mip: you go girl lol. seriously, something like this does hurt but it's nothing to fret for. No man, and I mean, no man is worth cry or even loosing your hair over. Men come and Men go, nothing last forever. ♥
if u plan to live together again, make sure you to have separate rooms, 1 for each of you. privacy thing and stress reliever (like when you are having a conflict u will be able to get away from eachother without having to leave the house.
Not that i know what im talking about, just a random thot. good luck :D
