Splitting up

As previous posts I feel we are finally splitting up. My husband can't move out until lockdown over. I said to try marriage guidance because I wanted to see what a third party thought of my husband having 80grand in bank and not telling me and saying horrible things to me when I caught on and refused to tell me. I guess I'm upset that he called me fucking nosey, a schemer and that I was ruining the marriage. Told me had secrets that were not my concern. It's been bad on and off for years but this was final straw. I am worried as have 5 children. I said about marriage guidance again. We haven't been since lockdown but he offers web sessions. My husband said no point as I told him I feel different about him after what's happened. He keeps saying he has worked hard all his life and will now lose it all. I can't help feel guilty but he has spoken to me like shit for years but never takes blame or says sorry. So hard

All I can say is if he is just worried about the impact to him, try to ignore it. He messed up and you have tried to give him chance to resolve. But make sure everyone knows the truth before he twists it. I apparently stole my son's entitlement when I got a divorce settlement. He hates me as a result...

Honestly he will never change...sounds just like my father! Growing up in that kind household was toxic. I really feel he is guilt tripping you and nobody has any right to speak to you badly in your own home! It's emotional abuse and coercive control...x

is he worried when you both split, you'll take a big chunk of his money? I wouldn't give a donkey about someone like that... you just need to work out how he's going to do his share of child care

I know . He always says how he pays for mortgage and bills. I do some work from home. I was offered a job from my old boss to clear checks for nhs volunteers and he said how can I keep on top of house while working. I said we can pull together and he didn't like it . My previous post explain alot. I have tried but I am still in shock te the large amount of money I had no idea about x
