Worried about husband

So I’ve told my husband tonight that I’m no longer in love with him like a wife should be, it’s not a complete shock as things have been rocky for a good while now. I’m really worried about him he’s devastated and not took it well at all.
Has anyone been through this we’re it was one sided and husband/wife took it really badly? I need reassurance that he’ll be ok and things will work out, I feel so guilty and anxious. Any positive stories further down the line please? Sad

It’s going to take time. He’s got to process it and let it sink in. He’s likely to be angry/upset etc, it’s natural.

Sorry, posted too soon, but he will come through it eventually. Might it be kinder to leave? Stay elsewhere for now?

Me leave?
It’s tricky because we have 2 children both special needs, im there carer and he works full time...

I’m the reverse. About a month ago I told my wife I no longer loved her and that I wanted to separate. The marriage (25 years) has been difficult for years and although there had been good times it had all become too much for me.
There is nobody else.
This has been the situation since May when my wife said we were finished. It took me since then to build up courage to get things going.
My wife is incredibly angry at me for ‘destroying our family’, the kids are 24/21.
Expect anger and toxicity. It seems like it goes on forever. I sleep in the spare room and have been looking at flats to rent. 10 minutes ago I received two texts from my wife adding that she had moved all my stuff in the spare room and that she had printed off flat details with immediate entry.
She isn’t being helpful btw, this is pure anger.
Expect all this. But remember you are not alone, there are literally 1000’s going through the same thing. A solicitor will have dozens of similar cases.
Most importantly- remember why you are doing it.

I decided to divorce my husband having been unhappy for 18 months and after I descovered he'd run up loads of debts and stolen from our joint account.
Anyway that was in May and we have been living together since trying to get the process to a conclusion. It's like pulling teeth. Six months in and we are still in separate rooms and don't talk unless about kids. We have a nisi now and putting house for sale in Jan. What I will say it the anger hurt has begun to go and we just live quite in limbo with the occasional argument it's very very very hard living with an ex. Try as above poster said to focus on the reason for the split and start planning your future it's like walking through mud but you will get out if you keep going xx

Have you considered having couples therapy? I'm just thinking, it sounds like a bloody difficult situation if you're looking after two kids with SEN and he's working full time, no wonder things have been difficult and have probably fallen into an unhelpful pattern. Is there any hope of salvaging something if you could communicate?
