Shall I call the shots first?

Please read and help me I'm feeling so low and need advice and a general hand hold through this shitty time

Me and DH are struggling at the moment. About a month now and every emotion going I'm feeling so empty and numb. I'm crazy for him and could never ever ever imagining not loving him but he's recently said that he's confused about how he feels and what he wants in the future. That his life isn't how he imagined it would be. He's got the wife and kids that he wanted the family life ......Maybe having a midlife crisis I don't know but one thing he did say was that he feels he's dragged me down to be a person I wasn't when we met and that he wishes I would meet someone who could make me happy and that I would fall in love with. So then he could see me happy Hmm
Now to me that sounds like he wants me to be the bad guy if we were to split up? That I'd be the reason and he would be the victim surely?
I've told him that I will make things easier for him and that If he wants to call it a day then I will ask for a divorce and I won't make it bitter but I can't stand knowing that this one person I care so much for doesn't feel the same towards me.
I've been a mess but my friends have picked me up and I'm feeling strong at the minute. Can't say that I will feel strong when d-day comes and he "confirms" that it's over but for now he just keeps saying that I'm getting ahead of myself and that he wants us to work . Arrrrrrrgh I'm getting so many mixed signals and to be honest I feel like I'm being dangled waiting around for him to make up his mind. I feel like I'm worthless and that if he truly loved me he wouldn't have to wait around to see what he wants.

I don't think I could look at his phone even if it was easy enough to do so . I'm scared of what I'd see even if I'd not another woman I'm scared I will see something he's said about me

Don't get carried away

You are acting differently so he knows something is up, that's all

Right ok I've come up to bed and I've decided to start a new series of something on netflix so I have something to fall back on throughout all this....

Now what do I watch ? I was thinking walking dead because he's shit scared of scary movies and stuff and I feel rebellious!

I hope his piece on the side has a ouiji board and he only finds out after we break up and it's too late !! Whaaa hahahaha!!!!

SadI feel so messed up ....

Don't worry Dolly. You didn't wimp out. It just wasn't the right time. You are already stronger than when you started this post.

He has to learn that he's responsible for his own happiness. And sometimes you have to work hard at being happy.

I can't comment on your marriage or the possibility of an OW, but whatever's going on it sounds as if he's directing whatever frustrations or failures he feels at you rather than trying to figure out what he himself could do to improve them. (Eg, if he's unhappy in his career, how could he fix that etc.)
