Husband deceived me for months

Been with DH 5 years, married less than one and have a 3yr old together.
Few months ago found out he'd been lying/keeping things from me to do with finances for 6 months, I confronted him, he said initially he hadn't wanted to worry me and then things snowballed.
I was willing to work things out and he made a number of promises, all of which he failed to deliver which resulted in me asking him to move out 3 weeks ago. At this point he was still adamant he was telling the truth and would deliver on his promises. In the end I called his bluff and he was shown to be lying again.
When he first moved out he was calling DC morning and night and would see them at weekends. For 11 days I've heard nothing from him.
I feel like I'm living a tv drama storyline and I've managed to act like I'm ok until now and it feels like it's starting to hit me.
Not sure what I'm looking for by posting this, just needed to write it down.

What do you want from him? You asked him to leave and he did? He called twice a day and when he did was the conversation heated?
if I'd done shit, asked to go then called to see how DC was and the ex was constantly going on about what I'd find I'd not want to have daily calls.

what does she want from him?

some accountability and meaningful making good on the damage he’s done with his lying and attitude to money

stepping up and continuing to be a parent to their young child despite the fact he cannot be trusted and could have destroyed their family life

that’s just for starters

Maybe the reality of what he's done is hitting him too. Maybe he's embarrassed or sulking to see if you'll chase him to come back? Stay strong, when he gets in touch, try to keep it more 'transactional' than emotion/ anger etc and try to sort the practical things out.
