You deserve so much better. He just doesn't get it. And he should feel like an ass because he is one. Please come on here any time to vent. That's what we're here for.
You don't deserve this and we'll keep telling you that for as long as you need. Keep venting and using us as a sounding board. I am so sorry things have ended up this way and I hope you're able to find resolution that makes you happy.
And what on earth were the lose-lose scenarios in his mind???

You are an amazing person. If Lucy was in a marriage like yours, what would you tell her to do? Use her to find your strength - and we will all support you for however long you want to vent here.
He's an asshole and you and your children deserve better.
He also sounds like someone who will be vindictive and manipulating in a separation and divorce. I think you need to prepare for war.
TODAY you need to do the following things: - log on to all accounts and screenshot account balances. Save these in a Dropbox file that he doesn't know about. - consider moving some money into an account that only you have access to. - leave messages with attorneys for a consultation about your rights as a primary caregiver and dependent spouse. - make a copy of all important documents and save it somewhere you don't know about.
You may wind up not ending things today or tomorrow, but having these things in order will make you feel less stuck.
I'm sorry if my post comes off as "bossy" or unsupportive. I tend towards action rather when stressed. Do you have local family and friends you can lean on?

I'm sorry that you are going through this, but I hope this is enough for you to know you are worth more than what he treats you. You are amazing and will realize this once he is gone. I am so sorry about this though.
I am so sorry. As someone who has gone through feeling like this most recently pls pm me any time you want to talk.
But I can say that based on what you post he sounds like he doesn't value you, respect you and isn't a good partner. You don't need that and deserve better.
