Communication can often be difficult, even in the best relationships, at the best of times. Perhaps what he's asking for is not what he actually needs or wants. (We men aren't best known for our communication skills.) Unfortunately, what's likely needed most right now is clear thinking, which may be near impossible in this situation. Is marriage counseling something he would agree to? Even if not, I'd suggest it for you, at least to think about. It's not "doctor, help me/us fix where we went wrong" time, but it may help getting an unbiased 3rd view into the situation, just to help nudge things back in the right direction, if that's what right for you both. If there are children in your life, it may be beneficial to consider something similar for them (it helped me as a child).
Sorry for the unsolicited advice; I know we don't know each other. I've just been around divorce in all it's stages for much of my life, both as a child and as an adult, and I know it can be a tough time. I do hope things work out for the best between you both.
Thanks for the advice and consolations Unfortunately he told me in a very well thought out and controlled way. Also there is no arguing the "I love you, but I'm not in love with you" speech. seems like I have a lot to figure out and not a lot pf time to do it.....feels like shit. Worst part is that he was so sweet and caring in the way that he told me, it makes me love him more!
The Fates really like to fuck with me, this time last year I was so happy, a husband and a kid on the way. Now I'm childless and alone. Ahh, life's fun little speed bumps
I don't know what you believe in, but this is certainly terrible thing to endure. I can only hope in the future you'll have good news for you. It may not seem like it now but it's always and up and down thing with life.
