after 17 years and 4 kids he decided it’s best we separate claiming he no longer wants to hurt me this is a direct side effect to our financial and health struggles what should i do when I’m not the one who wants this?

i know you want answers right now, but honestly i had to stop chasing “how do i save this” and start asking “how do i survive this week.” food, sleep, making sure the kids were okay, that became the goal for a while because my brain was completely overloaded.
when he says he “doesn’t want to hurt you anymore,” does it feel like he’s actually checked out emotionally, or more like he’s drowning and pulling away from everything around him?
17 years and 4 kids is a whole life together. my ex left during the hardest financial stretch of our lives too and i remember feeling almost offended that HE got to decide it was over while i was still fighting for us. that kind of shock sits in your chest for a while
Definitely need to communicate some kind of plan after such a long relationship
talk it out.speak to him is dere any other way to work this relationshp out as ur kids are involved
