Navigating the choice to move back in - feeling guilt tripped
Post Body

I've posted here enough, unfortunately, that I'm sure I don't have to régale the entirety of the brokenness that is my marriage. The short recap is spouse has a history of sexting other women. I had a one time encounter with one person over a year ago, and my partner decided to see 20 people as well as have a relationship with his coworker.

For the last couple of days, I've noticed him pulling away. Last night he calls me upset after my book club meet up. He proceeds to go on and on about how "I want nothing to do with him, he's wasting him time, I'm keeping my daughter from him, I don't actually want to be home" and so on. I tried to talk him down saying none of that was true, I do want to be home. But right now, it's hard when 4 women were so easily invited into our literal bed. That I'm trying to work through all of this without bearing down on him, expecting him to do the emotional labor to "fix it". I have been spending time with him at this point, literally almost every single day. To the point my best friend could no longer tolerate my stupidity of going back and informed me I had to leave. So now I am currently living with my aunt and uncle about 20 minutes from my husband. My therapist has told me over and over stop living my life for my husband and live it for myself/my daughter. The minute I do a small thing for myself, he is upset. I am terrible about letting him just be upset at me. Frankly I can't take it. But now I feel immense guilt for not moving back home. Like my feelings somehow should be shut away and I should just deal with it so he doesn't feel lonely. He hasn't spoken to me pretty much all night and I feel awful. I question whether I actually did something wrong this time.
