PS: I have learned from this site, that in some states, it can be considered 'separated' when you reside in the same house, but in different rooms. That a manditory separation (prior to granting a divorce) can be 'backdated' to the time where the spouses sleep apart. I have NO idea if this is the case, but have heard about this. Might want to check into it. Obviously there isn't much you can do since he choose to leave the room, but at least you would be informed.
