once he moves out, people are going to ask me about it, what happened, etc. What do you say then, especially if your kids are with you?
Why do you need to explain anything? If it's a close friend, you can talk privately at another time. I have limited what I say to all but my closest friends (no, everyone in the free world is not my closest friend). To those that know us both and ask I just say we're sperated. If they ask what happened, I just say I'd rather not discuss the details (or something in that vein).
What I think and say becomes who I am.

He's sometimes sweet and kind and affectionate AND he's breaking my heart at the same time--how can that be?
He's an idiot and a confused one at that. Have compassion if you can.
