How do you wait this out?

I wish I knew what triggered my husband's MLC??? But, then again, does it really matter? I just know he's in replay and has LOTS of work to do. Just a week ago he told our dogs he would be back in the house soon.

Wait...isn't it MY choice as to whether he comes back or not? Should I be saying "I love you' to him? I didn't say it back to him a week ago and that really shook him up. He's also saying the OW is "clingy" so I'm trying my best to give him distance and space and listen to what he's saying...
