Give him his space and start doing for yourself. In the long run, this will pay off. Have patience. Don't feel guilty about furthering your education. Make the changes for yourself and not him. Don't mention your changes to him. Just show him.
My H walked out on my me 7 months ago. About a month ago we started to see each other and now we are piecing. At first he was not affectionate towards me at all. Yes, it bothered me, but I told myself everyday be patient. It has paid off. We are basically living together again and he is affectionate towards me. We are getting along better than we have ever.
Let him know what it will be like if he walks out on you. Don't feel guilty about leaving him with the kids while you go to school. I am school 3 nights a week and my husband takes care of our daughter. I don't think he likes it very much, but he knows it will benefit all of us.
