You two are at the high point of the emotional/angry time in this process.
He has not owned/accepted/admitted his contribution to the marital breakdown, and is pissed because you won't accept a continued life w/him. In all honesty, he probably is having a hard time accepting his own contribution to the situation.
So. He's still in the "How could you?" stage, when he feels he'd not done enough wrong to justify your filing for divorce...
It's going to be ugly for awhile. You are the mean wife who literally threw him out w/out justification. And, he realizes... You're not kidding. This is real.
Couple all this w/his alcohol and "other" issues, plus his wife's new resolve.
Yep. Pissy man ...!!!
This will not get much better until a lot is settled legally. Buckle up. Nothing will be good enough for him
He's been done wrong.
I would try not to deal w/him face to face re: visitation, kids, money... Email and/or txt.
When you are in person, polite for your kids sake.
I know it's hard to forgive someone continuously hurting you, and not being remorseful... Still working on it here!!!

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
