No.

Seriously? He wants to get out of the marriage because yOU are somehow the cause of his unhappiness - but he wants to
keep living with you as room mates in the meantime?

NO.

Tell him your new boyfriends will probably not appreciate him hanging out around the house when they come over, and he needs to move out if this is what he truly wants. (I'm only half kidding here.)

See an attorney before you split ANY belongings with him.
