Hi Lovethehub and betsey, thank you both for sharing your experience and thoughts. It's helpful.

My H expressed the same feeling to me. He kept saying he was unhappy, unloved and lonely for so many years. It seems that's all my fault. He claimed that now he wants to live on his own and look for his true love... He totally forgot the happy moments during our marriage life.
