I think the way you handle him is to LET GO.

Drop the rope.

Husband you can have the divorce and this is the way it is going to work.
Validate his desire for a divorce and back it up with actions.
I am glad I read elsewhere that you are seeing an attorney.
Protect yourself and put yourself first in this divorce proceeding.
You only get one shot at it and he may be willing to negotiate a better deal for you the sooner it gets done.
