Do you have a lawyer? If so, you need to be speaking to him/her about what you need in the way of support money to keep the household up and running.
I thought it was absolutely priceless that he would have he nerve to tell you not to spend any money for the next 6 weeks. What's going to change between now and then? You can feel sorry for him, but do not allow this to sway you from what you need to survive. He's put himself in this big, deep financial hole and he can very well dig himself out on his own or w/the "lady friend". Just remember...he fired you from being his wife, lover and financial advisor quite some time ago. His life is no longer your problem...
Definitely seek the counsel of an attorney as soon as possible because it sounds like he's not going to be ensuring you have ample funds to live on if he continues down the road he's on or he's bsing you w/a poor me story. But, the truth needs to come out as to where all of the money is going and what is so special about the 6 week timeframe.
Protect yourself financially.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
