If it is the latter, perhaps he is having a mid-life or existential crisis that is not wholly about the marriage. In that case, you need to decide if it worth the effort to convince him to go to counseling, etc.
As if
“I’m unhappy, I deserve more,” is an actual reason when you have a spouse, kids and a house.
He’s hiding the real reason. You’ll know eventually, but not now.
Unfortunately, a lot of divorces are for just that reason. Some people are selfish and will always but their own happiness first.
That’s a false facade “reason”.
The real reason is they don’t want to do the work to be a good life partner or spouse or parent so just drudge along, dump all the work into their partner, get ignored back…..
Then one day they run into their friend Jimmy who is divorced and thinks it’s easy and great! For him. Fun weekends and trips with the kids!
And so he threatens divorce and wants to hit the Reset button solo or with a new woman, instead of patch things up with his wife and mother of his kids. It’s easier that way. For him.
On the way out he claims they fell out of love, he has no idea how, he’ll be happy, no pesky roommates demanding things of him.
