Giving "space" while going through a rough patch in a 20-yr marriage, am I overreacting?

His reasoning is that “space” means the marriage is essentially open. I never expressed that, never agreed to that, and never once considered seeing anyone else. In my mind, space meant distance while still respecting our vows.

You have a right to feel furious about it but I think he also has a right to feel how he feels. He was kicked out. You weren't showing him love and affection for a while it seems. How is he supposed to feel OP?

NP. I’m a cheater and even I think this guy is an ahole.

I'm pretty forgiving about infidelity in general, but this guy is a nasty person who has shown contempt. OP needs to move on.

OP, this guy has shown you exactly who he is. It’s not going to get better. There’s no fixing this. Negotiate a settlement and get out. Being alone is better than this. I’m sorry.
