My husband told me he wants to file for separation because of our toxic relationship. Granted, I wasn’t the easiest to deal with sometimes but we’ve had a lot of health scares this year (plus I’m pregnant and hormonal). He lost his job and wasn’t focusing hard on finding a new one, so we lost our appt and had to move in with his parents. We were not properly handling our emotions. I don’t want to separate, I see our issues as fixable as long as we’re willing to put in the work. He’s completely checked out though, and hasn’t spoken to me in a month. I’m also 4 months pregnant and he says he doesn’t want to be involved with the pregnancy but wants to “co-parent” down the line.
His communication style is just awful. He hasn’t said a word no matter how many times I ask. Even about logistical things like paying the PG&E bills or being able to pack my things out of his house. Never responds.
Has anyone had to deal with an unresponsive partner? How are we ever going to co-parent if this is how he acts? Any advice?

“Granted I wasn’t the easiest to deal with” is likely the problem no matter how you gloss over it.
Why do you think he’s checked out? If you can answer that..you can fix this.
I wish you luck
