Can anyone relate with all or part of this?

My husband would get in a bad mood for days, not abusive or yelling, just sullenness or being impatient and rude. Often it would then turn out that he feels sexually unsatisfied, or we're not doing enough activities that center him. (The need for blowjobs came up multiple times...)

I'm physically disabled and he never researched my health condition or how to support it. I was constantly explaining myself to him, trying to make him understand why I could or couldn't do something.

We were together 12 years. He asked me for a divorce 2 weeks after my dad died because he wants kids and he needs to find someone more compatible.

I feel so much energy now that we're separated. Turns out, the mental overhead of cohabitating with him and dealing with his bad moods was greatly contributing to my chronic fatigue.

He said he felt he wasn't receiving enough care in our entire relationship. But emotionally I feel I was centering him more than me.

I will never be codependent again.
