Emotionally Detach

Hello,
Any advice on how I can emotionally detach from my husband who I plan on divorcing. He’s had an on going affair, I’ve caught him several times but each time he swears he will end it but never does. Has anyone started to emotionally detach from their husband before filing for divorce? I 100% know I have to leave, I can’t forgive anymore and this marriage is toxic. Any advice would be great.
Thank you all

Re: Emotionally Detach

When the final straw broke in my marriage and I asked him to leave.
I had felt a weight lifted and relief finally. I was realizing over the last year or so that I was wishing for terrible things and that I really didn’t care or have feelings for him anymore.
The only part I am struggling with is the adult loneliness. I don’t miss him at all, I miss someone being here with me but is not him.

Thank you for the advice. We are basically living as roommates, although I still want some kind of emotional bond. I don’t know why it’s so hard for me to simply let go of him. He’s toxic and so is this marriage.
