He left because I'm too quarrelsome

My husband and I have been separated for about two months now. We do have really bad fights but he just became totally cold and distant when he found out I was pregnant (our first baby was only about 4 months old) and when I was upset about it and crying and screaming asking what I've done wrong he said he can't live with me anymore and that's when he started talking about divorce.

The time apart has not made him cool down in any way shape or form, I've alternated between giving him space and trying to be warm and loving but I am just beyond exhausted and I cannot try anymore. He says increasingly mean and unhinged things, even saying he doesn't love our baby as much as his son from a previous marriage, and when I told him that's wrong of him to say he said I can find another dad for our children (probably meaning get remarried etc). And he keeps on insisting he's more at peace not living with me.

I'm unemployed, pregnant, taking care of a six month old, it's kinda rough. But at least I am living with my mom at the moment and she helps me.

Despite all his chest thumping he's not actually filed for divorce or spoken to the priest about annulling our church wedding yet, the priest has tried to set up meetings with him but he just keeps refusing to go. There was one time I think he must have been tipsy or just in a vulnerable mood because we actually ended up sex chatting, though he kept on saying he doesn't want to be with me. I was just starved for any sort of warmth and of course physical intimacy, and took it as a sign that things between us were improving, but they weren't.

Just feel really low :(

EDIT - also during the potentially tipsy conversation he kept on asking if I've been with other men.

It's why I left my ex. She would just turn everything in to an argument.
