discarded, he is being crazy. It's a common reaction to affairs. He wants to experience his freedom, has rewritten the whole mariatal history to support his poor choices, and is demonizing you. He expects you approve of his choices because, in his mind, he's suffered and deserves something. But what is really underneath it, is that he knows he acting terribly and doesn't want to face it.
Below are a few links that may better help you understand all of it:
