It seems that your issues come from the fact that your husband doesn’t think you are contributing enough to the relationship. He is looking for an equal partner and he doesn’t feel you can give him that.
I don’t know anything about you so I can’t tell you if you’re a golddigger, but apparently your husband has the feeling you are using him for his money. Saying “but I always ask to use his card” is not really a substantive argument against that acquisition. Which leds me to believe you do not contribute a lot to the relationship financially.
I am sorry that you have mental health issues but I don’t think it’s fair to say your husband is “using them against you”. It is affecting him too and he is allowed to have feelings regarding this. Again I can’t judge on that, but it seems like he doesn’t want to be with someone who is dealing with these mental health issues. This is obvious way above Reddit’s pay grade and I really recommend you to go talk to a professional about this and see what insights they might have. Perhaps your husband is willing to fix things if he sees you’re willing do do your part? Maybe you can get a job and show him you are more independent than he thinks?
The only way there is the SMALLEST chance of fixing this is looking at yourself honestly and see if there are things you can show (not say) to him you are working on. Not saying he is right and you are wrong, but he won’t be staying if things don’t chance and you can only chance yourself, not him. And since you really want to fix things…
Get couples therapy and individual therapy, your wife wants to destroy your relationship for some reason this has nothing to do with her being bi unless she's a lesbian and coming to terms with it, which doesn't excuse her cheating either. You guys have kids she needs to knock it off and if it's possibly accepting she's not straight you need to split up amicably.
I see you've had a lot of people telling you to dump him, which you probably should, but if you're not ready to: try randomly telling him that you'll find him much less attractive if his hair starts thinning, or that you only find him attractive with the exact amount of facial hair that he has right now.
OR maybe consider having an open relationship in the future if you know you won’t be able to fulfill your partners’ sexual needs (and you’re both ok with it)
I mean…the fact that you were sitting him down telling him how much his even mentioning it has destroyed the relationship for you…and then he responded with “monogamy worked when people died when they were 40 but now when we live till we are 80-90 maybe it wasn't enough,” I would be so disgusted with him as a human being I would be out the door that day. It's one thing if he didn't realize it would hurt you…but in the middle of you telling him it was hurting you immensely, he DOUBLED DOWN. Fuck this guy- he clearly wants this more than he cares about you, and only backpedals when he thinks HE is going to lose something. Tell him to fuck right off to the curb with the rest of the garbage.
It’s like the plot of she’s all that but gross, it’s supposed to be two immature high school kids… not one kid and a grown ass adult man.
Terrible advise.

Hmmm…am I the only one hearing the word projection being whispered?
