Thank you for your response, Inkpoe and clearing things up.
Initially he would only play with the baby, change a diaper or two, etc but the major responsibilities like staying up with her at night, giving her medicine, and taking her to and from the sitter was all my responsibility. Since returning to the house he has been very hands on. Almost like everything I mentioned about him not stepping up to care for the baby he is doing now, no more mention of divorce. Yet walking around not really talking to me. Almost like he's waiting for me to sweep it under the rug.
By the way, he has since come back home. We are walking around not really speaking like little kids after a fight. I hate that it is this way and its immaturity on both of our parts. However, when I approach him humbly, he acts sooooo arrogant like that is me admitting fault. So instead I play the wait game with him but this time I'm really just tired! This is not a functional marriage.
You don't have the luxury of acting childishly and having a standoff and waiting for the other person to blink anymore, and neither does your husband. You have a baby to care for, and if you don't both step it up and start doing it as a team, your marriage WILL suffer, and so will your child. Giving one another the silent treatment and being passive aggressive is a crappy idea.

This is strange.
Not so strange. He was caught cheating (at least emotionally, anyway). He IS hoping you will sweep it under the rug. He is hoping that by doing more, that will mollify you.
Tabula, I agree. The silence is doing more harm than good. It's very immature on both parts actually.
Thanks, Just a Guy. This makes so much sense.
