Is one sinful for severing the marital relationship while continuing to live in the same house for the sake of raising the children, after the husband told his wife: "My life with you is completely over, and you are in the house to raise the children"?

Families are not free of marital problems, and what is strange is the lack of effort from both spouses to solve them with wisdom and understanding. They should remember that one of the wisdoms of marriage is to achieve psychological stability, especially with the presence of children, because a good relationship between them affects their upbringing. We advise you both to reconcile what is between you and overlook mistakes. Your acceptance of the relationship is not a sin. However, the matter should not be left as it is. If reconciliation is possible, then praise be to Allah; otherwise, let the separation be with kindness. The husband's statement to his wife, "Your life with me in this house has definitively ended," is considered a metaphorical expression of divorce. If he intended divorce by it, then it takes effect.
