STBX husband is irritated over small things

Our situation: I (F) wanted to divorce for a long time but didn’t have the gut to do so. Finally, he filled for a divorce two months ago. We still live in the same small house with a child. He is planning to move out in a few months. Our relationship issues are mainly built up resentment, silent treatment, withdrawing and poor communication.

My initial reaction to his decision was crying and begging him to change his mind. Then some days later I gathered my strength and accepting his decision, taking steps to keep our interactions civil. I told him I would like to make sure his last few weeks of living together to be civil and I would support him in the transition as much as I can.

Despite my effort, he is increasingly frustrated by little misunderstandings in our day to day life. He ignores my presence most of the time, would not say hello. He keeps bringing up the past (things I said or did) and say ‘that’s why I am glad to divorce you’. If he is glad to be soon free, why so much hate?

I would like to fight for our family and keep us intact but it is so hard if he is full of resentment. Anyone who is/ was in his position, what is your insights? What made you behave this way?

Is there any hope for reconciliation?
