Honestly because he straight out doesn't care for you anymore that's why he's lying. If I was you I'd seperate your finances as far as banks so he can't take your money, if the marriage is over as you know it than you need to take care of yourself & let him fend for himself.
Edit: Can I have...
Well like "they" say, who ever "they" is, "they" say there's usually some truth to it. If he's joking around making comments about women, she's got a hot @$$, or what ever, usually its the truth but he's trying to play it off as a joke so you won't get mad. He sounds really immature right now...
Honestly they shoed (lol) have lined him up in front of a firing squad of 8 to be dealt the same thing in return. A firing squad of shoe throwers with 25 pairs of shoes each. An eye for an eye!
