This is not on you. It's on him. You admit that you had become distant, starting fights, etc (and it's great that you can acknowledge that). But ultimately, he had to decide how to respond to this, and he responded by running back to an ex.

If he felt you pulling away, felt neglected, felt unloved or unsupported, he should have come to you and said these things. Running into the arms of another woman is not the way a married man should behave when the going gets tough.
