My soon-to-be ex-husband 29M seems to think he deserves another chance with me 28F.

My husband and I have been together for nearly 8 years, married for 2 and a half. Last May, he suddenly decided to leave me and our toddler, moving back to his hometown without giving a clear reason?just that he thought we shouldn?t have gotten married. By July, he?d changed his mind and wanted to reunite. He stayed at his job in his hometown, so I decided to keep working in a different city for a few more months to build up my resume before looking for opportunities near him.
For six months, I managed a brutal commute, handled all childcare during the week, and drove to his town every weekend. I went to interviews, basically doing everything to make it work. In December, I finally landed a fantastic job near him. But just a week before we were set to move into a new house together, I discovered he had been cheating. He begged for forgiveness, promised to cut off contact with her, and I agreed to give it another shot. Two days later, while I was back in my city wrapping up my job, I found out he?d unblocked her and liked her posts on Instagram. I was crushed. On top of that, he kicked me out of the house we were supposed to share, leaving me scrambling to find a new place right before starting my new job.
Since then, we?ve lived separately, and he?s repeatedly said hurtful things, asking for a divorce so many times I?ve lost count. Until a month ago, he was still in touch with her?I even saw her car at his place. I finally stopped trying to ?win him back? and only communicated about our child. Now, suddenly, he?s desperate to reconcile, saying he?ll do anything to make it work. He unfollowed her, unliked all her photos, and keeps insisting I shouldn?t give up on us.
The truth is, I?ve moved on. I don?t want to get back together. He?s hurt me too much, and I?ve lost count of the times he?s let me down. I want to tell him that reconciliation isn?t an option without sounding cold. I aim to keep a healthy co-parenting relationship and try to be civil, but he interprets my friendliness as wanting him back. Despite telling him how I feel, he won?t listen?he says he?ll never stop trying and refuses a divorce, which I definitely want.
TL;DR: My husband cheated, left me, and repeatedly pushed for divorce. Now that I want one, he?s insisting on getting back together. Advice on how to make it clear I?ve moved on?
