Why does he stay with her and don't judge just opinions please?

I told my married affair partner of 5 years I'm tired of sharing. That I love him but its effecting my sexuality with him and I'm losing my passion.
He immediately threw up. He couldn't speak for 20 min. He stared at the ceiling holding his stomach.

After some alcohol,, He said something in him can't get him to leave, abandon, them. He said there is so much involved. I would think guilt. Financial guilt.

He said if she leaves it's ok but he just can't do it. He doesn't know what the future holds. He said he could never tell her, I'd have to do it. Wtf...

He's in a sexless marriage, they sleep in separate rooms. I saw this for myself. She has not worked in 15 years and they have a 14 and 15 year old.
His business is 1500 miles away from where they are and only sees them 3 days every 2 weeks. He had to sell his house and move them to a cheaper state near friends. Wife is OK with all this. She knows about us, but never confronted him. She posted on her social media something about Patience when you have nothing. And another quote about making the best of things.

Why would a man live like this?
Can't he see she's 1500 miles away and is Ok with this something is up?

He puked when I told him im considering leaving. So why be miserable out of guilt? I just don't get it. What a mess. Maybe my leaving will put a match under his ass.
Why does he stay with her and don't judge just opinions please?
