Dear Athena:

It is possible that part of the awakening you mentioned may include realizations that are not completely true, realizations that are partly true. For example, he may admire the way you look but sees you way more than a trophy wife. Maybe his reliance on insurance is not senseless. You may be thinking in all-or-nothing terms.

I think it will be a good idea if you attend quality psychotherapy to examine your thoughts and new beliefs, evaluate those and come to better, more accurate understanding before you rush to maybe end the marriage.
