I think it will be very hard to find peace right now while still seeing him regularly.

Is it possible that perhaps you could exchange the dogs some other way? Can you just leave them in his yard perhaps? I mean of course you would have to let him know you are dropping them off Tuesday or whenever and that you will put them in the yard at 3 and pick them up the same way or he can leave them in your yard?

Just an idea for now, maybe for several months. You haven't been apart very long and seeing him regularly and knowing all he is up to keeps you engaged in his life instead of focusing on yours.
