No, I totally disagree with that. The upkeep is still his responsibility too. I would much rather be in an apartment...but I can't do that because someone has to take care of things. If I leave then who is going to do it???? He left because he wanted to, if he wanted use out of the house or the yard, he could come back. It is not realistic to just decide one day that you have no responsibilities. He can only make that decision because I am taking care of everything.
Now granted, he doesn't have to do anything, but it is still HIS responsibility too.
