Hey, you have a good plan not to depend on him. I went dark and it was very liberating. I think my H missed being missed and he was eventually taught to treat me better after I went dark and stayed positive. I never really had the money to hire a gardener, a locksmith, a roofer. That is still a problem. One can only rely on the kindness of friends and family for so long before one feels like a leech but that's what they are for so use them if you got them. Your H will come around, mine did and he was the biggest most stubborn procrastinator who once yelled at me to just sell the house. Hang in there and stay positive.
