H totally backed you into a corner, and you got help. I am so proud of you. Notice he backed off a bit (now is willing to pay the bills).

I thought of you last night and this morning. I am taking baby steps toward getting ready to sell our house and buy a new one alone. Last night it finally sunk in that I stand to forfeit 1/2 the equity and this is our major investment together. I have no confidence that H will make wise decisions with his 1/2 and I am bothered about the potential for a bunch of it to be taken away in taxes.
I am facing this as well, but like you said, its nothing compared to having everything come at you at once. Thinking of you.
