not to keep your hope up. But any chance that the fog is lifting? did he say why? (I assume you are only guessing about the alimony part). Boy, in this case, I would rather that the house sells fast so you can move on (or so that he can "hit bottom" if that's the bottom). The amount of work your H tries to "have both world" is really interesting.
No advice, just lots of hugs and best wishes for what you will have to deal with later.
