It must be hard for you when he takes this attitude about D2. It seems like he is lacking an adult perspective on this.
I thought you were resolved on the house situation? I know it's hard, especially with kids. But, can something good come out of moving? In my case, I want to move if it will improve my quality of life - if I can get a decent place closer to work. My house now has some advantages - it is private, yet in a convenient location. It will be hard to get everything I want in one place with less income. But - now I get very little sun, so I will be happy if I get a sunnier place. But, moving is very stressful even in happy times.
My only caution to you is to be careful that H doesn't feel jerked around - or be ready for another bout of power plays.
