W wants me to sell the house....advice please

[native]

KLM:

It will be a struggle to afford the house on my own. When we bought it I told her the only way we could keep it was if she kept her job.

I had not really wanted to move the last time either. Our mortgage was only $300/mo.(I had bought the house and renovated it over several years b4 we got married. Now its $1435/mo.

We bought this house just after the real estate prices ballooned. Great timing huh?

Additionally, my skilled trade, plaster repair and restoration, is seeing increased competetion from illegal labor.

And my other buisness, home inspections, is dead in the water.
So its going to be a struggle, but I am applying for various salaried positions.

Thank you both for posting. Few people care, fewer still understand what it is to fight for your marriage.
