First. How are YOU doing, taking care of yourself should be priority one. YOU have to be strong for your children. YOU are their ROCK, so make sure you are giving yourself time to work on YOU.
Second. I don't know if you have the finances for an initial consultation but you need to talk to a Lawyer about this house selling thing. This really bothers me for a couple of reasons, it is emotionally disturbing to the kids. Second, I don't think he can force you to sell the house, it may be time for some tough love, I mean setting some boundries. I know you want to save your M but when it comes to your kid's home and well being, they have to come first. If you can not afford a L, then call another realtor and ask them, they may not be able to leagally list the home without both you and your H's consent. You need to find this out tomorrow ASAP. There are plenty of Realtors out there working on Sundays so find a smart one and ask. You do not want to find this out while you are sitting down with your H and a realtor.
Third I am glad he called. It is a positive sign. Just like before write it down but that is it, you are not taking any actions until he says he wants to work on the R. Keep validating his feelings and let him do the talking, if he wants to talk about the selling the house I would just listen but offer no opinions one way or the other until you have more info.
Stay strong, remember this is a marathon not a sprint. It will get better and you WILL SUCCEED!!!

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
