I will say this about buying a house too, the reason I won't/can't leave this one, is because I want to protect my equity in this place. H is still susceptible to the parasite, and the only way I can protect that asset is to stay here until he buys me out or we sell. Getting the cash out of here gives me a good way to have a small mortgage.
Because of the way our previous sep agreement was structured, it's in my best interest to stay here (and keep him paying as much here as possible.) I even told him with the newest developments, ... that if he has to play nice, and he has to go over to OW's to see his child until the lawyer thing... DO so. Less I have to deal with her drama the better. His hatred of her H is going to make that mess even more volatile... won't be my fault
