Wife left me three weeks ago!

I should have said in my last post, my wife keeps asking what I want to do about our house. She wants to sell for the money. I want to keep it but couldn't afford it.on my own. We worked hard to pay off our mortgage quicker than necessary and if things work out I would like to still have our home, even if we did sell it and.move to a new home in the future. Should I drag my feet on clearing the house, letting her decorate, selling it etc in the hope things work out and she returns home. That might have a negative affect of appearing unhelpful or stubborn etc. Should I instead be ever helpful in which case I might be speeding the process up but by appealing to her in being helpful it could also aid our reconciliation...should one happen.

I really don't want to sell the house. Current wages and employment would mean living with parents. I want my family home but my wife is pretty adamant at the moment that she would never live in our town again and wants to live in a nearby town a few mikes away. I would be willing to move with her in future should things work out but why move to rented accommodation when we own a house. She is dead against ever getting a mortgage ever again. Maybe this just her speaking in absolute negatives at the moment.
