Well we had our talk. She told me that if she moved away, there was no way I could afford the house on my own. She said that I was keeping her here as financial blackmail.

That there was no way she could live outside the home and pay for our mortgage and living expenses.

I believe she is saying that if she moved out, she would still be responsible for at least half the mortgage payment.

I affirmed her when she told me that I was an abandoner. She told me that this is an underhanded ploy to get me to keep her here and to trick her into reconciling. All that affirming was just manipulation. She hates this house because this house reminds her of me. She needs to get out and live alone.

But I said, I'm not selling. I'm not keeping you here. She said that I was financially keeping her here.

The good news is I think I've been downgraded from emotional and verbal abuser to abandoner.
