Does keeping the marital home signal im not moving on, should i sell?
jade,
It depends on the situation. If you can't afford the house by yourself, then you have no choice but to sell.
In my case, I'd already told my wife that I wasn't moving out of the master bedroom so she moved to the guest room. She kept trying to get me to move to the guest room so she could have the master bedroom. I vividly remember the last time she tried to get me to move out of the master bedroom; we were standing in the family room and I said, "I'm staying in that bedroom (pointing to the master bedroom) and in this house (pointing to the ground) so that the boys will have some stability in their lives." I stayed true to my words and I've relished that moment often. I eventually booted my wife out of the house.
Now she's my ex-wife. But, I have to say, it's been really nice keeping the house.
