I did speak with an attorney who looked at our monies and we are house rich and cash poor. He of course tried to convince me that selling the house would be beneficial to me, because I could have a “little condo” and money in the bank. I cannot lose my husband, relationship AND the house. I’m just devastated that this too, could be slipping from my grasp.
I have a worksheet to go back the last 12 months for all of our expenses to see what exactly I need to live on. With H being gone, I will work on that. The attorney echoed what so many here have said, that to get them to put in writing what they want to do while the guilt is fresh. I’m torn because, I feel if I do, I am conceding to a divorce. If I don’t and we still divorce later, my money options could be a lot less.
We owe less on this house than a nice condo and our mortgage payment is the equivalent of a studio apt. So to lose that would be very drastic.
Hobbies? I am in the puzzle game right now with Covid being rampant. Since I will be alone until Weds, I will figure out fun meals to cook for me, shows to watch and books to read.
I was so proud I didn’t cry yesterday and now I just feel hopeless.
