I absolutely unerstand what you guys say but: 1. I cannot afford the house (we just refinanced it to 15 year and paid off the home equity line used to pay for kitchen remodeling, new windows and a car that we since traded in) it is about $2400 a month just in morgage and I have student loans, car payments utilities, food etx that would bring it to over $3000 on monthly basis. I would not be able to make it. 2. I respect the fact that this house has more meaning to him than me because he put down downpayment with the money he got from his dad's life insurance - something that he feels extremely strong about. 3. Very hight chances of him not being able to keep the house either due to not getting a raise this year plus financial costs of the D (he needs to pay me off to keep the house). 4. I am only going to move out once all the things are buttoned up and there is no misunderstanding about what it rightfully mine.
So even though he really should be the one that leaves, he is actually worst off staying so I can take it (that's the little evil in me) and make day out of it. When it comes to OW - she appears to be high maintanance and driving to see him 45 min by bus will be trying for their new love but hey! If it's true love then they'll survive. Plus she lives in the city so it's most likely that he'll shack up with her when needed regardless where he'll end up living.
