I am so grateful that I stayed working while married to my exAH. There was a point when I could have quit, financially, but I continued working. I think I always knew that my life could change at any moment. We had nearly divorced years earlier over his alcoholism. He sobered up for 14 years (no program after one year but still did it) and I did learn trust and love with him again. But still, there was always that little boyscouty "be prepared" nagging deep within me to never again let myself be in a position where I couldn't handle raising my kids alone if it all fell apart. It did, and I was glad I had trusted my intuition.
