Thumper, what you describe in relation to selling the house is what I find so daunting, and I'm sure others do, as well.
Like many people, we owe as much or more on ours than it's worth, plus it needs a lot of work to get it ready to sell. My AW can sometimes be a petty, vindictive person (she inherited it from her father), so I'm sure she would do everything in her power to make the process a living hell.
Thanks for reminding us that it can be done.
