My husband refused to leave our home even though I was the one making the payments. My son and I are back in the home now and AH is looking for an apartment. One thing I'll say is that I guess you never know how they're going to react once you finally leave. My husband changed his attitude in a number of ways, for now anyway, but I'm proceeding with a divorce. Good luck to you!
