My husband and I are separating (his decision, not mine). I'm thinking of selling the house (fully paid out by now) and use my share of the sale proceeds (plus some of my savings) to get myself and my DD someplace smaller to live in. I'm doing that partly because I'm not sure I'll be able to maintain it (the roof needs regular repairs, then there's general upkeep, taxes, etc) and partly because it's too big for DD and me. And I never quite liked it, anyway.
My STBX argues I am being unreasonable since the cost savings won't be significant if I move to a smaller property (and he is probably right). He thinks I should keep the house, he will let me have it if I buy out his share of the property.
I thought I was pretty sure I want to sell and move, but now I feel I'm in two minds. Again. Am I really being unreasonable and about to trade bad for worse?
