I have another thread going in relationships about my partner but I just wanted some advice on what I should do in terms of the house we jointly own. I think my partner will try to buy me out but I figure this will take a few months to sort and in that time I would still be liable to pay my share of the mortgage I assume. Until its sorted, should I stay in the spare room while paying my split, or move out to family while paying? My worry is that he will drag his feet if I do leave as he has no incentive when he has the house to himself and paying less and I couldn't afford somewhere else while I'm paying this mortgage. But equally don't really want to live in a terrible environment for months so not sure what to do? He has been emotionally abusive in the relationship but not physical if that makes any difference.
