We we legally married (get this) 3 weeks before he called it quits. I had no real idea he had any desire to not be married at the time we did so. We did live together for a couple years first, but he made sure to bail just before the laws in our state would look at contesting community property. As for why he doesn't sell the house? My guess is that because my daughter and her boyfriend damaged it so heavily in the short time they were there his only options are put money into it or take a hit selling it for less than the mortgage still owed. A third option is he is waiting for the divorce to finalize before he does anything major financially.
He has no need for the house. The family he lives with provides him everything he wants and needs. He is the sort I think that he would rather it sit than allow me to gain anything from it.
