The writer expresses dissatisfaction with her marriage and has made attempts to communicate her desire to end it. Despite not filing for divorce, she feels stuck as her husband refuses to move out, believing in the permanence of marriage for their children's sake. Previous counseling attempts did not resolve their issues, and she feels her husband displays manipulative tendencies. The advice given includes consulting an attorney to explore legal options regarding her ownership of the house and understanding her rights, emphasizing the difficulty in actions versus intentions in such situations.
Even if you don't file right away, please talk to an attorney so that you have a full understanding of what your options and rights are.
Knowing what you should do and having the wherewithal to do it are two separate things, so don't be too hard on yourself.
Your husband has some manipulative tendencies, which may also be complicating your marriage and your desire to end it.
This also makes it harder for either of you to move on.
