Excellent point, H. Financial stability is a key factor in deciding for a divorce. I'm not expecting anything from my husband, the house is his, he purchased it before we married, but we were living together for years. Since I haven't contributed I don't have expectations. That means I would need to buy my own place and in this economy and political set-up (I live in Europe), I don't want to use all my savings on real estate. Hang in there.
