I’m making this post as an overreaction to my life’s current situation. But my marriage isn’t in a very healthy state and if marriage counseling doesn’t help my wife and I get back on track we are seemingly headed for a divorce.
About 3 years ago we / mainly me bought the house we’re currently living in. It’s a great town in a great school district great everything. If my wife were to move out I truly don’t think it really be messy divorce since we both just coming to the realization that maybe we shouldn’t have gotten married when we did (we don’t hate each other at all). I think again I’m not believing this I’m just thinking best case scenarios that I would have to buy her out of a small potion and give her a car( we own two ones payed off).
I don’t want to sell this house as I got a decent deal on it for this area. My main question of rambling racing thoughts is, to anyone who’s been in a similar situation. If you kept the house did you rent the entire house out to help keep paying the mortgage or did you rent room(s) out?
I haven’t done any research on this yet I saw a house on my street go up for rent that I didn’t know was a rental and it gave me the idea.
I’m currently living about an hour NE of Philadelphia in the suburbs. Just to give you an idea of the area I’m in. The area here the homes sell FAST, for example we bought this house when it was only on the market for 48 hours. Friends sold their home with in 48hrs on the market a couple months ago.
I may be rambling and giving useless or not enough information but this situation has been very difficult for me to think clearly.
I’m hoping I can delete this post and laugh to myself in the future but who knows.
TL;DR:
If you and your spouse had a “healthy” divorce and you kept the house what did you do to help pay the mortgage? Or did you cut ties and sell the house?
