Staying in a marriage because of housing costs? That’s a novel theory which I didn’t think of. It must suck to look at that nagging broad every day knowing that you would have left her a long time ago if it weren’t for housing, child support and alimony. Can a divorced man still afford a condo and a car after paying all that? (before anyone jumps on me for being sexist, the same would apply if the woman had to make the payments).
On the plus side, more divorces will create more households which will fill up the empty houses. More transactions would make the realtors happy. So the cycle begins anew.
