Hello, I am married, bought a house with my husband while married. We separated because he cheated. We have been married for about 3 years and living at this house for about 2 years. We still live together but we are seperated. He pays the mortgage I pay the water bill and electric. Both our names are on the deed. I’m not sure if I should move out since he won’t move out. But it’s causing me emotional turmoil living here with him
