How many of you moved out of your homes?

Hi everyone,
I'm just curious to know how many of you left your homes when you separated? My husband made conditions unbearable for me so I decided to move out. How many of you have done the same? And were you able to get some of the furniture and other items out of your homes? He has made getting anything out of the house very difficult for me. Thanks, Bel

we were living in a rental at the time, and it was verrrrry expensive - i couldn't have afforded it on my own (i can barely afford the place i am in now and its less than
Great question!
We lived in "our" house together during the divorce until it sold..... UGH!

You're right about not being able to put a price on peace and quiet.

I did. I've been in my own apartment for almost three months and life is much more peaceful.
I suppose I could have fought him for the house. But he actively wanted it. I would have had to borrow money to buy him out, but the real issue for me was that I did't want to do maintenance. So now I'm in an apartment.
Most of the stuff we had was mine anyway -- I lived on my own for 20 years before I got married. So there's no problem at all about taking my own stuff. In fact he's on my back because I'm not removing it fast enough for him. I still have some stuff in the basement and garage.
I did trade him my washer and drier for a china cabinet that we bought together. I don't need a washer and drier at my apartment building because they are provided there (and mine are 10 years old) and I did want that china cabinet.
It was a huge and difficult job to pack up everything I own (and I'm still working on it), to move out of the house I thought I'd live in forever. But that was before he turned into someone I don't even recognize.
My life is better than it's been for the last year, living with a lying cheater who disapproved of everything I did.
Onward and upward!

I moved out, we bought the house when we were moving in together, then we got married, so actually he had it before we got married, but I still helped pay on it. But the problem is it's near ALL his family and about 30miles from mine so I was glad to move. It took me 2days of moving nonstop to get everything, I still don't have my xmas oranments and some things out of an outbuilding but I'll get it. He has already moved another woman in with him so I'm going to tell him to get my stuff or I'm calling the sheriff to do so maybe that will get them humping. I'm getting my own house this weekend Yah!!!

I moved out of my house because I couldn't afford the mortgage on my own. Plus we had a coal stove and loading that myself was not possible. The house was also in the middle of nowhere so I wouldn'thave been able to do the snow removal myself (I moved out on January 30). By the time he decided he wanted a divorce in March (he wasn't 'in love' with me anymore which = other woman) I told him I would sign the house over to him... I changed my mind once I found out that he had other woman staying there once in awhile. Boy was he MAD that I changed my mind! BUT because of his guilt over hurting me he let me take as much as I wanted out of the house. So in the end, I got most everything I wanted and what I didn't get, I don't miss.
