At least, when couples or families realize they can no longer afford the house they're living in, they usually make some sort of mutual decision to go through the foreclosure, bankruptcy and whatever else follows. On the other hand, in most couples, one member has the debt, or the majority of it. The other member of the couple starts to resent the sacrifices he or she has to make on account of the other's debt, which can lead to a split.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481083477379506990.post-51166028191796271812011-09-07T23:08:25.420-04:002011-09-07T23:08:25.420-04:00@warwick - EXACTLY.@warwick - EXACTLY.Cryn Johannsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452412213997621242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481083477379506990.post-20355500593708396412011-09-07T22:53:50.870-04:002011-09-07T22:53:50.870-04:00You can walk away from a mortgage.
