Shortly after we were married my husband began to drastically change. He stopped working, spends every waking moment on the computer having one online affair after another, doesn't go out or do anything around the house, and barely speaks to me. He has dragged us into bankruptcy and we were forced to move in with his parents (who pay for his interent). Two years have gone by, he still doesn't have a job and absolutely refuses to stop his online activities.
I work and look after everything from paying bills to doing the laundry while he contributes nothing. It has come to the point where I can't take it anymore. I keep waiting for him to 'get over it', to be the man I married again but after 2+ years I really don't think its going to happen.
I've been here over 4 years now and have just mailed in my I-751 to remove the conditions on my greencard. I have no family and nothing to go back to in my country. All I have is my job here and the friends I've made.
My question is, can I leave him and still get my new greencard? I'm not talking divorce, yet, just a separation. It doesn't seem fair that I have to live with this out of fear of deportation. And I have a feeling that he knows this, knows or at least thinks I have to stay here paying all our bills, looking after him while he enjoys his life. I just want to leave without worrying that I may be deported because the marriage failed.
I called CIS and they told me if our marriage ended I would have to leave regardles of how long I've been here or why the marriage ended. They were referring to divorce and I couldn't get a straight answer out of them concerning separation.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
