How confusing a situation for you: Torn feelings. I think it's a positive step that you've realised you're only still hanging on in the relationship because of his illness. It sounds as if you both battled on trying to work out whether to stay together for those 2 years, but things didn't work out. It's sad that he developed cancer, but ultimately, it sounds as if the relationship has met its conclusion. You can potentially part as friends, but perhaps no more. It's generous that he's gifting you his share of the house. You can always sell it and move to something cheaper once the divorce is finalised: To a more affordable property.

I don't know what the divorce process is where you live, but can your lawyer petition the Court to set a hearing date, so your husband and his lawyer can't delay anymore? Also, consider what other assets there are in the asset pool that need to be split: Shares/inheritances/savings/jewellery/cars etc.
