another one sided separation

[monkey318]

NYC, NY.
My husband & I have the strangest separation I know. He is at my home almost every day. He pays all the bills since I don't work. He has not done a change of address even though he has not lived here for 9 months. Some times it seems like he wants to spend time with me also and other times he clearly does not. We have seen a marriage counselor together and apart for about 7 months. We are not legally separated because I want to get back together so I am not willing to file. He does not want to get back together, but neither one of us have money for divorce attorneys ($5g's & up). My family enjoys intimidating me telling me that he will stop paying the bills one day when he gets a girlfriend and the girlfriend tells him not too. They tell me how stupid I am that I have not divorced him and moved on. We have a one year old child. He does not want full or partial custody. He is happy with visitation since I let him see the child anytime he wants to see the child. But, people do have a point since a year is a year.

I just don't know if they are right and I should divorce him at any cost or I am right sticking it out in case we get back together.

Please help this monkey!
