Gotta be honest with you dude, the pictures do not help your case-
Forget keeping the house. It's a rental, not a mortgage- leaving it behind all you have to lose is your pride and some nice views. Move in with the wife's fam until you get back on your feet and then get something a little more modest, maybe even buy something so this way if you wind up in another situation where you are both unemployed you can use the equity you've built in your home to keep you afloat.
