Is it true that if I leave the marital home we own I could lose my rights in it , so I should 'stay put' even though I am suffering with my husband?

No! This is a myth - your rights in marital property are not affected in any way if you leave the property , whether your departure is justified or not. There is often confusion over this - in Jewish law a wife who leaves the marital home unjustifiably can lose her rights to her own maintenance, during the marriage. This, however, has  nothing to do with her  property rights, which remain unaffected by her departure.
