You are correct that couples shouldn't buy "above" what they can afford. However, you don't know that this was the case. You have no idea how much the Husband that left made, and he lost his job too before he bailed on her. If he made $70 k as well and they didn't have a bunch of other bills, maybe that was not too much house. I/O maybe not the right mortgage though.
