While yes, one owner of property can let friends or guests move in, the other owner does NOT have to move out...or if you are not an owner, you *still* don't have to move out, because one spouse may not exclude the other from the marital home. 

What you can do though in this situation is consult with a divorce or matrimonial attorney, because a divorce and going your separate ways--with you receiving a fair share of the assets, and possibly also spousal support (alimony)--may be the best thing for you.
