Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Ohio

Me and my husband are currently separated(unofficially). He put the house up for sale through a realtor and someone has made an offer. I have not signed anything even though I am on the deed as surviving spouse. Do we still have to sell the property since I refuse to sign the listing agreement or the offer?
