If I remember correctly, it was his grandfather who had built it and he has a lot of love and respect for the man. Yes, it's also the same house where his drunkard father lived and hurled his abuses. Yes, it's also the same house where his mother was continuously beaten and eventually died. But it's also the same house where he got married to Imarti. It's the same house where he got a new perspective on life and a newfound respect for women. Not to mention, Imarti lives in every single corner of that house. There wouldn't be a single space that she wouldn't have touched with her presence. On his lonely nights, when he looks into these spaces, he must be hit with a thousand and one memories of her.
Re: himself - in some ways, he considers himself to be a failure when it comes to the women in his life. He failed to save his mother as a child, and he failed to save his wife as a husband. In both situations, there wasn't much that he could have done. If he had intervened as a child, then his dad's anger and violent ways would have been targeted on him. As a husband, there wasn't much that he could do to make Imarti's delivery a success. That was literally out of his hands. There are a lot of underlying issues with him that haven't exactly come to the surface but I think we'll be getting some answers soon.
I think HS' resistance comes partly from the fact that no one truly understands how deep his pain goes. They can guess at it, but the intensity of it can only be felt by him. No one else can understand it. So when Naeem Bi tells him it's time to move on, he understands her sentiments but he can't abide by them because it's not easy. Imarti was Imarti. He just can't let go of her even if he wants to.
