Interesting post robx. My W plans on going by the house some time during the week to grab some things. She has been out of the house for a few weeks now - she was at her parent's house, but yesterday decided to move into a house that her brother-in-law owns (free for her while it is still on the market). She still has some personal belongings at the house such as clothes, artwork, etc.....things I could care less about. Do you think it would be prudent for me to pack up all her stuuf in advance and send her a signal?
UMMM.... yeah!
I would get rid of her stuff, put it in boxes for her, put it on the front porch, contact her by email, tell her that her stuff has been packed up and is waiting for her to pick them up, you did your part to get her stuff out of the house and tell her to enjoy her life because you are finally going to start enjoying yours.
'nuff said.
If she gets all angry, stop her in the middle of her conversation and just say to her "none of this is necessary, just pick up your things and leave please. Thank you"
Prudent has nothing to do with this, take some action that says you're moving on with your life, taking back the home for yourself and you're going to enjoy your single life.
Things to do now that she is out of the house: 1. Paint the main living space, ie. living room 2. Re-arrange furniture 3. Put up some new pics and take down the old ones, remove pics of her
Nothing says moving on like making your place YOUR place
Enjoy yourself during this process, it's very therapeutic.
