Here's my suggestion. If you can hold off another weekend, do so. Tell her you are itemizing what she can have an writing it down for the L. Even if you don't have one, take charge and just mention that.
After you've written your list, send it to her. If she approves, take those items, put them into boxes and have them waiting for her outside of the home so things don't mysteriously "walk away". Right now, you need to show that you are in control and she's not the one who has your balls in her pocket right now.
It's okay to keep things light and friendly, but for the possessions, business is business.
Or if you do intend to have them come into your home, remove all pictures of you and your wife from the home. Show that you're not concerned anymore. In fact, it would help if you were in the middle of painting your Master Bedroom as they come in.
She may be proud of having a place of her own, but so do you.
Wow, I love these suggestions Bond. Man I really don't look forward to the day if/when my W finally decides to leave but I hope I can keep you in my ear.
Do you by chance have audio recordings of these tips, possibly in .MP3 format that I could put on my iPOD?
Seriously though I think this is fantastic advise.
FOBD I think I would also have a hard time not telling my W that it was the last time she was in the house. Is the house in your name only or both of your names? Our house in both of our names so I'm not sure if I could legally do that. I'm going to save the feedback from Bond to use in my case if needed.
