Recall Cheryl advised get your stuff as a sign you've moved on. When in doubt, go to exact words of Coach.

Don't mess around prolonging it.

Also, it MAY be possible that you are getting off a little on her sudden repeated contacts (perhaps you'd like to enjoy the attention a bit longer? Just a thought, I know I would if roles were reversed).

This is my recent lesson I've learned on the forum. Don't overthink. Don't try to mindread. This applies to your postulations regarding her response to a small screen VS a large screen. You will never know what she's thinking. Do not try to mind read or speculate on how your actions will effect her. Just forget. I've been doing it for years, and I've learned nothing.

You have a goal to get your stuff. Do not revamp the plan for all of these new excuses. Just go get the TV, and as much other stuff as possible. Forget about what she's thinking.

Even better, bring a truck, and take more than was expected.

No more mind gaming in your head. You are doing GREAT! I proud of you.

I have screwed up this week. And am very ashamed of myself. But I have learned a lot - especially about this mindreading concept. That stupid thing has taken up so much time in my head, only to be terribly stressful, and confusing, as well as completely MEANINGLESS and FRUITLESS. Hope this helps, Yas

PS. Please keep sharing Cheryl's advice!
