Left Behind Newlywed

[Pluto]

Well, I helped when she asked for it, and generally tried to stay out of her way... I didn't argue about her taking things she wanted to take, just told her that it was fine and thanked her for letting me know.

I couldn't STFU about the picture though, and made a comment along the lines of "I'm glad you're so proud to be moving out of our house that you're taking pictures to share with all your friends" then followed it up with "I think that's horrible and very disrespectful, as I'm really upset by all of this"

She told me she wasn't happy at all and it was pathetic that all of her possessions fit into 8 bags.

I then asked her to return a card of mine (just a discount card for some stores) and she told me I'd have to get it deactivated. We argued about this (stupid) and then I went back inside and took the house keys from her key ring.

She noticed (obviously) and pointed it out. I simply told her that since she doesn't live here anymore, she won't need them. She protested that she did... followed by she hated me so much, that I was stealing her home from her, and that she hoped I crash and burn in my car.

From there, she went into a total meltdown, bawling her eyes out and hyperventilating for a good 20 minutes. Painful to watch, there was nothing I could do at that point... I did bring her some water and gave her some space to calm down.

She pulled herself together after 30-40 minutes, gathered the rest of her things that she was taking, and left.

What a horrible day.. and I'm mad at myself for how things went... so no, I don't feel as though I did so great after all.

Thanks for the kind words, though.
