I understand. I have a foreclosed place that I have worked on and have a fair amount of equity in. Hard to do, but may make a better tradition in case of worst happening. Very hard to sell though too, last piece of our togetherness, and feels like I am giving up, and moving on. Hopefully will help with that, and finally be able to say, I can make it on my own period. I don't need anyone, but would sure love it to be her. And from reading you thread, I also agree with not being able to just out it on a shelf and box it away. At least not yet, nor dating another. Would make me sick.
