Advice with WAW

[Dpthght]

OK, update time. W came over to grab a few things and we talked finances. I had specifically asked her to talk to me regarding it in person so there was no confusion and boy was I glad I did. She started off by saying she was going to stop moving stuff out and solely focus on the house buyout and the divorce. I explained to her the only reason I wanted to discuss the finances is because her paycheck is now going into her own account and mine is in the joint (no personal acct for me). I just said we need to split what is in there and then that is it, since all of the bills have been split anyway and also since her rent and my mortgage is due next week. I explained the "paperwork" can come later and is not a high priority on my list of stuff (nor will I be doing ANYTHING to advance it). She simply said "oh, oh yeah that's a good idea and makes sense"

Talked a little more about stuff and then it came to the dogs (I have all the senior dogs). She asked if I wanted to take Penny to the chiropractor and I simply said I can't, not because I think it doesn't help, but I told her it's a money issue (VERY tight budget). She is on medication that controls her pain pretty well so I'm not too concerned about it. A 180 for me would have been to agree but I honestly can't afford that right now until I get a roommate, so maybe a slight setback there. She did say if there is anything I need (help, advice, etc) regarding the dogs to please call her and she will take care of it.

Before she left I gave her the certification for the diamond in her ring (that hurt to do). It was mainly for insurance purposes, but I know she will need it if she wants to sell the ring. I'm glad I did because her response was, "I looked everywhere for it, where was it?" I told her where it was which was with all the house stuff. I gave it to her and said "I don't know if you have sold the ring but you will need this for the insurance policy if you still have it/keep it." She said she hadn't sold the ring (that made me feel better, and I didn't say anything, just nodded my head).

Speaking of which, what do I do with all of the pictures of us around the house and my ring? I was thinking of reusing the frames on most of them, storing the pictures, and keeping the ring in the same place. Is that what most people do? I am not ready for this to be over and I don't know to destroy the pictures out of spite. I know she won't be taking them, so...any advice?

I have my last session with the IC tonight then I am prepping the house to "make it mine" over the weekend. I wish I was good at crafts, which is something I am going to start doing as one of my GALs.

Thanks all
