Wife says "NO" and acting like I have no rights

[asitis]

In addition, there are things she left behind that I figure is not important or useful to her (no pun intended...lol). Should I give her the courtesy of asking her if she wants it or should I just get rid of the items?

Can you make a collage out of the pieces of the stuff? That might be a creative and cathartic use for it.

I would just make a list, send e-mail w/ list saying I assume you don't want this stuff, so unless you tell me otherwise I'm going to donate or throw them out.

I'd be tempted to tell her to come get it and do what she wants w/ it, as you should have to waste your time on her detritus. But, that is probably more grief than it's worth & probably not skillful DBing.
