Ginger,

It was a doodlerism. I was just kidding (thus the smiley face). My wife would've kicked me in the nuts if I'd done that. Actually, should would've kicked me in the nuts for just about anything.

doodlerism: To make a dumb-ass, outlandish and sometimes sarcastic comment.

And Ginger, yes, I do prefer you to Mary Ann. smile

If I had to do it over again, I'd insist that she clean-up behind any large furniture that she takes. Just a little tip for anyone that has a spouse that's moving-out. smile


Random thought here,

If the dust build up was over the course of the M, why would it be the responsibility of the WAW? Just because they took furniture, you saw the dust, but it was there all along.

The Keurig: you don't use it, you were making a point I see. My ex agreed I could keep everything except his stupid TV. I couldn't fit the couches up the stairs in my new place, so I offered them to him. I couldn't have a washer/dryer in my new place, so I gave them to him.

My point is, I was one p!ssed off woman who wanted nothing more than vengeance. But I felt it pointless over those things. I realize in retrospect, those things would hurt my chances of reconciliation. I fought my battles where they were really truly important to me.

I completely get it. But it does get exhausting, the arguments over the little things. Just some food for thought.


It IS exhausting lol. But in the end, she finally understood the point I was making and I think it was a win for me. I let her have it. Because, really, I didn't want it. Reconcilliation is my end game here.

QUESTION, so I know that my W won't stop bugging me about getting the login info for my mom's netflix/HBO account. My end game is reconciliation here, so how can I politely tell her that I don't want to give that to her. Its quite trivial, I know, but I feel every move needs to be calculated from here out.

DigIt,

Tell her you'll give her the login if she'll pay you 9.99 a month.

Seriously, your end game is reconciliation, but you're putting too much thought into this. It's your mom's login; just say, "No, it's not mine to give away."

You're right, I am putting too much thought into it. Though I don't think its right to ask her for $ either, since technically, I don't pay for it directly.

DigIt,

I'm sorry, that "9.99" sentence was a joke; it was my attempt at humor.

DigIt,

No problem; I've been there myself over the past few months. Sometimes it's difficult to see the humor in anything when your world is crumbling.

I hear ya. I gotta say though, yesterday was a good day. I purchased some new furniture and started getting my house back in order. The dogs love the new couch laugh

I'm taking it a little at a time and I'm sure to get the house back into proper shape. It will take time to re-aquire wall decorations, but that's half the fun!

Just really still focused on myself and making myself a better person. I have a couple tattoos that have bothered me the past few years, so i'm getting those removed. Continuing to exercise, continuing with GAL and keeping W out of my head as much as possible.

if it was your login, that's one thing, but it's your mom's.

I would say you don't feel comfortable giving out your mother's login info. You can kindly explain either she could contact your mother directly (which I bet she won't do) or she can sign up for her own accounts.

Not unreasonable.
