I get it. How hard it is seeing his things leave the house. How something of his can trigger all kinds of feelings. How raw your emotions are.
My H packed up his things. Took a lot, but left a lot stored in our home. He just recently asked for 2 of these things. One last weekend. One this weekend. First time he asked for anything he’s left since he moved out 1 1/2 years ago.
It bothers me. I wonder what taking them means. I get all emotional. Than I stop myself and get on with my day.
Your H was rushed in his packing. It’s probably as simple as he didn’t get it done. I don’t believe he has any idea how taking care of this would affect you. I don’t think they can think beyond their own needs.
It’s good you followed through with what you agreed to do. We are human. Let your thoughts and emotions spiral for a minute. Than put it aside and get on with your day.
