I’ve bought a few houses in my life moving around, and never heard of being legally liable for having a home clear. And considering how much stuff I’ve thrown out of the previous owners that was still in the homes I’ve moved too I’m struggling with that one.

So what are the repercussions for you, not her, but for you if you take care of your stuff and she’s on her own with her own stuff?

If she’s unbothered by losing her stuff, why does that mean it needs to bother you?

I honestly read that as one big excuse to maintain contact, but maybe where you are laws are different.

I do want to ask this, if she’s stalling to do anything, which is basically 100% common, and you’re forcing this through why are you here? I don’t mean that negatively, but you can’t save a marriage by forcing a divorce.

And dropping the rope in terms of divorce busting doesn’t change. It has nothing to do with being legally tied to her in anyway. It’s about detaching from her emotionally, which you are not doing.

Your lawyer can handle basically 100% of what you are trying to do, and you’ve gotten nowhere for quite some time, so why not just let your lawyer handle it all? Why reach out in anyway? Why not just have your lawyer do it the first time everything? And that’s a serious question.

And it does bother you, maybe not in the moment you wrote that, but how many updates/entries where you are venting frustration have you made?


I’m not saying this to be mean, just being blunt.
