Moving is a pain in the booty isn't it? The last time I moved I took it as an opportunity to throw out everything that I DIDN'T need or use anymore. That I would look at and say "why do I have this?"
It's like a cleansing, getting rid of the clutter. Also, what helped me was doing a little bit at a time, rather than all at the last minute.
Listen to Sage. Don't go into your IRA. You can look into a Home Equity Loan or a Bridge Loan. Don't mess with your retirement account - you know better.
Don't IM D in your current state - in fact, don't IM or communicate with him at all right now. Focus on you. Do what is right for you.
Imagine yourself settled into a new place. You can walk away from the old place with your head held high. Visiualize a new life beginning with this move....
Come on girl - you can do it!

David is probably having wild swings of emotions himself. Confused, scared, unhappy. No telling what he's going through.
Don't make yourself an easy target for him and the consequences he must now face.
If you make yourself an easy target, then he won't have to face the consequences of his actions. And it'll be all too easy for him to take out his 'stuff' on you. If you aren't available to be blamed for his stuff...he may just have to face it...by blaming you, he's still running away from facing it. Don't make it easy for him.
Shouldn't David be pretty happy right now? He took back all the stuff he offered to try to help me out. Now I get nothing on dental or insurance and he changed the deal on the house. Plus now he is free and it shouldn't feel so crappy to have sex with J now.
I think my best bet for me is to avoid him and try to forget he was ever a part of my life. But I'm not finding that easy to do. I know with time it will be better and probably being out of the house we bought together, knowing it is going to sell will help me some also.
