I've thought about changing the locks, but I don't think I can legally. He does still own 1/2 of this house. Besides, I've told him that he can have anything he wants, including the house. He keeps saying he doesn't want the house or anything that's been mine. I did tell him again Tues that it hurts me to come home and find stuff gone, that I'd prefer to know what he wants and that I'll help him pack! I asked why he took the Kayak he bought me, after telling me I could have it. He couldn't give me a good answer, he just said he wanted it, and I said that's fine-and never let on that I know OW has her own Kayak. I know in my heart he took it to prove something to her.
I think I'm doing pretty good on the exterior. I'm happy not to talk to him, and for the most part I can hold it together in front of people, BUT, sometimes I have to go sit in my car at work and cry. I feel like I'm on the brink of tears most of the time, like I did when he first dropped the bomb a year ago. I know I will get through this, and it's normal to feel this way as he only just left really.
I have today and tomorrow off, the weather is awful, so I'm going to rearrange some furniture! That always cheers me up!
