Tonight...I'm Cleaning Out My Closet...

Well...I'm literally cleaning out the closets. 

All the toys I gifted this ungrateful dude's daughter are going (don't worry I'm tying not taking it out on those kids, she said she didn't want most of it) and selling some of it and getting my totes back. 

I'm also trying to minimize the 'junk' I'll need to haul and make some extra cash to pay off credit cards, etc. 

I'm making spreadsheets of accounts that are shared so when time comes I can easily change passwords/pull the plug.

Switching my new business over into accounts that he has no control/access to.

It's honestly a freeing experience to know I'm getting closer to freedom with each step. 

And I appreciate everyone on the forum who has read my long a$$ rants ... my bad but thank you Smile .... I stopped talking to my friends and family members as much about the situation unless they ask and I keep it brief (I don't want to talk about it especially with people who don't understand but just in case he tries anything at least people will know and can speak up for me if it ever came to that). 

For the past 2 weeks, my employer has been overworking me and the stress of this situation is making it worse. So I'm going to just power through at work doing the best I can (and maybe some ethical finessing so I don't get on the employer naughty list lol) while searching for other positions that have less of a demand and pay more.

Note to self ... If you ever co-habitate with a dude (don't do it) .... do not bring your furnishings in. 

I realize a good 80% of the furnishings in this house are mine. So the ingrate Disneyland dad is not only going to have to go back to doing 100% of everything he's also going to have to buy lamps, dishes, nightstands, cleaning supplies, vacuums, etc. LOL!!! 

What a grade A idiot! 

But I'm the idiot for helping a cheap ingrate misogynist furnish a house I don't own and giving him false sense of ownership in items he didn't invest in.

Absolutely be under the radar.. my EX cleaned out our savings (that had just had a 20K bonus from MY job deposited).. when I told him I wanted to split.. he did eventually put the money back.. but don't leave any of your funds where he can access them.

I actually didn't plan on the breakup happening when it did.. so I was caught flat footed.. don't do that!

Yikes! Sorry that happened to you. Thank goodness he put your money back. 
 

I hate how people don't just willingly and peacefully move on

This dude demanded joint bank accounts a while back but I refused.

You are a planner and that makes all the difference in exiting stage left.

And definitely will be using some of your phrases on others (think itchB lol). Something you mentioned resonated with me here "I don't talk to my friends or family as much unless they ask". I had the same lonely journey (except for having my people here at STalk). I'm one of the only one of my friends to have had stepchildren, and even my best friend would often respond from the viewpoint of a stepchild or of a mom, but not a stepmother. It's not an easy journey, but I'm thankful for steptalk. I feel like I could come here and vent, and people understood me. I just wish there was an IRL option to hang with the people here! I woulda be downing that tequila all in my woes!
