Hi- Soooo I am very stressed out. My exhusband was

supposed to move out in 3 days. I come home from work today and he tells me... "Guess what. I'm not moving this weekend. My place isn't going to be ready till the middle of March."

Well ok that is only a couple extra weeks, except for the fact that he finally started packing the other day

and he, so far, he still isn't finished,....but he has

FORTY BOXES OF JUNK FORTY!!! piled up all over the house. Puzzles, games, cards, CRAP!!!

Because what he does when he is manic is spend money like crazy on anything

I can't even vaccuum. Large boxes are everywhere.

He literally had 'stuff' stuffed in 2 attics, garage, in closets, under beds, in dressers instead of his clothes, etc. etc.

I looked at all this junk and said to him... "So you

still think this is just a hobby?" He said yes.

I disagree.

I looked at the piles of stuff and thought, well this is why we never went anywhere on our anniversaries, and this is why our living room furniture is 24 and 14 years old. ALL our excess funds have been spent feeding his obsessions and compulsive spending sprees.

We could have put that money away for our child's college.

Instead, it is moldy books, etc. etc.

Hi Sky, do what I did put it outside in the yard. You can cover it with a tarp, to be nice.

Right on, Norma. Sky, you don't have to keep looking at that stuff. It'll probably make you feel good to put it some place. Maybe a storage unit? in his name that he will have to pay for? He doesn't get to make all the decisions and then dictate to you what will go on. You really do not have to give him that power. my ex was a pack rat and it drove me nuts, and i'm the one with bp, not him. if you're ready, don't wait for him. you are woman, hear you roar!!
Well behaved women rarely make history.

Thou canst not disturb a flower without the troubling of a star...from "Troubling a Star", by Madelaine L'Engle...we all affect one another by our words and actions...it is our choice whether to do so purposefully and positively, or carelessly and hurtfully...may we all bring to one another the peace that we seek...

You go girl, remember the only way someone can take advantage is if you LET them. Just haul it out piece by piece. Feel like as you do it YOUR burden is lighter. Worked for me, honey. And I have never regretted it. Made him mad as hell, though.LOL
