Infidelity Support Group
Any relationship in which one partner engages willfully in sexual relations with another outside of the partnership is considered to have experienced infidelity. This breach of trust is often traumatizing for the faithful partner as well as the relationship, and support is often needed to heal emotionally and to decide whether or not the relationship should continue after...
I have had to pack and put out my STBX's stuff for her cuz she won't get it, just like urs won't. And, she texted me to "leave her $h!t alone!" It sux having the reminders left behind, and you're probably on point about him waiting to see if it'll work elsewhere, etc.
If all his stuff fits in the car...offload it! What'd happen if you teld him to get it or you'll have it towed? That'll get him motivated.
Your next step should be to pack the car, and drop it off at his work like you said.
I think you are finally finding your anger. Good! I agree with ImDealing, do not put the ball in his court on this one. Pack his crap and send it on its way, however you can accomplish that. When my H left me and I could see that my attempts to get through to him were going nowhere fast and just making me look like a fool, I started packing his crap. Then I'd have it sitting on the driveway when he came by for the kids or something. It was nice having a second closet to myself for awhile ;)
Anyway, hang on to that anger for a little while. In my opinion, it serves a purpose in situations like these. For you, it means finally freeing yourself of someone who does not deserve you. Set the example for your daughter. Show her what it means to be a strong, confident woman.
YOU GO, GIRL!!!!
If he told you to go ahead and tow it...wouldn't that be a natural consequence...his Karma? He's calling you on it, and if you don't tow, he'll keep using u. He could have a friend pick it up and park his car and put his stuff in storage. He has options...why should u be the option when you don't want to be. That would be enabling of you. I'm a firm believer in tough love...you loved, he left, maybe now it's time to be tough.
My STBX used and used me til I started being assertive. Just sayin...
No idle threats. Feel free to make promises...and walk away well.
Nice PomPons, Nat!
