Finally leaving

My gf is away and coming back tomorrow evening, basically spent the entire weekend packing all my belongings and putting them into storage so that it would be easy just to get go when the time comes. Feels very surreal doing this at all. The last thing to do is to break the news that I want to break up with her. I have no idea how I would go about doing it.

If you want to keep most your stuff unbroken or destroyed it probably be best to move it all out first. Some people take breakups really really bad. 😬

@SarithBorn Yeah this is what I did when I made up my mind to divorce my husband. He got a job out of town for the better part of the week and I was gone. Didn’t have nearly as much stuff as I do now. But the moment I woke up in the morning I started packing up and loading my car and driving it to town to the rent house, unloading the stuff and going back home. Three trips before having to be at work at 4 p.m. I asked my manager on the third day if I could take a couple hours off to get my freezer and my daughter’s bed & mattress and he said “Shoot take the whole night off if you are moving”. I hadn’t told him what I was doing until then. My ex is a narcissist and I didn’t want an ugly scene with our daughter there if I left when he was there.

@cherokeepatti It's just the smart thing to do, 😇

@SarithBorn Not something that I liked doing but thought it was for the best. I was going to yard sales to find yard tools and other things that I needed and overheard an older woman tell another woman that she left her ex that same way.

@cherokeepatti If the person in question is stable you could tell them before you leave. 😇

@SarithBorn He would argue in circles about everything. I wouldn’t say he was stable. He didn’t act like he wanted to be married but he didn’t want me to leave either. I had asked him to go to counseling and he just laughed and pointed at me. At that point I knew it was all over. Coming home at night after I was asleep and cursing me for a long time while I pretended to be asleep and all that type of thing. If he wanted me to stick around he wouldn’t have done that.

@cherokeepatti Doesn't sound like a happy relationship 😬

@SarithBorn He is a narcissist, he’ll never be happy with anyone. As soon as he feels comfortable he starts up.
