So, you’ve decided to leave this man. Isn’t the sale of the house the perfect time to do that? Let him go on his cruise by his damn self. If you want to be really kind, let him move into the new apartment with all the furniture, but don’t pay for storage. Haven’t you done enough?

I know you’re worried about how he will react if you drop the bomb, but I don’t see how it’s going to be any less bad if you first get settled into your new home.

Your thread seems to be full of: Once this is over I can… and First I have to get this out of the way… and The only hurdle left now is… You know what you gotta do. Do it now. Do it.

The stress factory will stop production as soon as you pull the plug. Then you’ll be able to start clearing out. May as well start.

I know you’re scared. I know it’s going to be hard. This is only my take, follow your own advice, of course. Be well.
