There’s always a dilemma when people break up and they need to figure out how to divide up all the belongings.
And I think it’s a general rule of thumb to take the things YOU BOUGHT.
But this woman isn’t so sure how to proceed after her boyfriend gave her the walking papers.
Check out what she had to say, and see what you think.
WIBTA if I left my ex boyfriend with nothing?
“My boyfriend of three years broke up with me 6 days ago and we had been living together for a year and a half.
He would be keeping the apartment.
Here’s the catch…
Now the problem is LITERALLY everything, all the essentials for what makes a home, I bought with my own money except for the TV. I may have bought it with the idea it would be for us but now clearly that’s gone.
I plan on saving for a house or something bigger because where I am now is not ideal. I would be saving myself the trouble of starting over with gathering the basics (dining table, bed, kitchenware, furniture, etc.).
It seems like a no brainer but I’ve already had his family attack me for cutting off utilities. Calling me petty and this is why he left me in the first place for being so emotional.
Blocked them afterwards but the thought of what they’re going to say about me when I leave the apartment empty is really bothering me.
She’s not sure what to do next.
Should I just leave everything with him?
Mainly want to take the dining table and bed because it’s an $1,000 I’ve spent without his help.
I don’t know so conflicted because he laughs at these tantrums of mine. Don’t want to give him another reason to laugh at me.”
Who cares if he laughs at her for taking everything. She paid for it. She keeps it. Get a moving truck and take it all!
