House goes on the Market on Monday lilly10: Hi everyone,
I am feeling a little sad about putting the house on the market they will be by to put the sign up this monday and I alreay faxed the realtor all the signed paperwork. When I bought this house I was so proud of myself it was a goal that I had accomplished it was a new chapter in our life. I thought we had it all planned out and then the day came and it all came crashing down. I am just so sad and overwhelmed by all of this. When the house does sell how in the world will I get through moving day. I will be a totol mess I am such a sentimental girl and everything means something to me no matter how big or small it may be. Walking out of the house for the last time will be crushing for me :'( :'(. The memories will be unbarable to think of yet I know they will all be running through my head.
Anyone go through this and have any thing to share about how to pack up my life and move forward from here?? Just feeling down today. :(
Thanks for reading.
Re: House goes on the Market on Monday LifeisBetter: I don't know if this will help you since you said you are very sentimental. When I moved out I had a HUGE yard sale and sold about 99% of what WE owned. It was refreshing and it allowed me to start over and reinvent myself (decorate my ne wplace with my taste, etc).
I have since bought a house on my own and I have been working to re-purchase all the furniture, decorations, etc that I sold. It feels good coming home and knowing all this stuff is MINE, my taste, my money bought it, and I don't have to worry about someone else not liking it.
It will be hard when you move and the last time you walk out of your house, but it is also one chapter of your life closing and another opening.
Good luck with it all.
Re: House goes on the Market on Monday lilly10: Thanks Lifeisbetter!!
I will be keeping alot of the stuff because I picked it all out but we will have to have a yard sale for a lot of stuff because we just have not use for these things without a house.
I hope the next chapter in my life is a good one and ends on a happier note.
Even thinking about the final departure brings tears to my eyes.
Re: House goes on the Market on Monday Irony: Since my wife moved out three weeks ago and took all HER furniture and a lot ow what we had bought together in the past three years, this big old place echoes with emptiness.. she and furniture are gone.
House is on the market..may be under contract by the end of this weekend.
I am sad to still live here with the ghost of her leaving.

Re: House goes on the Market on Monday shockedandamazed: lilly - try to look at is as closure. You can go pick out your own place and own things and he will not have any part of it.
Can only imagine what you are going through, I always pushed for us to buy a house and thought it was a huge accomplishment at the age of 25.
I fought to keep the house and he left almost all of the furniture here, so everything I use was bought by the both of us. So, in a way, it's kind of tainted, but he had good taste, so I really like all of the furniture we have.
There is no way that you can keep the house? I had to look long and hard at my finances (esp since I am working part time, going to school and have the dogs) and found that I would have to pay about the same in rent as I am for a mortgage, so it worked out.
Owning a house was always a big thing for me too.
