I was browsing market place and came across a familiar looking group of books My abusive delusional ex husbands girlfriend is selling them for £5!! It did upset me as one is sentimental. (I need to forget and smile ) but its just so Bloody annoying what do you all think...... ( Also selling our Mirror from the living room ) Oh well is my standard thought but deep down Im fuming!

Why did you not take your stuff when you left? YABU as you left them

Have you actually read the OP's posts ? He locked her out.

There are some absolute cunts on this thread.
Maybe deliberately???

Cant believe comments. When i left i took my toddlers, my handbag and a nappy bag. He threw all my photos in a skip, including a photo of my friend who had died.

Op, stuff is stuff, you're free. Treat yourself to a new book. 💐

When my ex and I split up there were some things we had made for a shared hobby which I left with him as it was more his thing than mine, and at that time were painful reminders.
Didn't stop me being shocked when I found out he later sold everything related to that hobby.

Hugs!!

My books also mean the world to me. I hope your son can get them back.

It’s sounds like you have been through a very rough time of things.

Some people are so ignorant. If you have never left an abusive relationship you have no idea. I had to be police escorted with limited time when leaving. It would have been impossible to take everything. My priority was essentials and my children’s belongings. He has since moved and carries my stuff along with him that I left. It’s all about control and silly games. I replaced the stuff, wasn’t worth giving him the satisfaction. He has agreed to return it on a couple of occasions to no avail. Not holding my breath! Can’t put a price on freedom.

If it's just £5, just buy it back, or ask someone to buy it for you? You don't need to go through potentially unpleasant situation just by paying £5, that's well worth paying £5?

I walked out of my house after splitting from my ex and left the sale in the hands of solicitors. I took some clothes but left everything else behind as he threatened to ‘fix my brakes’ if I didn’t leave.

He stayed in the house and dragged the sale out just to be difficult. A couple of months after leaving I spotted our furniture being sold online!! Courtesy of his new girlfriend. She then threw out a lot of my things. I was fuming and really shocked a mature woman (and man!) could behave like that. He had my phone number, email, work number and solicitor details so all he had to do was send me a message saying he’d boxed everything and I needed to pick it up.
