Nearly 5 months after separating fuck face is finally moving out.

Some of you will know the back story, years of withholding sex, being an arsehole etc etc

It's been a long time coming, and quite honestly it's got to a stage where we actually hate each other, but at least I'm looking onto this day with excitement and relief. I certainly won't be crying into my pillow tonight.

I know it's not going to be easy, but I know I will have a happier, calmer life now.

yay!

AbigailAdams · 26/06/2012 07:30

Good luck! Savour the moment and the large glass of wine when he is finally gone

This is the first day of the rest of your happier life.

Frontpaw · 26/06/2012 07:54

Good luck with it all. As the saying goes "today is the first day of the rest of your life..."

CurrySpice · 26/06/2012 07:59

Good luck and well done! Hope today goes smoothly and calmly

Lueji · 26/06/2012 08:06

Best wishes for today. :)

You are on your way to becoming FABULOUS again!

Don't be surprised if you end up sobbing in your pillow anyway. Emotions can run high, even when it's something you really want. That said, best of luck.

Anniegetyourgun · 26/06/2012 09:41

Massive relief when the arsehole is out of your life, oh yes! But don't be surprised if you do actually get a bit weepish at some point down the line. It won't be him you miss, it'll be those hopes and dreams you thought were already buried. It'll be a good cry though - good clean honest mourning.

Tonight, though - tonight is Freedom Night. And you will be happy.

Anniegetyourgun · 26/06/2012 09:41

X-post Cogito, that'll teach me to type quicker!

Have you planned something tonight. All the things he doesn't like, when and how you like in the freedom of your home

mistlethrush · 26/06/2012 09:46

So, when's the party? Grin

sassy34264 · 26/06/2012 10:03

oh, i remember my freedom day like it was yesterday (10 years ago)

i bought myself a bottle of vodka and went around each room looking at everything I owned/earned and smiled my head off at the pure happiness i felt.

i didnt weep at all- not even when i fell down the stairs and bruised my butt. Blush Grin

enjoy it.

Kaluki · 26/06/2012 11:05

Freedom day - love it.
Mine was the best day ever - he came and got all his stuff and what he left behind I put out by the bins.

He drove away and I did a little victory dance around the house!!
Grin
Enjoy!!!

Geordieminx · 26/06/2012 12:00

I know the house is gonna be in shit state when I get back. He's gonna take what he wants and leave all of his junk. I have black bags though.

I can promise you I will not shed a tear for this arsehole. Despite him today deciding that what we had initially agreed is now off, meaning I will have to fight him for everything.

He has lost everything. He can't hurt me anymore.

Well the house is mine Grin

He doesnt appear to have taken anything that he shouldn't have, although the bawbag has left the fathers day card and money box that ds gave him Sad

Have bought new bedding and a big bottle of bleach for MY spare room. Grin

Good news.

Enjoy it. :)

akaemmafrost · 26/06/2012 18:35

My ex did everything abusive it was possible to do in a marriage. I asked him to leave many times. In the end he went and I have to say I felt AWFUL, for about a week. Then gradually got used to it. However when I thought about him moving back in that felt even WORSE!

So like others have said be aware that you might have a few down moments, it's perfectly normal.

After that things will just go gradually up.

MushroomSoup · 26/06/2012 19:01

Enjoy your first stress free night!

AnyFucker · 26/06/2012 19:08

Great news!

ImperialBlether · 26/06/2012 20:47

Good riddance! I hope you've thrown away the present and card from your DS, though - it would be awful if he saw them.

AnyFucker · 26/06/2012 20:51

I see everything GM Wink
