We had made an arrangement that my ex hubby would come and get all his big furntiture today with a hired truck. The problems started as soon as he arrived. Four members of his family had come to help,plus two kids. A police officer was there too. I asked ex hubby why he didnt me who was coming from his family and that I wouldnt let in people who were feeling negative towards me or who were not friendly. I also asked where the digital camera was? He got aggressive quickly and pushed open the door and stood in an aggressive posture (you know, up close & menacing.) Eventually the police officer had to get one of ex's sisters to come in and talk to me. She was okay, but I let the 4 family members know that they should have let me know they were coming, as I have a right to know who was inside my house. A little later I asked ex about the digital camera which Im claiming is ours, not his before the marriage. He had refused to bring it with him, nor did he return my gardening gear. I had a printed copy of info regarding the camera, kindly supplied by a My Lot member. He threw it away. Items that we agreed on were removed. I gave his family coffee. Then came the bookshelves. I had written to ex suggesting that I have two bookshelves, in return for the $270 he owes me. He hadn't replied, nor had his lawyer. Plus, he kept going on about the Wii I was to buy him. I had one on layby, and had texted him during the week saying I would be able to pay it off and get it next tuesday. He hadn't replied to that. He tried to twist everything. He got angry and picked up the big rug which he had said I could have in exchange for the Wii. I was not strong enougfh to get it off him. By then, I had enough. I told the police that ex and hius family had to leave. At that stage, ex was at the bookshelves, with his nephew throwing books out. I told the nephew to stop and he wasn't exactly cooperative. Ex then started shouting that he doesnt owe me $270. The Police Officer had to ask ex to leave a few times, before he would cooperate. Now that means ex will have to come back and get the rest of his gear. He says he doesn't have to tell me who he is bringing with him, in my house. As if... I think he has a block on text messages from me, hence he may not have got the Wii one... I posted him a letter 10 days ago with my offer for exchange of goods. No reply from him or his lawyer. What a mess...My daughter walked out when it all got agro and went to the shops. I kind of felt sorry for the police officer who was trying hard to settle things.

It sounds like a horrible experience. To bad you will have to go thru it again. I would say it might be better if you weren't there, but if not who knows what he'd take. Maybe you could get a friend or someone to be there. He doesn't sound very co-operative, I guess most people aren't. I was lucky in that respect, my ex and I didn't fight over anything. I took what I brought into the marriage. I had a house that I kept when we moved and I just told the tenant he had to leave. It is a good thing the police were there or who knows what they might have done. I would feel sorry for the police officer also. He probably felt he was in the middle, maybe not, maybe he did that kind of stuff all the time with that kind of job.

Last night I received an email from very close friends of ours, also a phone call the nighht before from them. Apparently my ex sent an email to some friends. Our friends were totaly disgusted at what my ex wrote. They have emailed him with a very strongly worded statement about how they dont like being lied to.

You may well be right there. Some things are not going to be worth a long term fight over with him, as he is so unreasonable and erratic.

From how you discribe your ex it'll be a relief to you when it's all over. If he is lying to friends and giving you problems maybe it would be better to just write off the things he owes you. It sounds like he's not going to give them to you without a fight anyway. Maybe you have to decide if the things you want are worth putting up with abuse from him.

I was hoping also that it would pan out.. ie. become a amicable separation. But I dont think my ex hubby is capable of that.

give it time jenny. maybe your husband is still in denial about the whole thing. anyway, he will eventually learn to accept it and everything will work out right for both of you.

How terrible for you to have to go throu this just before christmas... I would have been defensive too.. That is so not fair on you... Maybe you should get somebody to help move what is his out onto the naturestrip for him to come and collect....It sounds like a nightmare before christmas for you... I hope it all works out for you and then you can start enjoying yourself and be thankful not to have him controlling you anymore... It must be really hard.... I hope you have a really wonderful christmas and a very happy New Year ahead... All the Best

I could do that with his belongings. But first we have to agree on who has what! I thought we had agreed but as he doesnt reply to letters, etc, I dont really know. I wrote to his lawyer yesterday.

hi jenny I am so sorry for you. what a jerk, next time maybe you should ask for two burly police officers to come and keep out all but the jerk,. better yet get some friends to move all your ex's stuff to his place so he has no reason left to come back at all. maybe some of your relatives could help you out as a sort of christmas gift to you. he sounds like a real jerk. I hope things can get sorted out so you and your daughter can have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New year too.

Usually two police officers come, but only one this time. My guess is he will report back on how it turned out. I only have my aged parents, who couldn't possibly life things, and my brother. He is strong, but my ex wont say where he lives.

What a pain Jenny. It sounds like the sooner you are rid of him the better. At least it doesn't sound like the policeman sided with one of his own.

The police oficer was very good. I felt sorry for him in a way, having to deal with such a difficult situation. I emailed my ex's lawyer today.
