Hija77 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 My ex, who broke up with me after 7 years in a vague text about needing time and space, left a couch here. It's been in my garage for 3 months. We are NC. 100%. I'd planned on waiting for him to contact me about it. Then I decided, through advice here that I never followed through on, that I would give him a time and a date to get it out by. I just couldn't do it! I don't want to break NC, even to return the couch. Sooooooooo, I'm getting ready to sell it. Is that beyond? Honestly, it's been months. Get your things or don't expect them to still be there, right? It isn't about the money. If I had a truck I would've just taken it to the dump. At least if I sell it, someone else will move it, and I can buy myself some new records. We're NOT getting back together, ever, so this is a bridge I'm ok burning. I'm not trying to rip anyone off, but c'mon. We broke up in November. This isn't a storage space. Thoughts?

mtnbiker3000 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Absolutely OK, and the right and best thing to do. He's had three months. And if it was important, he would have gotten it out with the rest of his stuff or the next day. Now, it just serves as a reminder. CL it and buy something for yourself!! I mean, what's it's value? $100 or $200? Or was it a super nice couch ($5K)??
Author Hija77 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 I wouldn't try to get more than $150 for the couch anyway.
seminoles84 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 In my area you can donate to water front mission or Goodwill and they'll come pick it up. This way he can't claim you made money off it. Just a thought. 1
me85 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Right on sister! You're well within your rights to do whatever you please with it, as it's a part of your property by being on your property. If he hasn't contacted you about it after 3 months, he doesn't care.
dyna85 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I say do it. You have the right attitude and your intentions are pure. You gotta do what you gotta do. He had his time to pick it up if it was really that important. NC all the way, baybay.
Ducktape Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 In the words of the late Rick James... **** YO COUCH! 2
Mi7522 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 You are being very patient with him, my ex told me that because I waited a month to contact her about getting my stuff back, even though SHE needed space, she had rid herself of my stuff by the time I asked for it back. I had even mentioned to her during that month what I was looking for but no dice she still got rid of it. I say sell it and treat yourself with the money.
me85 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 In the words of the late Rick James... bahahahahaha! I know that entire episode by heart, I used to watch it over and over.
