The microwave was $95 off the shelf at walmart, yeah, they ranged from like $70 to $200. The beds are for my kids, she is taking our bed. Yeah, I'm shelling out some cash right now, but if a couple thousand dollars makes all this easy, then I'm not worried about it at all. Honestly, I'm getting a check for around $3,000 around the 10th of January, so I can always just pretend I didn't get that and wa-la, I'm out nothing. Easy enough to convince myself of that anyway.
As far as her taking everything, she's not taking anything to be vindictive. The stuff I like, she doesn't, so for example, in my garage (that has been converted to my game room/man cave) I have a custom hexagonal desk with 6 PC's build into it, with a monitor/keyboard/mouse/sound system on each of its 6 sides. It's super nice and worth a bunch of money I'm sure, but it's my LAN party desk, and she has no interest in it, so she's not taking that. I have a couple thousand dollars worth of board games, and a big 8 foot table with chairs to play them on, all staying here. There is a ceiling mounted projector and an actual Smartboard on the wall, plus a big ass arcade cabinet, again, she's not touching any of that stuff. We have a really nice 55 inch TV in the living room I bought earlier this year, and an old 40 inch plasma in the bedroom, she's taking the plasma. So yeah, all the "Guy" stuff is pretty much staying.
She is taking:
living room furniture (a few thousand dollars worth, but she picked it out and I've never liked it anyway)
whatever she wants from the kitchen (I need what, a knife, a pan, a couple of plates and silverware, and a big pot stirring spoon to get by most of the time)
washer and dryer (I'll have to buy new ones, those I need)
all the bathroom stuff (99.9% of which is hers anyway)
the bedroom set (Again, a few thousand dollars, but I can get by with almost nothing for as long as needed)
Kids stuff (We are splitting the toys up, so really, I just need to buy a couple of dressers)
Patio furniture (Don't care!)
So yeah, my house is basically going to be empty except for a pile of entertainment shit.
Someone mentioned me taking it well, and stuff not truning on a dime. It didn't, its been an ongoing decline for 3 years or so. I think we both wanted to go our own ways for a while, but we were trying to stick it out for the kids and because we get along like friends. Yeah, its true she has made some bad decisions this last year, but I feel like a lot of that was self sabotaging, trying to get out without having to be the one to admit she wanted out. I don't know, its super awkward right now, and I just want to put some space between us.
As far as putting it in her butt, thats never been my thing. I've always thought that was pretty fucking vile, and doubt I could even keep a hard on through the process. SEE WHAT A GREAT HUSBAND I AM! hahha
