When You Throw Someone Out of the House

Our younger son is divorced and doing well.
However, once he threw his wife out of the house for being a cheater and a liar, he also stopped decorating.
His sitting room was the last room he, not his ex, was decorating. He
stopped caring. This is as far as he got when I last saw it.
He is thinking about selling his beautiful, large house. I don’t blame him.

He probably should sell it. Get a new place for a total fresh start and be gone with lingering negative memories.

@LadyDuck It is a shame. That was his first house which he bought brand new and all on his own.
He doesn’t need much in life to make him happy. We will have to wait and see what he decides to do. He’s very close to us and tells us everything. Some things we don’t want to know.

Rattling around in a huge house by yourself doesn't make too much sense, altough my former mother in law did it for many years. Part of the time she had two larger dogs though so it kind of made sense for her though. Maybe he should move someplace close to work.

@DianneN Two people makes more sense than one, besides they probably had guests. Boston isn't that far you will see him all the time if he goes there.

@snowy22315 You’re right! Boston is less than 3 hours from us and will give us an excuse to visit more often. We all love it there.

Our best friends live in a 5200 square foot home and it’s just the two of them. They happen to like large houses.
Our son really doesn’t need such a huge house anymore. He’s going to look for something smaller and less ostentatious when he’s ready. He isn’t far from his business now. I just hope he doesn’t move to Boston, which he’s thinking about. Kind of like moving to Brazil as far as I’m concerned.

it is hard when that relationship you planned the rest of your life on, goes away.

It is a good idea. He should not have anything that reminds him of her. There are lots of beautiful houses.

@DianneN And probably we will get something better for a bachelor. Maybe nearer his job.

@marguicha He’s not far from where he works now, but a smaller house won’t cost so much in taxes and upkeep.

Selling might be a good idea even though he probably hates leaving that beautiful house.

@DianneN as @JohnRoberts and others have said... A fresh start is good

I am sure that is what I would do too, the memories are still there, the pain is still there.

That looks like a nice sitting area. The house is much too big for him alone.

@amitkokiladitya He only wants a female companion. He says he’s not interested in marriage. Time will tell.

Selling could be a good idea. Make all new beginnings.

@just4him But can you walk a dog? That’s a problem.
He’d be very happy in any space, no matter the size. The first home he ever bought was brand new. It had 3 bedrooms, a laundry room, and 2 1/2 baths. One of the bedrooms was converted into a kitty room. Now he’s done with pets, too.

@DianneN I can't imagine a raise like that or a house that big. I'd be good with three bedrooms and two baths. Though I love my apartment. It's perfect for me. Though I would love another dog. I miss having a dog. I had a dog for over twenty years.
