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.

I think that selling his large house is a wise decision, bad memories are now attached to that house.

@DianneN It is really a shame that he sold his other house. He needs something smaller, men do not need a large house, something more simple is better.

@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.

He doesn’t think much about the bad times. Only the good. The house is ridiculously large for one single guy. He wants something smaller and less ostentatious. Too bad he sold his other house because of that cheater.

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.

I can certainly understand his feeling. He needs anew dwelling that is not crammed full of memories, good and bad.

Exactly! He loves being close to us, but hasn’t thought much about where he’d like to live except Boston. If he moves that far from us, we’re moving, too!

@DianneN I bet the place brings back bad memories of her and then he has memories of Kuma and Doodles. I can understand why he would want to sell the house and start all over again.

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

It is a beautiful home, but I think if it were me, I would sell it too. She may be gone, but the house they got together and memories are still there - every day of seeing it must be a reminder to him of what "was".

I hope his house sells swiftly so he can get to the task of finding a home that is a perfect bachelor pad. All he needs is a kitty or pup.

He won’t put it on the market until he decides where he wants to live, but he definitely intends to downsize. No pets for him at least for now.

He wants to downsize no matter what, but doesn’t know where he wants to live, yet. If his life changes, he could always buy another beautiful house. There are so many gorgeous houses around.

I agree. He loved this house, but wants to downsize. He only lives in three rooms, so wants to downsize. If his life changes, he can always buy another house. With his new raise, he can buy one three times the size.

@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.
