I can relate to the feeling of not having someone to lean on - someone to be there for you. I hope the move goes well!

Being alone - during a move - not good. Hang in there. I'm sure the new place will be just fine.

Oh, I'm so sorry you're feeling all sucky! Photos caan dredge up all kinds of feelings we thought were gon, and the stress of moving must totally compound that. I'm not good at giving advice, but I would recommend you just put the pictures away somewhere safe and out of sight, and then just focus all your energy on the moving -- for you realize I am SO coming to visit you in the yuppie village, right?

Oh hon, that's rough. If I were in your shoes I'd send him the pictures. What harm would that do? You wouldn't even have to include a note and since you're moving he won't be able to find you (if you don't want him to) by using your old address. Sometimes it's the most painful memories that are the hardest to let go. *hugs*

Hang in there, darlin'. In my Pollyanna world, you're doing great. Just think, you're moving--which gives you a chance to slough old stuff (both physical and mental). You're going to be in a place with trees and loveliness. You won't have to contend with Hell's air condtioner, the landlords o' doom, and you'll be leaving something lovely behind (i.e. your sunflowers) for the next person. You're really doing well. Be brave, little buckaroo. **!X

Sometimes nostalgia is hard.

Try to remember the brook and the sunporch of the new place and the God-awful noise of the current place. It will be a hassle for a few days and then, Voila! You'll be all settled in a much better place. As for the photos, I'd save one or two and trash the rest and, yes, it's hard to be on your own but you have more company in that than you realize.

I think the move is going to be better for you than even you think. Save the best photos - let go of the rest.

Nostalgia has a way of dancing in your head long after the music has stopped. Don't worry - you'll find your way.

I think if I were you I'd send him the pictures, just to get rid of them. I might keep one just to have a memory of someone I had loved, but that's because I have pics of almost everyone I've ever gone out with. And I think I'd put a note with them too, to show I was above it all and not feeling anything; something totally non-committal, like "found these laying around my house and thought you might like to have them" - so long, sayonara, move on to your bigger and better things.

wow...i'd be nervous too. Moving is never really easy for anybody, even if you have help/someone to depend on. But don't let that stop you from moving...if you know that this move will be better for you, then I say go for it. Hope all goes well.

Well, I am with the others who say keep one that you really like and send him the rest. That way you have the nice picture of someone you cared about, but all the pictures with the bitchwife and painful memories are gone (well, out of sight, at least). And the loneliness? My god, do I know that feeling. All too well.
