The only thing I was sorry my ex took was our nearly new big screen TV, particularly as we were supposed to be paying half each, but I ended up paying and she never gave me her half of it !, and I had only watched it a couple of times.
I did cheer myself up though by going out a couple of days later, and buying one 2" bigger just as a protest

What a relief OP!I agree with the concensus however- don't waste any time in changing the locks.1

Hello all,
Ok, so she did come back and take some more stuff.
Even took the toothpaste, toilet rolls, toaster, my daughters hair dryer and many other bits. But you know what she's gone!
The locks were changed yesterday, my Dad actually did it, bless him.
I blocked her on whatsapp, but then she messaged my over text accusing my son of nicking her apple airpods, which is complete BS. That was enough for me, so I've blocked her number completely now.
That's it.
It's been horrendous, it really has and I won't ever make the same mistake again that's for sure.10 -
Oh! One other thing!
She hasn't offered up the information about where she has moved to, but I know anyway as her daughter is "friends" with my niece on snapchat and apparently there's some location thing on there or something?
They are living in one of the roughest parts of Norwich above or next to a kebab shop. This area really is very rough indeed.
Do you believe in Karma? I think I might be coming round to the idea.2 -
Cheers for all your help! Got my home back

Nice house!!!
Remember, not all relationships are like this, so hopefully this won't have scarred you so badly that you never trust again.
Good luck and enjoy!!How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)2 -
Well done for blocking her, you got off relatively lightly with the things she has taken as the extra things are very easily purchased again, so you did very well there. Hopefully you can buy your daughter an upgrade on her hair dryer, and the other bits are not as important. Lovely of dad to change the locks for you, at least its all over now, hope you can relax now and carry on with your lifeCredit card debt - NIL

Agree not all women are like that. Most of us are pure lovely and wouldn't countenance doing something like that! Appalling behaviour and you're clear of it now I'm unsure about my spine, I think it's holding me back.3
