Moving Out After A Breakup

Does the Ashley Madison data release scandal affect you?

With the recent scandal of the leaked data from the world’s leading affair site Ashley Madison, it has got us thinking, what is the best way to move out after a split?

It is not an easy thing to do as you are already in a stressful situation however at the end of the day if you come to the decision to move out, and you want to do so quickly then here are some tips.to make the process a little easier:

• Do you own a place together? If you do, you need to seriously think about what you are going to do with it. Are you going to sell it? Are you going to rent it out? You probably don’t want to continue living there as it could bring back too many memories and it could be awkward for any new partners knowing you two used to live there together or own the property.
• Stay with family or friends- During the moving out time when you haven’t found a permanent place to live, move in with family of friends, even if that means crashing on their couch. You need time to think alone and your ex-partner will most likely need the time to think also.
• Set the moving date- This is very important, you need to choose a set date and not make it a flexible one. If you do not set a date, it is likely you will continue postponing it and not make it a priority. Once the move out is completed, you will feel much better and be happy that you finally went ahead with it.
• Have a friend help with the move out – It will be much easier to pack up your items and move them out with a friend or a group of friends. They will help you know you are not alone in this and you have support. It also allows you to have a bottle of wine and pizza while you are packing up.
• Don’t move next door or to an upstairs unit- Apparently this is very common for people who are moving out, just to move next door or to a unit in the same complex. This might seem like the easiest thing to do as it is a small distance and they may be the same real estate agent so they are aware of your credit history. However in the long term, this can create awkward situations and may even not allow you to get over the break up.
• Organise to move at separate times- You both need to organise separate days to move out of the place. If this is not possible, choose different times in the day. The place could end up being very crowded and could turn into an environment with a lot of tension.
• Who gets what- When you are deciding who gets what, you need to visualise your life without that thing. Will you survive without that item? Or, will your bank account survive needing to purchase another one?
• Happiness- You need to constantly remember you are doing this for your own happiness and most likely your partner’s happiness also. It may be tough in the present but in the long run it will be all worth it.
