"How do you go halves in a dog or a house on the beach?"
Another milestone, another sign of things resolving - today we sat down and divided our possessions.
It's strange how, when it comes down to it, it's a relatively simple thing to do. Or maybe it's a part of my whole nomadic thing that I've never had much of a grip on material possessions; I have my bike and my iBook, and my music and I'm happy. But we did the dividing (on paper) in a very civilised way - *grins* we were trying to give each other stuff rather than both making claims to it. But I'm glad it's done, because I can stop making those lists in my head, of What's Mine and What's His, and I don't have to put up with Mum telling me to make sure he doesn't rip me off.
Something I was saying to Mel yesterday - to me, this whole thing has never been about sides. Yes, he makes me angry and frustrated and sad, but I don't hate him. He's not the Bad Guy. But people keep trying to make this about sides - I guess it's how they deal with the situation themselves - and it makes it all the harder to deal with.
Of course, it's not that unusual a conclusion to come to, that he's evil, when you read previous LJ posts. Especially those around August/September. But I reserve the right to be contradictory. ;)
Another step closer to truly separating. After all this time, it feels strange to think he won't be underfoot all the time.
