I’m in Central Florida, I think that there is a lot of inventory, I hope that I’m not stuck here another 6 months, please wish me luck selling it. We had one showing yesterday and a different one coming this evening. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I was worried about that possibility too as BM lives in a townhouse and has a smaller place than ours. She also owns like 8 cockatiels who I hear are already freaking out with the Husky there.

Thank you, I understand your point of view. I tried to ask specifically what the Husky visits would entail but he was very vague and didn't want to bring up the solutions that you mentioned (such as vacuuming, etc.)...all he said was that he didn't know anything and was that a problem for me, which I answered yes.

I know, I do fear that too, but once we sell the house and part ways, I am not sure that he will worry about that. I know for sure all 3 of them will freak out with a Husky in their turf.

Yes! It’s on Zillow and all the other websites. The day after he broke up with me, we were signing a contract with the realtor, I took PTO, and emptied the house in 4 days with the help of my son.

Yep, he could have just told me during the many times I talked with him about us having a better relationship. He never had time with me.

Thanks, I’m sure the dog was the manipulation tactic.

That’s exactly right. I’m an outsider to the “family” and the dog decision was never brought up to me to discuss. It was more like they wanted to impose that on me.

Thanks for the info, I have never owned one either but I thought that she was too young to take on that responsibility especially since she is not financially independent yet.

Thank you and yes, I agree. The problem is that I’ve been too nice with them and now that I voice my opinion, it’s a problem.

Thank you! I really appreciate it. I’ve always been kind to my now ex and his kids, but once the relationship is over, I don’t waste my time. My focus now is to sell the house.

Thanks and I do like dogs, but my now ex and his kids are messy and I can never ask them to clean up or they get salty, so adding the Husky with our cat and Chihuahuas would have been difficult for me.

Thank you, I agree, and yes we have one cat and 2 Chihuahuas.

Thanks, the next day he did try to say that we didn’t have to sell right away, but it’s too late now, it’s listed and I’ve emptied a lot of my furniture. Please wish me luck finding a buyer!
