Ho Ho Holiday Hoovers

So today I get home and there's a business card stuck in my door. "Can we talk? I will send all your things. I am going to --------- tomorrow. I know I did you wrong". I open my e mail about an hour later & there's a message from him sent a few hours earlier " Can we talk? Are you still upset ? i can understand , but it has been a while . I am sorry for how I treated you ".

One year ago yesterday he packed up a moving van with a lot of things from my home and drove 1/2 way across the country to the place we had planned to winter at. Many of the items were brand new & expensive. When he pulled out of my driveway, I had this awful feeling that I would never see him again. He was giddy with excitement as opposed to his usual sulkiness. I planned to fly down after X-Mas and during that month apart, he grew critical & distant.

I knew I had to confront his behavior. When he told me he was dating other women I was hysterically crying & I hung up. I called him back later & he wouldn't answer the phone. What a coward! The next day he sends me to long apology, didn't want to hurt me, cares a lot about me, wants to be friends blah blah blah. Then proceeds to tell me all of my faults that led to the break up.

I went NC then. Took him to court to get all my stuff back. I won, he appealed. Now we have a higher court hearing scheduled soon. I bumped up the damages b/c the case will be heard de novo. This past year he has hoovered a few times a month in different ways. Once the judgement came down suddenly he wants to return all my stuff. Now that he's leaving town, I'm sure he wants to charm me into dropping the case on the basis that he w/return my things.

Hmmm, What to do? Well this is a no brainer. Lack of planning on your part does NOT constitute breaking NC on my part. So he will either have to come back for the hearing, or if he chooses to not show up, well I win by default. Either way, I win. It would have been so much easier for him to just man up and give me my stuff back, but no, he is above the law. Poor guy!
