I was just going to tell. I didn't know if it was coming through the vent or what, but okay. Number two. Jesus. Hi, FKS fam. I love listening to THT and FKS while I work from home every day because it makes me feel less alone. Here's my issue. My female 29, ex-boyfriend, male 33, and I have been broken up for six months, but he still has a lot of stuff at my house.

While we were together, he stored his furniture in my basement since he didn't need it where he was living. In addition to the furniture, he left a lot of clothes here too. A couple months after our breakup, I asked when he wanted to come get his stuff, but he said he wouldn't because it's too hard emotionally.

To clarify his emotional state, he had been dealing with substance abuse, which led to our breakup and landed him in rehab this past winter. Now, we haven't talked since he went to rehab, and I don't know how or if I should bring up his stuff being at my house.

My therapist says it's a good thing that he hasn't reached out to me as it shows he is growing less dependent on my presence, a big issue during and after our relationship. So I don't know if reaching out to him would be emotionally healthy. The stuff is not in my way, but I truly believe physical things hold energy and feel that removing it might bring me more peace in my home.

Any advice you can provide is much appreciated. Ideal outcome is to have his stuff removed from my house without ruining the progress he has made mentally.

Yeah, it's definitely a tough situation because you do really respect the progress he's made and you don't want to hurt that. But at the same time, that doesn't mean you need to hold onto this stuff forever.

Yeah, which in my head, I'm going back and forth because naturally you want to be delicate about it, but also maybe being delicate isn't the best. And what you said, being more straightforward and direct about, hey, I mean, it's here until then, and then it's going to be gone. It's gone. That might make sense because... It might need to just be that direct.

Instead of if you're more delicate and say, hey, just want to remind you your stuff's here, you're probably going to get the same answer.
