I love it, couldn't wait to snuggle into the newly made up bed last night, & had the best nights sleep I've had in ages. So much so that I overslept this morning! I would like to get a new mattress, but as some of the other commenters have mentioned, money is an issue but I'll get there!

It just yelled "you are still letting him control your life, just the other end of the pendulum." So I bought a new set. Redid my whole bedroom and bathroom in pink. (well antique rose and olive green) But now I love it. It just screams, yes I got the colors I wanted! I got new bedding immediately that I knew ex would hate and I ended up hating it.

When I moved out, I left everything behind except sentimentals and clothes and things of the kids'. Which means, I left my couch, bed, bedding, you name it, behind, with him. I dont miss it. It was a good way to clean out immediately! that’s awesome. When I moved out, I left everything behind except sentimentals and clothes and things of the kids’.

I did the same thing, I got rid of the bedding that we used as a couple. I too had used it as a single woman before. I still have the bed (can't afford a new one) but eventually would like to get a new one. I know for me that the most cleansing thing I did was move. I didn't realize how oppressive the home we rented together was until the lease was up and I left. That place was full of ghosts! I love your bedding! What a haven!

When I left my x, not only did I leave my bedding behind, I also left my bed! NO WAY did I want anything to do with that! For the first few months I slept in a mattress on the floor, and then, when I saved up a bit I went out and bought myself a new bed, sheet and duvet.....one of the best cleansing exercises I ever did....;) Absolutley BEAUTIFUL!!!!

I justified it because I was selling our old house and needed to "stage" the place. But in reality, I needed to sleep in something that had no memories whatsoever. And belonged solely to me. I totally get this. You know, I went out and bought new bedding immediately, too. I justified it because I was selling our old house and needed to “stage” the place.
