Thank you, hvert. Fortunately, I don't have many possessions. There won't be that much to move. I understand the idea of taking the room-mate somewhere, but really, he would be very suspicious and almost surely wouldn't go. The only possibility I can think of along such lines of thinking is if I tell this man's father what's going on and ask him to please take his son away so as to save his son the pain of the situation. The question is whether I can trust his father (I have in the past).

My husband's idea is that everyone shows up at the same time and we just move my stuff out. I won't lie - call me a fool, but I am a sensitive person and I feel sick at the thought of giving this jerk such a shock without prior notice. Yet, common sense tells me otherwise....that I have given him PLENTY of fair warning.

All in all, I wish the man's father would get involved and just come and get his son the day before I move so there doesn't have to be any horrible anything.
