Resolved Question: Help with room space.?
My bedroom is not quite that big. I have a queen sized bed, bedroom set and small computer desk in my room. I have a tall entertainment center that is not used for our TV anymore because it is not designed our 42 in flat screen. I keep the entertainment center for our very large DVD collection.

Resolved Question: I need opinions and suggestions PLEASE VERY IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE IT MEANS A LOT TO GET ANSWERS AND OPINIONS?
I KNOW THIS IS LONG, BUT IT IS WORTH IT PLEASE PLEASE READ!!! give me a sec to get it all pasted here I have an ex I started dating when I was 16, we were together for 3 yrs.... Relationship was great at first until we moved in together, then he wanted me to be his slave house wife or something, so we broke up about a year ago, acctually sept 23 2006 is when we split up, but still lived together until the middle of March, We had separate rooms and such, and i didn't want to live with him after we split up but he wouldnt move out, and I couldn't because I had no where to go and it was my house anyways, So i finally drove him out in March, well he took everything we owned, even stuff that I owned before I met or even moved in with him.... Movie Projector, Big Screen, My Journal, Dishes, Furniture, 3 Computers, I was left with my laptop, a couch, an extra entertainment center and a crappy like 27 inch tv, he said I could keep he wasnt gona take it cuz he didnt want want them, pft, but anyways... I met this guy when i was still living with my ex, I didnt start dating the guy until my ex was moved out completely, and never had the guy over until I was sure of that i still respected him and didnt want my new guy in that situation and it would have been wrong to do to my ex regardless of how he treated me it just wasnt right.....But the guy I had met, him and I have been together well "dated" since We met, but we are very happy together we wanna spend our lives together, tho nothing official yet because we both know it is still early in our relationship, so anyways my EX has been out of the picture since he moved.... besides ripping my mom off like 700 bucks, me like 300, and my landlord 200, tho i just let all of that go cuz I didnt want anything to do with him.. so ironically enough... this year, on the 23rd I was at work, at a new job, and a lady I work with wanted to hear my now boyfriends music, because he is a musician, so i took in a cd, and other things because he wants them now, even tho they are mine, we agreed that I kept them, well he said I could... i didnt fight him taking anything when he did, because I just wanted him out, tho now I wish I did.... But we have been split up almost a year now... I havent seen him or really talked to him in like 7 months, i did send him an email about him paying mom what he owed her but that was it...so after 7 months almost or more of not seeing each other at all, or barely speaking, he suddenly wants to come back and try and take my tv and stuff... tho as i said isnt his... and he also got a like 20k settlement check sept 1, so its not like he needs a tv cuz he cant afford one plus he took our bigscreen that we had.... so i'm just confused and frusterated and stressed as to why, after SO long... he is trying to take my stuff, after he took so much from me already... My boyfriend I have now and I are very very happy, and my ex knows this i guess cause he asked a mutual friend about about my boyfriend and I, plus Good ole myspace, tho I deleted my ex off my list... but I just dont want drama, and its just a tv and stupid materialistic stuff, but i just have this feeling its more than just this tv, if i give in and just give it to him tho there is no reason for me to cuz it isnt his there is no reason or reasonable reason for him to have nor want it... I think he would find something else to piss me off or bother me about, but why after so long... why now... after we have been split up for over a year I have completely 100% moved on, I dont get it... please any opinions at all would be nice! I'm just so stressed, and as i said he has anger issues and i told his mom lastnight that he can take it up with me, he isnt getting any of my stuff cuz there is no reason for him to have anything of mine... so that is going to really piss him off, so i'm worried that he is going to come over here and try to get into my house, so i think I may call into work tomorrow just to watch my house and my car, cuz who knows what he might do, and also do you think this may be a reasonable thing to call in for?? I just dont want him vandalizing my car or house or trying to break in.....help!! SORRY YEAH I MISSED A PARAGRAPH THINGY IN THIS.... IF YOU GUYS CAN IF YOU ARE WILLING TO VOICE YOUR OPINIONS AND SUCH IF YOU COULD LEAVE YOUR EMAIL AND I CAN EMAIL YOU WHAT EXACTLY IT IS THAT I AM SAYING AND ASKING FOR AND I CAN EMAIL AND MAYBE YOU CAN REPLY WITH WAHT YOU THINK, THAT WOULD BE EASIER I THINK..... by the way the reason i didnt pursue anything legal and let the money issue go and let all the material things go was because i just didnt want to deal with it i just wanted him out and i did what it took to get him to go, regardless of the loss of money or those material things, the loss was worth getting him out of my life for good, pft or so i thought. just leave your email addy ad i'll send ya what it is i havent been talking to him, its just suddenly after all this time he is trying to do whatever it is he is doing, I cant get a restraining order because by law technically "he hasnt done anything severe enough" to cause a restraining order He bought the Tv, he had it before we moved in together, but the deal was... is that he left the tv, and I let him take MY movie projector, because well he took it apart in pieces anyways so i wouldnt be able to use it cuz he knew i would give it up if it was like that, so since he got the projector, i got the Television, and he also got our bigscreen we got together... whats stupid tho is that the tv is just an old 27 inch phillips magnavox and the power button is pushed in and stuck so u gotta unpplug the damn thing to turn it off, so why would he want it when he has the big screen and the projector, and why after almost a year?

So my boyfriend and i were talking and its just ironic that that day a year ago we split up, a year later run into each other and my boyfriends music is on the radio... we take it as it was God's way of giving my ex a well deserved slap in the face.... which i felt he deserved, by God... for ripping me off and he was also very mentally, verbally, and sorta physically abusive.... what do you think?? just coincedence... or the work of God?
