If you’re in a situation where you can rationally divide and discuss with your ex-partner, here are some questions you should ask them:

  • What are your belongings?
  • What are the items we bought together? And what do we do with them?
  • How will we split items we both love dearly?
  • Who is staying in the apartment and who is moving?

Discussing these matters after a breakup is an extremely hard thing to do. But, it is necessary. Seeing how you and your significant other are adults, there should be no issue discussing things without getting angry or confrontational. In crisis situations, you should be aware that there are people such as same-day movers NYC who can help you get out of your apartment in just one day.

Leave the apartment immediately after the breakup

This is much easier said than done. But we would like to recommend that instead of sleeping in the guestroom, or on the couch, you take some essentials and move out of the apartment until things are sorted out. If you were to stay in the same space as your now ex, there could be some confusion and post-breakup awkwardness. Or you could get back together. Which is often the easiest thing to do, but don’t fall into this trap! If you and your partner have been having a rough patch and broke up, chances are that was the right decision. Now you need to stay strong and not go back to them for support.

As creatures of habit, a breakup can really create inner turmoil. Some people are better at dealing with it than others. But, even if it’s extremely hard for you, you need to stay level-headed. Tough it through and you’ll feel better in no time! There are many 24-hour storage Manhattan options you can choose if you need to leave extremely quickly but don’t have a new apartment yet.

Find a place to stay after moving out of your Brooklyn apartment

Something that helps most people during a stressful breakup is staying busy. We’ve already gone over how you should leave the shared apartment immediately. So, as a temporary solution, it could be a good idea to move back in with your parents or a trusted friend. Just until you get your footing back. Now you have to stay busy finding a new place for you to live!

First, think through what it is you need. Do you want to buy or rent? Will you be searching for roommates to make rent lower? Where do you want the apartment to be? Try to stay civil during all the negotiations with your ex-partner. Maybe they can even help you during the move and you guys can separate with dignity.
