I had a little stand in the empty living room, maybe shed a tear, and then walked out without looking back.
This is what you do. You don't hang around once it's done - plenty of time to adjust and say goodbye before that. (We also birthed a child in a paddling pool in the spare room of the last place.)

I didn't want to move to where we are now (this place is great, but I was settled), but looking back we had outgrown where we were and it was a fantastic decision that I'll be ever grateful for my better half leading us into! I had a little stand in the empty living room, maybe shed a tear, and then walked out without looking back.
We'd been there only six years; not birthed any kids in the sink, but I was still really quite attached. I can sympathise with people in @nankatsu situation or the lady upthread, if the couple have been there a while, raised kids etc.
Have a heart, people!
