Reassessing Home Security Options After a Serious Break-Up
From new endings come new beginnings, and when it's time to break up with someone that one's been living with, there's a whole world of drama to deal with more often than not.
There's really no such thing as a non-messy break-up where both parties have been sharing the same living space, and no matter how things go down, it's important to be focused on figuring out the ins and outs of home security, whether it's adjusting to life as a single person or dealing with stress from partners who aren't really interested in staying away for long.
The first and most obvious step for most people who are ending things with someone who will then be moving out is to change the locks.
This might sound like it's a bit rash, but the fact is that no one can be too careful about sending a firm message that there's absolutely no reason to come back, that things are indeed over.
And for home security purposes with partners who are prone to arguing and hanging around after a break-up, it makes sense to make it more difficult to enter a living space.
Those who are living in apartments should talk to supers and make it clear that one's ex is no longer living in the building and thus is not welcome, too.
Aside from changing the locks, another crucial home security move is considering the importance of installing a home alarm system.
While it might not be a necessary move, those who are having particularly rocky break-ups will feel a lot more secure when heading off to work or out to have fun knowing that there's a little bit of extra protection back at home.
It's an incredibly helpful way to have back-up, and with police response, can really make all the difference in the world.
Of course, there's more to thinking about home security after a break-up than in conjunction with one's relationship with one's ex.
There's also the fact that when a household diminishes in size, it becomes a target for robbers, who prefer to be hitting up properties where there is a single resident.
After all, tracking one person's work schedule is a whole lot easier than paying attention to multiple people, and it's simpler to figure out an ideal time to break in when there's only one person to keep track of.
To get around that new home security concern, it's worthwhile to keep cars parked in the driveway whenever possible, to invest in lighting timers indoors and outdoors, and to generally start thinking about the best moves to give the impression of a space being busy and bustling.
The more bustling things look, the less likely a crook is to choose the space over a different, darker household.
So consider that when making home security changes once recently single.
After all, that kind of major life change means that it's definitely time to consider a few different other life changes along the way to provide better protection and a higher quality of living.
