After our breakup, I want to return a gift he gave me a year ago - should I?

Question - (31 December 2008) 3 Answers - (Newest, 31 December 2008)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Well, my ex broke up with me a second time. He broke up with me because I guess he lost that feeling to care about me anymore. Don't get me wrong but, I gave him everything and gave him space. I treated him like a kind and I was very kind to him. He didn't do crap for me except for rare occasions. He never shows appreciation with a "Thank you" and It really makes me sad. I also had good relations with his mom and dad as well. He said I was "too good" of a girlfriend for him and that we should break up..though I think that was a BS answer.

He also lied to me about smoking pot. Now I feel as if I have to look after him to prevent him from hanging out with the wrong people. Maybe I'm being too kind but, I truly care about him. It's like he can't think whats right and wrong anymore.

Now he says he wants to be friends, but he's practically ignoring me. This Saturday we're going ice skating with a few friends, and I want to return a gift he gave me a year ago. It's actually a charm that I wore on my ID necklace everyday. And I'm not sure if I should return it or not. Would he be angry or sad? Or maybe not care?

a_decent_1 agony auntIt's actually CHEAP to give Gifts back like that.. !!

If he asks you to return them, so be it. But, not just because you broke up..

Gifts are our Possesion.. !! If Commerce, the "Possesion" is transferred when a GIFT is given from one person to the other. It becomes the property of the reciever and the Giver cannot claim it back.. !!

G'day

48years agony auntDon't return it-he will know it's an excuse to see/talk/reestablish contact with him.

Keep it, you will one day enjoy seeing it again.

I have a heart shaped locket from a fella who once cared for me. I look at it now and smile.
