I'm coping so well with the break-up that I don't want to see him again, but he still has some of my stuff! What should I do?

A female United States age 36-40, *ib1 writes:

My ex broke up with me almost a month ago. The funny thing is I'm actually perfectly fine. lol I think this is the best I've been after a break up. I have decided the last thing I want is a reconciliation and having time to reflect... I don't really want to be his friend either.

It was a very amicable end. He asked if he could still see me every so often, if he could email to see how I was doing. I told him I guess he could but I might not respond... but I did guarantee we would meet up a couple months from now. We did a great hassle-less exchange where I put his stuff in a bag on my door knob and when I got back from work my stuff was there on the door knob.

The problem is, he still has one very sentimental thing of mine. I figured I could just grab it from him when we meet up but I'm starting to feel like I've been so great without him I don't even really feel like seeing him at all and might want to do that exchange where he leaves my stuff at my door.

My dilemma is that I could grin and bear it for an hour to fulfill the promise I made him or if I should be selfish and perhaps hurtful and tell him to just leave my stuff on my door.

In my defense of wanting that... he has not once called me, emailed me, or texted me to see how I am doing. As much as he cried and begged to keep me in his life (but not romantically) he has shown not one ounce of concern over my ill dog (that he said was "our" dog) or various other things he swore he was concerned about.

What should I do see him for my stuff or just make him hang it on the door?

Make him hang it on the door. You would do better to have as little contact as possible.
