What do you do with presents from a past relationship? (46)
myssmyssMalmö, Skane Sweden12 Threads 94 PostsA friend of mine, was in a relationship that ended about 5 years ago. He found and married someone else, whilst she has been an on and off single. Recently, they met by chance, he told her that his marriage was over, he was still in love with her and since she was single, would like for them to get back together again, to this my friend replied no. A few days later, he called her and asked that she returns all the presents that he had given her during their turbulent 3 year relationship, note: the relationship ended about 5 years ago. Again she said no, to which he replied that he will seek legal action to get her to return all the presents. Aparently, he has found a lawyer, who is willing to take such actions against her, my guess is that the lawyer only wants his money, as she always said "he has more money than common sense". Question: Do you give back presents when a relationship has ended or what do you do with them?

A present is a gift..given not loaned. Now if he had given her a Ferrari I can see he might be a bit peeved ?? ????------ This thread is Archived ------

I certainly don't give any gifts back!
When the relationship is over..
I just dispose of them as they carry the energy of the ex..
Some can be burned..
Others I give away to charity shops.

He wasted money getting a lawyer, he won’t get nothing back, my friend was in that situation also, he took her to court and he got nothing back

I kept all the things my ex gave to...apart from her photograph in a frame
I told her I did not want to think about her or be reminded of her...cause it was the best way for me to move on

He claimed that the jewelery was not his to give: he inherited it from his parents to give to his children. I have seen the jewellery, he bought everything, except for one ring.------ This thread is Archived ------

When my relationships ended, I gave the clothes to the second hand shops, or threw them away. I kept the jewellery and some other stuff, that didn't quite remind me of them.------ This thread is Archived ------

I too think he is wasting money, but it's as I quoted her "he has more money than common sense." The lawyer, probably realised that too, because he waited until 5 years after the relationship ended to ask back for the presents. Guess it's because his pride is hurt, afterall she told him no about getting back together with him.------ This thread is Archived ------

a lot of past women in my life have given me valuable things like tiffany lamps, bedroom sets, motorcycles, jewelry, suits, Shotguns, pustols, jackets and other stuff. Why would I want to get rid of any of it? Not happening.

To a point. However, consider this--in most states in the United States, a gift given in contemplation of a future arrangement (such as an engagement ring) is considered an incomplete transaction if the wedding does not occur, and therefore must be returned to the partner (ex) who purchased it. This is upheld in courts almost daily here.------ This thread is Archived ------

Gaalrads….love your Bud Spencer photo…….typical of him the big bowl of spaghetti. He was a good actor together with Terrence Hill, they made movies worth watching. May he RIP.

That you would be, but did they give you an empty purse or was there money in it. There's a saying that you should always give a purse with money in it to bring luck to the person recieving it.mines so I’m keeping it as a matter of fact I have a Michael Kors purse that someone bought me, I’ll be a fool to throw that away

If he claimed they were for his children how / why then give them to you ? Waited a few years too didn't he. Again, they were all gifts no matter how he acquired them. He was of sound mind when he gave them . He is deluded and clutching at straws now . If you feel guilty of bothered about it all, sell them, keep receipts and offer to give him half. Do this in writing....it always helps to keep written details x

The same as I would with anything else. The relationship might not have worked out but a nice pair of jeans is a nice pair of jeans, it’d be unfair to take it out on the jeans.
