OK, she dumps me out of the blue for another guy. Then proceeds to tell me to “let it go” when I ask about whats going on. So now…she realizes that she has left a few items of clothing and a curling iron at my house. I just got an email “I need to get my stuff back that I left at your house. Can you bring it in to work or something?”
I want to say hellllll no…what do you think I should do?
Or how about returning the email with “let it go.”
Oooh thats a good one.
Give it back, but don’t go out of your way to. She knows where you live. Have her come pick it up.
That could be awkward or misconstrued as an attempt to get her back dontcha think?
Not really. Just have everything in a box ready to go so that when she comes by to pick it up you just hand it to her. Don’t even let her into your place. Just “Here you go” and then “Bye”.
Agreed.
“I’ve looked around and found all the stuff you left over here. It’s in a box on the back porch if you want to come get it. If not, please let me know so I can get rid of it.”
Short, to the point, and you’ve put the ball in her court.
Leave it in a box out front.
Say, is it going to be raining there soon?
Ok, against all that I had imagined, I went the mature route and told her “Ok, let me know when you want to come get it”
Where are all the bitter single guys!!! We must stick together haha. Just kidding. She wasnt for me but oh so fun…Ill miss a few things but c’est la vie!
Yes, definitely return her stuff, or rather, I mean, have her fetch the stuff, in the way least troublesome to you.
What Amp said. It would be assholish to keep it.
As a former bitter-ex myself… I’d say to definitely put her stuff into a box and have her come and fetch it.
But don’t leave it outside for her to pick. You know, where it’d be most convenient for her to see…
…out near the curb
…on trash day.
Oh no…don’t do that.
Good on ya, going the mature route. But absolutely don’t go out of your way to do it. It’s her stuff, she wants it, she can come get it.
Send it COD, she wants it, she can pay for it to be shipped.
When she shows up to pick it all up, be wearing all of her clothing and offer her the curling iron. I’ll bet she’ll not want any of it after that.
COD would be a great idea if I wasnt living overseas. I sent her the email saying come get it so we’ll see what happens. Hopefully being a better man about this will send me some good karma…or even better a cute girl named Karma…either way. Thanks all.
Just give her the stuff and make sure yougive her a pick up by date. Who needs an ex bothering you ever time she has a fight with her current boyfreind.
Just be a guy, take the stuff to work and give it to her. Why make this any harder for either of yourselves?
I think either option would be perfectly OK:
Option #1:
Box the stuff and leave it on the porch for her to pick up. Then post naked pictures of her on the internet.
Option #2:
Bring the stuff into work to give to her. Then post naked pictures of her on the internet.
If you are feeling really angry with her and just want to be a jerk, you could throw away her stuff. Then post naked pictures of her on the internet. But, that would be mean.
And the mature thing to do is to resist the urge to use the curling iron to burn nasty names into her clothing with. That would just be wrong. I think.
