Will You Accept A Gift From An Ex?
« on: November 19, 2009, 01:38 PM »

You guys broke up .  .  .  .  but are still friends.

He calls you up, makes an appointment and comes bearing gifts.

He dosent want you guys to get back together oh . .   but he saw some nice things, thought of you and got them for you! 'No strings attached' he says!

Any implications in accepting  Huh

I dunno Undecided  My ex has tried giving me gifts. . so far i haven't accepted even if i know there are no implications.  Lately he's like, "ok i'm getting you this and before you talk, there are no implications.  I saw it and just wanted to get it for you". . .when the time comes. . .i don't know if i'll accept it.  Even when we dated, i only accepted food Grin

Haha, well depends on how you return them and how well he knows you.  In my case, they all know how i'd react so even if it comes off rude to others, they totally get me Cheesy

Give it sometime, if you still don't feel right about taking them, then you try to return them Undecided

a gift is a gift, and its not so polite to reject or return them when they dont come with a condition. i think u shd accept them.

some men will feel betrayal. . .  uju, imagine how you'd feel if your bf started accepting gifts like boxer shorts or perfumes from his ex. . .  Would u feel comfy with that even if it was 'just a gift'?

He does that and all he'll hear is talk of not respecting u Tongue

Ther is nothing wrong in taking his gift as loong as he is not sending the photograph of both of you unclothed in a crazy position to you and your husband. If he has money to throw and the goodwill to back it up, if your spouse trust you, then there is no problem.

Till date I dont  forget to wish my ex a happy birthday with certain amount of airtime. Though she is married with a child I still remember her birthday. I make sure I will be the first to send her a birthday text.

Well I've moved on and there are no memories to bring back!

I dont think so. There's no going back for us and we both know it. Any sort of reconciliation is completely unneccesary . .  cos we know we can never be together!

I think it depends on who the person is. There are some folk who if they say 'no strings attached' u beta take to your heels. So I guess u figured this was 1 of the safe 1's huh?
But still in a relationship u need to be careful dat your BF doesn't become paranoid.
