okay so my boyfriend of 5 months bought me a $250.00 necklace for christmas, but about 2 weeks later I broke it off. He told me to keep the necklace and said that it was mine. Except now hes asking for it back. I would give back because I really dont want it but I kinda lost it. :S So,I just ignore his myspace messages and his texts. I dont know what to do. I have no clue where the necklace is! Ive looked everywhere, and I dont want to tell him or talk to him or anything. I completely HATE him! I dont want anything to do with him! What do I do??

Answer his messages, tell him you can't find it and don't plan on looking, and that you don't want to hear from him again.
Andreaaaa answered Monday February 23 2009, 6:32 pm: ugh What a jerk. Definitely NOT a gentleman. He gave it to you as a gift. Not your fault he didn't take into consideration you two weren't going to last forever. The only time I believe you should ever HAVE to give jewelry back is if it's an engagement ring and you two broke it off. Other than that, you don't have to give it back. Buttttt if you don't care about that, then just message him back and be like I've been looking all over for it, but I can't find it. When it shows up, I'll let you know.

My grandpa has this joke that if you give a ring to a girl for her birthday or Christmas, and it doesn't work out, you can't ask for it back. So don't propose to a girl on a holiday if you want the ring back if it doesn't work out.
Razhie answered Monday February 23 2009, 11:23 am: Respond, quickly and firmly that you understood the necklace was a gift and that you didn't need to give it back.
You HAVE to respond, just once, and only one, and tell him that you don't plan on giving it back and that you really don't want to speak to him anymore, and hope he can respect your wishes.
If you already hate him and want nothing to do with him, you don't need to worry about offending him. He can say whatever nasty thing he wants about you, but every court in this country would be on your side: It was a gift. It was yours to do with as you wish, even to loose.
Reply once, firmly state that you will not be giving the necklace back and that you don't want to speak to him anymore. It's cold and unfriendly, but you are entitled to be cold and unfriendly. You aren't entitled to pretend he doesn't exist. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
