My ex owes me money. Should I text him about it?

[Poppymarie]

I broke up with my ex several weeks ago. We hadn’t been dating very long and it was a really amicable breakup, but we each had some of each other’s stuff. He said he would pay me to mail his to him, so I did. It was about $12 to mail it, which doesn’t seem like a lot, but it’s a significant amount to me because I am a poor college student. It’s been over a week since the package was supposed to arrive now and I’ve heard nothing from my ex. He didn’t ask how much he owes me or anything. Should I politely remind him that he owes me money?

You can remind him, but of it's something you have to constantly ask for it and it turns into a hassle, then I'd just let it go... $12 isn't that much to be out, considering there's men and women that lose far more than that by people that were using them for their money...

[TonyV]

He said he would so maybe remind him that but honestly it's just 12 bucks, if you ended a relationship that wasn't a good fit for whatever reason and you're only out 12 bucks I'd just let it go, not worth an argument.
I mean really what is 12 bucks worth? Fast food once or twice? Not being a dick or trying to insult you, and its messed up he isn't paying it but 12 bucks won't break you

[slatyb]

Yes, you should. Do you have Venmo or PayPal so he can conveniently pay you?

[Poppymarie]

I have cash app so it should be fairly easy

[Paris13]

Let it Go... With Joe. I doubt you will see it. xx

[Paris13]

Thanks to Gag. xx

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Honestly he probably won't give you the money you can ask but I never got any money back from my ex.. if he pays you back thats great but was never my experience.

[jgokgotit]

Just let the $12 go. The hassle and headaches would be worth more than $12.

[worldscolide]

Its up to you. But he is an ex, I would not hold out much hope that he will pay you back.

[Guanfei]

Well, yeah, he agreed to do it, ask him politely, that should be enough, if you were still in good terms.

[LiamSawyer]

Yes, why wouldn't you. If I had been you I would of sent it collect and he would of had to pay USPS before he could get the package.

[RoxyFoxx]

Of course. It's your money. It's your right to try to get it back.

[lexiflexs]

I wouldn’t personally. If you desperately need the money then go ahead.

[pleasestopthis]

Yes, be explicit about it. He could have wired the money to you even before you had to send his package

[Anonymous]

I think it's okay to remind him, but I wouldn't hold out hope that he'll actually give you the money.

[KatherineJ]

Maybe send him a text to remind him. Other than that, I wouldn’t expect to see it again.

[Shy_Steve]

Yes you should, I can understand it would be hard to do but you are better off just politely asking otherwise probably not much would happen.

[Redstang88]

$12 ain’t worth the trouble of getting it back

[jahaims]

Never lend money and expect to get it back.

[princeofromance]

Let it go. It is not worth the trouble.

[deeks1121]

Absolutely! Get every penny back

[In_Trance]

How much does he owe you?

[Sammie97]

Let it go

[sensible27]

Ask him?

[Anonymous]

Just let it go and move on.

[Yellovv]

Yes tell him that..
