Why is it that sometimes with an ex, they still feel entitled to special occasion gifts?

[Paris13]

**I am Not Sure That would Change Anything. xxoo

[OddBeMe]

Some people are just “entitled”. Or moochers.

But don’t try to buy your way back with an ex. That’s worse than crawling…

[Paris13]

Yeah, Moochers and Leachers. lolxx

[Paris13]

@OddBeMe Thank You. xxoo

[OlderAndWiser]

I think you have a bad ex. I don’t stay in contact with exes so they don’t expect anything.

[Paris13]

I Feel You Are Right At Times, sir. xxoo

[Paris13]

@OlderAndWiser Happy Holidays!!! xxoo

[OlderAndWiser]

Thanks for MHO! Merry Christmas!

[Leapfrog00]

Close as I can figure it, exes still think they're entitled to special attention, as if you were still dating them. My ex-fiancé still wanted money for her birthday, way after she cheated on me, and we broke up. I used to wonder why I don't like people, and then people like her remind me why!

Somes exes are OK letting go of the relationship, but not the person or the things the person does for them.

[Paris13]

... But Not Letting Go of the Gifties? lolxx

[DJB72]

One of them hasn't spoken to me in over 20 years - no great loss for me - and while the other does chat sometimes we split just over 30 years ago and barely had contact for 25 years.

We wouldn't exchange anything out of any sense of obligation.

[Paris13]

Thanks. xx

[7Phoenix7]

True, they do that lol. And I agree it won't change anything. I mean I think it's okay when they're able to remain friends but it's different when they inly do it to get you back.

[Paris13]

Or just Want to Stay Friends if Anything But on Their own Terms. lolxx

[MysticAngel5000]

No way. You're an ex for a reason. I'm not going to give an ex a gift. Period. If I had a child with an ex, we would co-parent and each get the child a gift but I doubt we'd get each other a gift.

[Paris13]

Thanks!!! xx

[katiesmuff]

I sure can't see that working out very well possibly giving off some very wrong signals. I don't see any issue in staying civil and maybe somewhat friendly, but that is about it.

[Paris13]

Maybe Wrong Signals. xx

[NathanDavis]

never heard of this before... lol

even though I am still friends with a couple of exes... they've never demanded any gifts, not even as friends for birthdays or Christmas whatever, lol

[Paris13]

lol Maybe Indiscreetly Expected. lolxx

[watare421]

personally I stay away from my ex, I had an ex who got mad when I didn't wish her for her birthday, I accidentally ran into her one day and her bday was a week before and I forgot it was her bday lol. so I think it's very important to have boundaries with your exes.

[Paris13]

I Agree and Welcome to Gag and Best of Luck. xx

[RavVid]

Hadn't thought about this. Mothers and Fathers day should still be kept after all they did the work.

[Paris13]

I See. xx

[RavVid]

A nice annual thank you for my children

[exitseven]

As long as you keep sending them he will keep expecting them.

[Paris13]

Have Not in Over a Year, dear. xx

[exitseven]

Sounds like a streak in the making

[kevypatyy7]

Here where i am , those things don't actually hold anything. Why would they in the first place?

[Paris13]

Ask "Them."xx

[kevypatyy7]

🤣 so true

[ProbablyClueless]

I've never had an ex like that! lol But I guess some people are just insufferable.

[Paris13]

lol!!! Does that Mean He Thinks I am a Sucker? lol!!! xx

[ProbablyClueless]

Not sure what to tell you lol I'm not a mind reader

[love_conquers_lust]

I've never bought ex's gifts. They're all downgraded to acquaintance in my book. It's healthier for both of us.

[Paris13]

Great Deal. xx

[sheikalana]

Why is it that people are still in touch with their exes? Never understood that.

[Paris13]

lol I Still with ONE. xx

[sheikalana]

Waste of time.

[RealMarek]

My ex feels entitled to half my income for life and the family court basically agrees.

[Paris13]

Ex But Yet Still Married to Her from those Dang Legal Papers Once Stated. lolxx

[RealMarek]

Well, the way I treat it is that it’s just another tax. I don’t get emotionally messed up about it.

[RHK36]

I don't have exes around me that are like that. I cut them out a long time ago.

[Paris13]

Nice!!! xx

[LiamJHayden]

Maybe for the same reason some people think they "own" the rights to an ex.

[Paris13]

Okay Then. xx

[Likes2drive]

I never gave an ex gifts and they never felt I should

[Paris13]

Great, Big Guy. xx

[Mark987]

I was dating a woman.. who in my opinion was way outta my league honestly speaking. I was more attracted to her physical looks than other things. After she cheated on me... we remained friends... but she would still ask me for gifts like we were dating... and acted like a princess. I learned my lesson from her, we're still friends... but it showed me, that she expected things because of who she was.

[Iron_Man]

Right now You’re being placed on a hold the back up quarterback, so when he needs you, he’ll come get you and then you will eat at Denny’s

[Carly2005]

Probably want you to feel like you’re lost without them.

[Paris13]

Welcome to Gag and Best of Luck. xx
