Should I return the car my ex boyfriend bought me after we broke up? (Page 2)

Question

My ex bought me a car and we broke up recently. I don’t know if I should keep it or give it back to him because we never discussed what to do with the gifts he gave me or the gifts I gave him during our relationship.

John13131 · Answer

It is a big gift and he might be in a different position after splitting. If it is not going to cause you huge problems to return it I'd have a talk with him and see what he thinks.

Matthevv · Answer

If you broke up with him then you should probably give it back. If he broke up with you then keep it.

SarahsSummer · Answer

He bought you a car after you broke up?  I dint think you should have accepted it.

pitzi · Answer

I would! I would have hard time to even accept the gift... a car is a lot. I'd feel super guilty for having it so I'd return it back to him

opurba · Answer

No, y should u. He gifted u as a departure gift. To remember him. No, u can't hurt his feelings like that.

pooper89 · Answer

If someone gifts you an item, they’re not entitled to have it back even if the relationship goes sour

Kaamraj · Answer

If he paid for it then the right thing, not necessarily the legal thing, would be to return it. So that he holds no leverage over you.

steveguitar · Answer

You might be able to buy the cat from him. If he lets you just keep it he's nuts lol. But if he's a super rich guy maybe he won't care if you keep it

The_FallenOne · Answer

If he legally bought the car for me then no, if he let me borrow or gave me a car he no longer wanted then yes.

Warmapplecrumble · Answer

Give it back irrespective of what he says. That's just me. I wouldn't want any memories.

SngBirdy · Answer

I guess depends if you guys broke up on good or bad terms, and how much time between the car gift and the brake up was.

Myk13 · Answer

I true gift would not be recalled. Whatever it meant when it was given is how it would stay. Even if I strongly disliked you now. I loved you when I gifted it. That fact can not change.

jus_chill · Answer

If he gave it to you then it's yours, but if you feel like you should discuss it with him then do so, otherwise gifts are no longer the gifters property.

aaronbw · Answer

I would return it. Throwing money at someone to "buy them back" as an attempt to rectify whatever wrong they did shows now understanding or lessons learned on their part.

RockStarBob · Answer

Especially if it's not already paid for, you definitely need to get his opinion on whether he wants it back. Either way though you should not assume that it's yours to keep.

JamielovesKU · Answer

If he bought it for you and its on your name then its yours so why would you return it?

winterfox10 · Answer

Is he still making payments on it? If so; return it.

Marrry · Answer

If it's his fault you broke up (cheated lied etc ) keep it  If it's your fault give it back

billy420 · Answer

it needs to go to whoever it's name is under so I'd find that out first then make the decision

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I would let him decide what he wants to do If the car is in his name he can take the car back If the car is in your name than you are good to go.

Jaded214 · Answer

Usually I say give things back, but it's a whole car haha. I would talk to him about it. I doubt he wants it back.

Hoggy1 · Answer

Gifts in a relationship by law doesn't count towards monetary possessions if an object is a gift then there wasn't any transaction or loan over the car

ColoradoKid · Answer

I have never given a gift back. Maybe I am just mean but it's the way I think. A gift is a gift.

Streak · Answer

If it's under your name and you have the title, it's yours

AriLx · Answer

Well, thats a pretty complicated situation you're in. but i'd say to return it back. or at least, talk to him about it and let him decide.

Edanurus · Answer

If it was a gift (wow if it was) then it's yours. If he bought it "for you to use" then that's a bit of Shakey ground. And she since you said he bought it for you the 3rd one won't apply.

Legendary_Shark · Answer

I tapped the wrong option by mistake 😬 I wanted to choose that I would return it

Anonymous · Answer

If you want to give it back you definitely can. But if it's in your name it's legally yours no natter who paid for it.

Aenetone · Answer

It it was me who gave the car, I'd let her keep it.

Anonymous · Answer

Talk to him. If you can’t give it back right away because of transportation issues, wait a bit, resolve that, and then talk to him and see what to do.

Decentguy · Answer

you should return it, and if you think you shouldn't, then imagine if you bought a car for him and he didn't wanted to return it, how would you feel?

Real_princes · Answer

Don't give it back I am sure he fucked you long enough to justify a fleet of cars.. kinda splitting the check

CaptainSmartass · Answer

It depends whose name it is on the logbook. If it's yours, then keep it. If it's his, then return it to him. Simples...

clampfan101 · Answer

Definitely C. Don’t simply toss it back at him. Give it back if he gives you a fair reason, but cars don’t come cheap.

ElissaIsBelgian · Answer

Hell, no!! Why would you give it back? I wouldn’t :)

CuChullan · Answer

It's only right to give him the choice. To keep it with out saying anything is downright wrong.

Massageman · Answer

A frank discussion is in order, regardless of the cost of the car.

Unit1 · Answer

What kind of loser buys their ex a car? Anyway check who was registered as the owner.

KingSchzoEagle · Answer

It might have been a gift. I bought my ex stuff and she tried to give it back. I told her to keep them because they were gifts.

kartik_sharma · Answer

Depends on his personality. If he is proud , you should return it and if he's sensitive, you may hurt his feelings.

Anonymous · Answer

I’d talk to him and ask for his opinion on whether he wants it back

Anonymous · Answer

If he's the reason you broke up, think of it as compensation for you having to put up with him. 😉

Iron_Man · Answer

Very odd situation it depends is he asking for it back?

Lance1965 · Answer

I think it comes down to if it is on your name or not.

shubh2623 · Answer

shades777 · Answer

Kinda shady you broke up with him Right after he gave you that gift. Hope it breaks down on you

Rcmurmu9178 · Answer

Because, he gave it to you when you both are in relationship. He gave it to you as a gift or as a memorable moment.

beingsp04 · Answer

I think you both should patch up... cause only true lover will give you such a big gift just to feel you comfort.

I'd talk to him and ask for his or her opinion if he or she want me to return it back.
