Personally it does feel wrong to ask from any gift back. You gave it her willingly and even tho it might suck you gave it away. Just like after a relationship you aren't going to send her a bill for all the money you spent on her , you shouldn't ask for gifts back either. But like a lot of females are saying, if you were the one who got handed the gift you should be considerate and ask if they would like it back.
Yeah no. If you gave it as a gift you don't get to ask for it back. That's incredibly insulting. If you leave something that's YOURS with her then yes you may ask for it back but anything you give as a gift is no longer yours. You can regret it all you want but regretting a gift is not justification for asking for it back.
Just go to their house, ask if you can just “talk” then fuck that shit up 😈
Yes, it's wrong. When you give someone something, you're relinquishing ownership of it. It no longer belongs to you. Therefore, you have no rights to the item, and as such have no rights to ask for them back. The only exceptions in my opinion are engagement rings. Since they're a symbol of a commitment that in this scenario was later broken, it should be returned to the one who bought it.
This should make you think long and hard before you decide to give someone something.
I would be pissed, unless we broke up the day after the item was given. If we dated, say, 2 years, and he asked for something given to me on my birthday two years ago, I would decline. Its petty to ask for it back.
Nah, it’s no longer their gift once it’s over. It’s your property that you have the receipt to. Therefore, it’s yours. Emotional ties are cut just like the physical. If you want your shit, go and get it.
Possession is the Law, gift given no longer the givers property!!! Doesn't matter who has the receipt. Engagement Ring is the only item that is Contractually based on the Relationship. Everything else you better state in writing this is a loan while we are together only!!!
Gifts are gifts. They belong to the receiver.
The one exception to this is an engagement ring, if she breaks off the engagement, should generally be returned. The legal status varies by location, but its often considered to be a 'conditional gift'.
You're basically correct that you should not buy expensive gifts for a girlfriend. "expensive' depends on your income.
You shouldn't buy gifts at all for someone who isn't a girlfriend.
I wouldn't ask for it (it comes across as kind of rude and revenge-like) but she should offer the gifts back. I understand that it was a gift, but you presented it when you were together. Now that you're not, she should give it back to you.
Well personally I think a gift is something that once you give to them, it’s no longer yours and maybe u shouldn't be buying people expensive gifts if you can't afford t
Yes... it's a gift for a reason.. however, if you lend her something you can ask for it back.
For the most part, once it is gifted, it is theirs. However, if I bought her something expensive and a week later she dumped me, I am getting that back!
Just find a woman you don't like and buy her a house.
Done deal. ;)
It depends on what it is. I mean, gifts are gifts - you gave it unconditionally. Except for a diamond ring - then all bets are off - you give the fukkin thing back. LOL
Yes. My ex bought me expensive stuff he never asked for it back. Just like I never asked for things back I bought him. Another one of my ex’s bought me something with his name engraved on the back I gave that back to him...
Whenever you give something it's not yours anymore.
The gifts are hers now and she has no obligation to give them back.
Well if you brought expensive gifts shouldn't they have brought you expensive gifts in return so the money spent is equal?
The only ones you can ask for back are conditional gifts, e. g. engagement rings, (if you want them back...).
Outside of that, a gift is a gift.
Clarification: Engagement Rings are legally classed as "conditional". If you marry, they cease to be "conditional" as the attached obligation was met via marriage.
I would just let it go. But the. Again I am not wealthy enough to give an ex or a boyfriend anything. The only guy I dated I gave him a t-shirt and I don’t care lol
It's wrong to ask gifts back from anyone. U can get either your gifts or a kick in yer ass.
Yes it is, it was a gift, your own decision to give them, they are not yours anymore. Deal with it.
No that’s petty, give what you’re willing to give up.
Secondly don’t buy expensive gifts for a gal unless you feel she is worth it 👌🏾
