Asking for a gift back after a break up: Unbelievably rude or justified in some situations? (Page 2)

Question

So what do you think about this one. In many relationships people exchange gifts. Would you ever consider asking something back after a break up? For example if you have given family jewelry or something expensive, would you consider asking the gift back? Or is it extremely rude in every situation?

Paris13 · Answer

Only if it Involved a Ring or Something, such as An... Engagement Ring or An Heirloom with some Heritage. Good Luck. xx

splashofyellow · Answer

I know exactly what gift you're talking about... 😏

Yes-Man · Answer

May not be rude, may be justified, but in each and every case it's quite childish and stupid. Shows how immature the person is.

DizzyAster · Answer

A gift belongs to the person it was given too.
Even the law agrees with this.

I don't know women always what the stuff they give to others upon breakup, like it's conditional.
In that case it was NEVER a gift in her eyes.

Gianna17 · Answer

If its an engagement ring, it should be given back. Otherwise its theirs

Depends on the gift and person. It's not extremely rude in every situation.

SAPWharton · Answer

It's ok in some circumstances. For example- asking for an engagement ring back after you found out that she was cheating on you.

cattertone · Answer

Rude if you bought the gift and gave it back. If it's a family heirloom then the recipient should give it back and respect the sentimentality

It's complex, it depends on the breakup, if you want things to be amicable then let it go, it's just stuff, if you went anarchy in your life, then take it all back

Only the ring and things that were a part of the family. Other than that, you're a loser of you ask for a gift back.

JustJack17 · Answer

Family jewelry, bridal jewelry, car, credit card, etc yes. But, stupid stuff. She can keep the memories. Especially if she cheated.

I'd take it on a case by case basis. Something given under the impression that they'd stay together forever might fit into that category.
