Transplant Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Dear Reader, I'm looking for some advice as to how to acquire my things back after a breakup. It has been two months now since the breakup and after requesting my things on several occasions, I still haven't received them back. I even told her that I would pay the postage bill and or retrieve them as I drive through her town on business. She has said she would mail them but it's been two months. I'm not requesting everything back, though some days I want it all back, just a few sweatshirts, namely all my Oxford boxing and St. Andrews boxing garb back as I want to hang them up in my new office I'll be opening up. These items represent some of the best times of my life which is why I left them with her during the course of our 8-year flickering romance (she received them this last summer). We parted on one-sided terms as she said she thought being with me would somehow disrupt the delicate balance of her life and her son's life. If this is true, which I'm sure it really isn't, I will continue to honor this breakup, and more importantly, her son. I've received occasional texts from her since, telling me she's wearing my sweatshirts or sweatpants or is snuggling under the blanket I made her. Beyond a few 'idiot guy texts' on my part, we've remained NC, and yes it's tough and I'm learning to accept it all but I do want these items back. I'm not sure what use she has for them or even if she still has them (though I tend to think she does if she's still wearing them as of two-three weeks ago). Any advice you all could provide would be great...should I just let it all go, even if these items were representations of some of the best parts of who I am and the accomplishments I've made? With kindest regards, I remain Very truly yours, Transplant
