jnotsoaveragej Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 I have a question here, and I want to know what to do. I started dating a girl in early January and everything was going well. In February I bought tickets for a concert that was coming up this summer that we both would have enjoyed. For Valentines day, I "gave" her these tickets. I say gave, because I never really gave them to her. First of all I didn't have them yet. I had purchased them the week before. Second of all, I didn't just give her a pair of tickets. In my head, the gift was taking her with me. Anyway, long story short. We just recently broke up (she was smothering me and would never give me time alone) and now I don't know what to do with these tickets. The night of the break up, she told me to enjoy the show, but now today she is saying that she would like the tickets and will find someone else to go with. Am I expected to hand over $400 tickets to her? I think not. Because of the reasons I gave above along with the fact that I paid for everything. Every night we went out it was $60+ out of my wallet. Her Valentines day gift to me was probably $50 of crap that I'll never use. What do you guys think is the morally right thing to do, and does anyone have any idea what the law says on this type of thing?
Art_Critic Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Keep the tickets and enjoy them yourself Honestly this doesn't fall into the kinda gift category where you gave it to them as a gift so therefore it is theirs. Possession is 9/10 of the law. The tickets were to be used by you both in the relationship and since the breakup to me the tickets are yours. Pretty ballsy of her if you ask me. If she had the tickets in her possession I would feel the tickets were hers
Confusedwheretogo Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Keep the tickets, there's no reason for you to give them to her if you guys are not together. She shouldn't have asked.
BellePerdant Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 If she was genuinely under the impression that you bought them just for her, I'd say at least talk with her about the toll your wallet took when investing in those tickets. However, it sounds like she's just playing a game. She said to enjoy the show and now out of resentment she's asking for the tickets.
