whatdoido1717 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Hey all, quick question. I broke up with my Ex Ex about 8 months ago. About a month ago she text me and we exchanged texts with each other every couple days for a few weeks. I haven't text her in a little over a week and don't plan on it basically because I found out she is trying to be all secretive (as are some of my friends) about her being set-up by some of my friends (she grew close with them while we were together) with a mutual acquaintance. I just don't need to be a part of the above drama and it doesn't really bother me. More bothered by some of my "friend's" lack of respect than by her dating some guy I know that is good friends with some of my friends. My question is this, after the break up, I left my laptop at her house. Knowing she didn't have her own and that she was trying to finish up some schooling to be come a SLPA I was in no hurry to ask for it back. Basically at that point I wanted to be done and since I have a desktop and she needed the laptop bad at that point, I put it on the back burner. Well, I would like/need to have it back now (not as some kind of vendetta for above story anything dumb like that) and I just want to make sure I still have a right to ask for it back this far down the line. I know she is done with the school stuff so I would prefer to have my $2000 laptop for my own use and not for her to Facebook haha. Is a short email asking her to send it to me and telling her I can send her a check for the postage if she needs it a reasonable solution? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
0hpenelope Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 No, this is reasonable. That's an expensive item that you loaned to her. It is not a gift. Stay strictly on business and polite when you converse with her. After this time, I hope you'll get the item back.
Author whatdoido1717 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 S I am working on a few important things that are going to require me using my laptop. I am hoping you can get that back to me sometime soon now that you are no longer using it for the SLPA program. If you need money to mail it to me I would be happy to send you a check. My address is _____. Thank you very much. Z ---- Haha, that wasn't so hard.

Yup that exactly what I was thinking...and this is totally reasonable because after all it is YOUR laptop not hers and you guys aren't together so it's your property... your e-mail is perfect...let me know how it goes alright?

" I just want to make sure I still have a right to ask for it back this far down the line. " Of course you have the right to ask for it back....but did you ever bring up the laptop up when you were exchanging text that month? And if not why didn't you? I was dumped a couple of months ago (as you know ...you responded to my post) I asked for my belongings in a email and he said "not yours" of course they were.... so I just emailed back... they are material things and they can be replaced....I said I couldn't replace the last year of my life! Well now I know he held on to them for a reason....just today (2 months later) he dropped some of my belongings off while I was at work today. So the question to you is....deep down inside did you not ask for the laptop back so you have a reason to contact her? Sorry had to ask.
