NomiMalone Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Hi everyone, I know the following query has very little to do with break ups, but I've been posting in this section and getting to know a few familiar names, so I thought it felt more "right" to post my query in this section. My former partner and I had a very tumultuous relationship due to his mental health issues. Right before we broke up, his mum (who has been very lovely and supportive), gave me a gift voucher that was very generous. When I broke up with my guy, I returned to his mum some books of hers I'd borrowed, and I tucked the voucher into one of the books, because I felt I couldn't take it and didn't deserve it. She sent me a message saying she'd found the voucher in the book, and that she really wanted me to have it. I text back saying it was really sweet of her, but I felt she deserved it more than I did. Now I'm wondering whether it was rude of me to return the gift, or whether it'd have been greedy of me to take it? And if you do feel it was rude of me to return it, what should I do? It's so hard to know what to do. Thank you
Lani Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 I think you did the right thing by returning it. If she still insists now that you take it, then take it. Otherwise it just turns into a silly stubborn game and you don't want things to end that way with her. You know the situation inside and out, so whatever you think the right thing to do is right. 3
