Hi! My ex broke up with me 2 weeks ago. I have some very important things of his at my house that I know he NEEDS for work this week. He hasn't asked for it back although I know he needs it.

 

One of my guy friends told me that guys usually ask for their things right away if when they are the dumpers, especially if its something of this level of importance. Yes I know that he's generalizing all guys but I believe that our BU was a rash decision on his part. It wasn't a bad break up. He wanted to break up, of course I was fighting it, but he said he needed space so I respected that and that's about it. No yelling or screaming or anger.

 

My guy friend also said that my ex probably hasn't asked for his things back right away because he probably wants an excuse to talk/see me in the future. Tbh I haven't dropped it off for this very reason too. Everyone's telling me that we'll get back together but of course I'm trying not to buy into this false hope and focus on myself as much as I can. But this week he definitely needs it and I still have it.

 

He's contacted me twice since the BU asking how I was. I replied both times (because I want to be cordial) saying I was good. He replied again both times but I never responded since I want to keep contact to a minimum (in hopes that he'll realize himself the BU was a rash decision with LC/NC).

 

Was I supposed to give his things back on my own? He needed space so I figured he'd be the one asking for it back. Thoughts on this situation?

Have a friend pick it up and drop it off at his doorstep.

 

Done, over.

Yes, if you do it want it hanging over you or just ignore it altogether.

He broke up with you, so it is not your responsibility to make sure he has his stuff, if he wants it back, he can contact you, either directly or through friends.

You could be like my ex and just give the stuff away so when he asks for it you can say what my ex told me "It's not possible to give you your stuff back"
