A little back story:

 

I broke up with my girlfriend a few weeks ago and, yeah, it was rough. However, there is no animosity and I'm moving on as one does in these situations - there wasn't infidelity or overly negative situations, one of us fell out of love with the other and it ended.

 

The problem is that I am packing for a planned move and I discovered a few items of clothing that are hers. She was always into fashion and I know for a fact that these items are some of her favorites - not just inconsequential things that can be tossed or donated.

 

I tried to make contact with her but she obviously doesn't want to speak to me and I don't want to push it. I also contacted a few of her friends explaining the situation and they haven't gotten back to me.

 

I don't want to be a jerk and donate things that she genuinely likes, but I'd rather not have an ex's things hanging in my closet.

 

What should I do?

Make one last attempt at contacting a friend. Indicate a time and date that you will be leaving the items on the curb, in a bag.

 

Then wash your hands of the situation.

Ha!

 

I guess this situation is kind of moving towards that anyway. I doubt anyone else will disagree with you, but I'm going to see if there's any other responses that pop up on here JIC.

 

Thanks.

I was thinking that, but it may be a little difficult for two reasons:

 

- She was about to move herself (September was the planned date).

 

- On top of the costs of mailing the items (there are enough items to be a complete and utter bother), she also left a dog cage that would be too complex and expensive to send.

 

I was really just hoping to either leave them at a mutual ground or at her place, but like I said I'm not going to do it unless I get a green light. Otherwise I'm either stuck with them or I get rid of them.

 

Thanks, though.

ohhhh, i see.

 

there is also another option (something i did) - but in my country it's much cheaper than mailing... so not sure if money will be a problem - i put my ex's things in the storage and rented if for around a week. prior to that, i did try to contact him & his family... no response. so i had the things in the storage for about a week (even payed for it but i had the option for the other side to pay for it, you have the things in the storage and the bill goes to that person) - and sent him the keys. after a week - if he didn't show up... things were discarded and donated by the company that keeps the storages. my ex did show up and picked the things.

 

not really sure if that's an option especially because you got a lot of things including a dog cage and you gotta actually transport those things to the storages so... just throwing ideas out there! lol.

 

but other than that, i'm with carrie. you did try to contact her - try again with friends and if you get no response? oh, well. don't throw stuff away though, donate.

 

may i ask - why are her friends not communicating with you? i understand her, assuming that you dumped her no but friends...? =\

You made an honest effort. Put the clothes in a bag and put the bag in the kennel then drop it off at a neutral friends place or place a text saying it's outside (or about to be) then forget about it.

 

People pay money to use square footage. You are not free storage for a bimbo busy swinging dick to dick.
