To give back a half eaten cheese board?

Ended things with my DP last night. Understandably he is a bit upset and has been messaging me today having a rant. He has asked for everything he has given me to be returned so I intend to bag it up and deposit it by his house under cover of darkness tonight. AIBU to also return the half eaten cheese board he gave me before Christmas? When I asked him what to return he just said "everything"

I would keep the cheese, or return it but with a big sloppy bite out of every piece. Sorry op Flowers

Bibijayne · 30/12/2018 17:21

You're not obliged to return gifts. Borrowed items, yes. Engagement ring? Probably. General gifts? No.

Cheese and crackers later for me then. I know I'm being petty btw. I just wanted to make myself feel a bit better about a shit situation I've got myself into

You need to be mature, OP.

Playing silly cheese games is just not Gouda nuff.

Consolidateyourloins · 30/12/2018 17:24

Have you given him anything of value? Get it back!

Send the cheese board, eat the cheese.

colorao · 30/12/2018 17:24

In light of your update I'd eat the cheese and keep the presents.

OohLookAtThat · 30/12/2018 17:24

Definitely keep the cheese.

dontneedthedrama · 30/12/2018 17:24

This is a joke right ?
You've ended your relationship and now your worried about the cheese board GrinHmm

colorao · 30/12/2018 17:25

Mawkish 😂

Palaver1 · 30/12/2018 17:26

Ha ha lol
He wants you back and I bet you’ll be back together soonest.
Return the cheese if you please

Consolidateyourloins · 30/12/2018 17:26

@Mawkish hopefully he'll be forever provolone.

Maelstrop · 30/12/2018 17:26

Any gifts he gave are yours and he can't request their return. Give back anything you don't like. Eat the cheese.

ARoomSomewhere · 30/12/2018 17:26

I agree. Brie mature about it ;)

Mulberry72 · 30/12/2018 17:26

I’d rather return jewellery than cheese.......

SaucyJack · 30/12/2018 17:27

Depends what cheese is left, and what sort of gesture you’re trying to make.

If I were him, and there was any Wensleydale and cranberry left, I’d be enormously pleased to see it- whether I’d just been dumped or not.

MissConductUS · 30/12/2018 17:27

Put the cheese under the bonnet of his car, on top of the engine.

MickHucknallspinkpancakes · 30/12/2018 17:27

Breakups are never easy, Brie kind to yourself and next time you meet someone move more Caerphilly into a relationship.

MawkishTwaddle · 30/12/2018 17:27

Consolidate yes, sitting there among the de-Brie of his relationships.

MawkishTwaddle · 30/12/2018 17:28

I Camembert to think about it, really.

coppercolouredtop · 30/12/2018 17:28

id brie very maturechedder and say edam you! (ignore him and eat the cheese)

DianaT1969 · 30/12/2018 17:28

Out of curiousity, what else did he give you OP? What is he expecting back?

selepele · 30/12/2018 17:29

That’s petty just eat it

Luvey · 30/12/2018 17:30

Dear God woman what are you thinking!
You've had a breakup and there's half of the cheese board left .... And you're considering returning it. Jewelry yes. Cheese no flipping way!!

Thanks for cheering me up with the cheese related comments. I'm happy to return everything else if that's what he wants. I haven't asked him for anything back as they were gifts for him. Just want him out of my life now

He obviously feels this is nacho cheese. I camembert when people use cheese as a weapon. Brie the grown up if you can. If not, wrap it up caerphilly.
