To give back a half eaten cheese board?

[Chaosandmadness]

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"

Was it Cheeses of Nazareth?

You’ve done the right thing 💐

You ate the Brie 😁

No, seriously, you’ve done the right thing breaking up with him, he’s a complete bellend. Have you told his ex anything that might help her? How long were you together?

I've GCSE Law - legally all gifts are yours to keep. Even an engagement ring. Tell him to do one.

I LOVE cheese. I eat FAR too much cheese. All kinds of cheese.

...except goats cheese. Bleurgh. I’d happily give him that back.

Sigh...it's a shame you couldn't stand by your Man(chego), but I guess it had to be done.

Don't give anything back. Presents are yours. Sounds like you are better off out of it, he's being an idiot

Sorry he's been abusive today OP. Sounds like you've really got his goat ('s cheese).

Sell the gifts and buy more Brie.

Honestly sorry it sounds like a crappy time for you but u would just ignore him/do nothing until he's calmed down and can behave better about it.

I sure you spent money on him too, it's like a teenager thing asking for gifts back!

I vote for enjoy the cheese and do nothing.

I've just had a cheese board - somerset brie and snowdonia black bomber cheddar. There is no way I;d be giving that back to anyone

I really REALLY get the temptation to dump the cheese on his door.

Eat the cheese.

Unless it's the abominable Wensleydale with fruit in. In which case crumble it over the other gifts inside the bag.

We were together just over a year. His ex actually wants him back and has been sending naked pictures of herself to him. She also offered him money for sex. He hadn't encouraged this as far as I know but hadn't discouraged it either despite me telling him to cut contact with her. Things came to a head over the weekend when I found out he was contacting her about things I had said or done. To be honest I don't think he really got over her and I was the rebound

He bought you a cheese board for Christmas. How long had you been together for.
No ones every bought me a cheese board

If he really has been a horrible human being then I might spray the cheese with perfume or mush it up with his other belonging

Keep the gifts, he bought them for you, they are now yours to do whatever you want with. I am sure you bought him gifts too, which he is entitled to keep. As for the cheese, (I hate the stuff) so would probably post it through his letterbox! (I know its childish, but it would make me feel so much better).

Sorry OP , but this thread has made me giggle. I wish I was as poetic as the other posters on here.
Sending you and anyone who asks for anything back deserves to be dumped.

LTB; KTC

Sorry cross posted. Over a year.
I think a cheese board is a strange Christmas gift for a girlfriend , but he sounds like a wrong un all round.

This made me laugh. I also broke up with someone a couple days before Christmas and today I ate the cheese I bought for him

Goudammit woman definitely keep the cheese. You'd be Emmental case to give it back.

We’re you referring to the cheese?🤔

I also broke up with someone years back and kept the tattoo voucher I gave them. And got a tattoo with it

But a gift is a gift! You don't get to ask for things back if the relationship ends

If he had given you his grandmother's Faberge egg as an anniversary present (or similar family heirloom type things), I would understand why he might want it back, but even then you're not legally obliged to return a gift given freely

Cheese is much more dependable than men it seems
