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 expect he wants the PS4. I would give him that back and anything else you don't want (including the goat cheese if you don't like it) in a binliner.

Noooo...Wensleydale with fruit in is the best cheese ever! Don’t give that back!

Belenus · 30/12/2018 18:26

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

Unfortunately this is true. If not, I'd have a complete box set of Black Books DVDs. I miss those. The ex I gave them to, not so much.

And now I keep thinking of the cheeseman in the Buffy dream episode. I am the cheese, I wear the cheese (or something like that).

IncyWincyGrownUp · 30/12/2018 18:27

Slice the goats cheese, thinly, and insert it into the PS4. Leave in a warm room for a day or so. Then return.

Twat.

Slice up the goats cheese, insert it into any opening in the ps4, wrap it back up and put it at the bottom of the bag. Put a note in the top of the back "find the cheese".

You could take a selfie with cheese artfully arranged on your body and send it to him saying this is what you've given up

Consolidateyourloins · 30/12/2018 18:36

Blimey, IncyWincy and Trooth, were you twins separated at birth? Grin

Sarah22xx · 30/12/2018 18:38

He sounds like an utter wanker, keep it.

Chaosandmadness · 30/12/2018 18:40

Just getting DD to bed and then off to return the gifts. My DF is coming with me for moral support whilst my DM stays with DD. Am keeping the cheese although still undecided about the goats cheese

I think you should eat the cheese and give him the board with wrappers

Queequeg07 · 30/12/2018 18:43

But goats cheese is delicious OP.

Chaosandmadness · 30/12/2018 18:45

Goats cheese is the one cheese I've never tried. Does it taste similar to any other cheese? Is it like brie or camembert?

MsVestibule · 30/12/2018 18:50

It's definitely nothing like Brie or Camembert! It's quite a string smelling cheese, I love it.

Janleverton · 30/12/2018 18:51

Goats cheese is the devil’s food. Give that back.

1forAll74 · 30/12/2018 18:52

Have you got to return any of his clothes as well,,if so, wrap the cheese up in his boxer shorts for a nice classy effect.

DaysOfCurlySpencer · 30/12/2018 18:53

Goats cheese tastes of warm goat, it is foul. Let him have it.

LittlePaintBox · 30/12/2018 18:54

Sorry, OP, but I'm finding it quite amusing the way you got rid of the BF without any hesitation but are dithering about giving back the goat's cheese Grin

I think it's a cheek of him to ask for anything back, just give him stuff you don't want cluttering up your house.

paintinmyhairAgain · 30/12/2018 18:56

i can't get my head round the fact that ex offered him money for sex, is she that desperate ??
sounds like you dodged a bullet there op,well done for dumping the dick !

zarek · 30/12/2018 18:57

Go for reconciliation, over a cheese board and a civilised glass of wine..

Letshopeitsallok · 30/12/2018 18:57

Send back the PS4 but “lose” a vital component (power cable maybe).

HauntedPencil · 30/12/2018 19:01

Urgh what a load of drama you are well out of.

Why would he contact her at all after the nekkid photos

Allgirlskidsanddogs · 30/12/2018 19:02

Return it all. Put the cheese and cheese board at the bottom of a box hidden by other things and hope he doesn’t find it til it stinks him out . . . You are better off without him. I also agree to returning the PS4 ALMOST complete!

SaucyJack · 30/12/2018 19:05

No, don’t spoil a perfectly good PS4. That’s going too far Grommit.

Give it to charity- or even the kid over the road. Make someone’s day.

thegreylady · 30/12/2018 19:06

Goats cheese smells of goat which makes me reluctant to try it. I hope you return it in an envelope warmly wrapped.
