Hi Mumsnet, on the back of posts and replies here about ditched phone calls and a necklace, I finished my LDR yesterday morning. It was very very sad, kind, inevitable (I see now) given the circumstances.

Thank you for your help in getting this far x

So, we agreed to speak again on New Year's Eve morning, as friends, we are having space now until then to process our ending.

It was a huge kick up the backside on here about the necklace that helped me see i had to stop this LDR so he could be there for his bereaved dd without an 'us' to look after too.

Today an amazon prime packet has arrived. He must have sent it after our 'end it' call (we spoke at 10am)

It's the same necklace he'd bigged up to me (had hand made, engraved to his order etc) before and gave to his dd when she'd asked for it.

One of the biggest problems has been his future faking and big stories. I never know what the truth is, he's a performer and a very good one, funny.

And now I'm worn out with this push pull, I felt some relief at the ending of us.

Now, at the end of a long day don't wish to open this gift -it never was the thing he made it out to be- an easy Amazon Prime thing. I deffo don't imagine wearing it. I'm actually angry.

Am I being a cow?

AIBu to even think like this?

@Gemma2019 it does say it has three charms... photo...I took the jiffy out the Christmas gift bag but I'm not opening it

That's sort of where my mind was going @Chunkers but like @DisplayPurposesOnly says if I give it time it'll all change. Don't want to be unkind but thank you so much for the ffsakes!

His gift note says 'The three stages of love' it feels too soon to be funny.

To return the gift? Re-gift it?

I mean it's quite nice and all but hardly a big gesture. Also I would be very surprised if a 15 year old saw that and wanted to keep it.

You can return amazon gifts for credit, but I think keeping it as a reminder may be more useful to you!

Gemma2019 · 23/11/2019 11:47

Don't keep it - return it to Amazon. You mustn't let him feel smug that you've accepted his pathetic offering. You've got online photos as a reminder of it!
