Possible sentimental items life

[Kittycat124]

My STBXH left the marital home in February this year. When tidying out the attic, I found some of the gifts he was given for his christening. I’ve been advised to either
Throw away
Sell
Return
the items. What do you think i should do?

Also, are there any legal implications if I don’t return them?

I would return them personally. But it depends on how amicable your split is.

Please give them back to your ex ... no matter how bitter the divorce was ... don't prove to him you are bitter and twisted by chucking put his personal childhood memories from a family or friend of the family.

yes, i'd return those.

They may well mean something to your children (if you have them) one day. So no, don't throw them away. Give them back, or post them to him if you can't bear to see him.

Oh return them, do as you be done by

You have to return them. It seems plain spiteful not to.

The chance of him wanting them is very slim, but I'd return them to him.

Another vote for giving them back to your stbxh.

Unless there is some huge backstory- you return them. They may mean not a lot to you, they may not mean much to him, but they are his to do with as he wants. To do anything else is just spiteful, petty, and if the relationship is already poor between you, a good way to ensure it stays that way permanently.

it's funny, I despise my ex (due his shitty behaviour), but i do agree with pps on this. Those items should be returned. But anything joint or household - no. I had a similar dilemma on ex's porn collection which I knew nothing about. Sadly I couldnt ebay them and new laws in the Uk wouldnt allow me to sell it back to the company he bought them from. Suggestions on here included sending it back to his parents!! I didnt.

I have made sure that photos have been preserved for the DC when they are older. This probably falls into more that category.

I must admit I was drawn to return. He’s being horrid but it might give him some incentive to be nice

Return them, you know it's the right thing to do, anything else is beneath you.
