Recentley split up with ex and moved out, as I moved in with a friend I had to leave all my furniture there.

He has bought some of it off me, he bought a large corner sofa, double wardrobe and a kingsize ottoman bed. He paid £400 for the sofa and wardobe (they where relatively new, a year old?) and £200 for the kingsize bed.

Just cant help but feel a bit ripped off for the bed as I bought it from Benson for beds a few years ago and I think it was 500+ but then part of me thinks at least im getting something? He has also given me his double that he had.

Just feel a bit all over the place as living with a friend and all I have is my clothes etc.

On a side note the relationship was REALLYY toxic so glad to be out of it! Tell me it gets better! 😊

It’s a second hand bed that you bought several years ago. £200 is plenty. And you have a replacement.

But I suspect it’s not really about that. You are just hyper focused on these rather than the breakdown of the relationship?

Surely before he bought them, you agreed a price together? You can't feel ripped off if you agreed to it.

@Andromachehadabadday Yeah maybe, I am glad to be out though.

@Watchkeys yeah we did, 200 was the max he was willing to pay and atm I have no use for it as it wont fit in the room im in.

£200 is very good for a bed for a bed that cost £500 a few years ago, plus he gave you a double bed.

Not seeing the issue

At least you got something. I'd cut your losses and continue building up your life now. Glad you are out of it. I'm also a month out of a relationship that wasn't good for me. It's hard. I'm still over thinking it all currently. He actually owes me money. Its never easy.

Just cut your losses OP.

Losing a few £s is a small price to pay to lose a toxic relationship.

Good luck x
