used gifts. Options

[EmmalieV]

If your boyfriend got you a used gift ( like stolen from his mother/grandmother/sister ) , and you knew it was used but he just kept on tellin you excuses about why it didnt come in a package or why it was scratched up. What would you do¿

[*Funkadelic.Kiss*]

i'll tell him to give it back to his mother/gradma/sister. what if the mother/gradma/sister saw you with it & they thought you took it from them. you probably get it big shit.

Well, if it was from his mother/grandmother/sister, I would tell him to give it back. I suppose it depends on what it is, why he would give it to me, any history/background on the present and if he had permission to give it away. Like, if it was his mother's wedding ring, and she gave it to him to give to his future wife or something, then I wouldn't say no. But if he stole a stuffed animal from his sister to give to me, I wouldn't want it.
Hmm, my ex boyfriend gave me a used gift, kinda. It was one of his stuffed animals and I kept it because it kinda meant something to me that he would give me one of them (because he really liked those stuffed animals).

[Bridget_rules_4e...]

i would tell him i couldnt except it.....

[Latina Babii]

Well really there isn't enough detrails here, like if he had permission, if it was a ring, and he'd had permission, well, maybe it was treasured, and he'd wanted to give it too you, I'd be grateful, but if it was a last minute gift because he forgot something, and he grabbed whatever, and you'll proebly get in huge shit for having it, then I'd shove it in his face (done it ) If you don't want to be as rude, even though his actions could've possibly gotten you in trouble, then tell him you don't want it, don't like this either, well maybe yours and mines attitude isn't compatible lol.

"I don't want your (insert relative here) to accuse me for stealing her stuff."

[jennyjenny]

Me being pretty dumb and all, I wouldn't even realize that it was stolen.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

If it was passed down from grandma to mom and sister and stuff and was allowed to pass it onto you, id think it was sweet.

If he stole it from them , i would give it back to him and demand he return it to its rightful owner

[Weird And Psycho]

If my boyfriend did that, I'd get mad at him for lying to me, and I'd tell him to give it back.

He'd have to try reeeaaal hard if he wanted to be forgiven afterwards

[mai_z]

If it was like a heirloom or something, it would be sweet, but from what it sounds like, it's just like he forgot to get a present and stole something from his sister/mother. In which case, I would get mad at him for lying to me, and then give the thing back to his sister/mother.

same here.

but if it were a heirloom, it'd depend on how long you've been going out with him.

[islandkiss]

I would confront him. This reminds me of a friend who did exactly the same thing to his girlfriend. I think that if a guy gives you a used gift and tries to lie about it, it's pretty clear that they aren't that into you.

[Joss-eh-lime]

well theres a difference between he STOLE it or they knew he was giving it to you...if he took it w/o them knowing, thats lame.

[OverratedStupidi...]

I would tell him I know where it came from and politely ask him to give it back.

I don't want something of his parents'. That would just be weird.

[megan_x3]

I will ask where he got it from, and tell him to bring it back to his mom/sister/grandmother. But I don't know how to refuse ... it just breaks my heart to do that.
