This is really off topic, but I'd rather post about it here than search for a community where it would be relevant.
About a month ago, a guy gave me a gift and tonight sent me a text saying he wants it back so he can use it as a gift for his family or take it to get the money back. It's a blue pendant with a silver bar around it. He told me it's not cheap, and he wanted me to buy a chain for it and start wearing it. I'm not that crazy about it, really. I think he expected more of a reaction, but he's been so rude to me over the past 3 years that I've known him, that one birthday gift is not going to turn around my ability to trust him. I've always been really kind and sweet to him, except for times when I would get really angry, but he would always treat me like dirt. When I liked and admired him, he would take me shopping for presents for other girlfriends, and he always criticised my personality. And lots of other stuff, but I'm not going to go into all that. He decided a couple months ago he wanted to date me, but that comes with lots of expectations. I think I am going to definitely give the gift back and then just not talk to him. It seems like a nice, clean break to a messy relationship. I just hope that I am strong enough to really not talk to him. It's hard for me to ignore someone until I'm really "over" them, you know? What do you think is the best thing to do in this situation?
