Input: My ex lost a gold bracelet or some kind of jewellery when we were dating. Let me say it was years ago I'm talking 2014-15. She asked about it a lot then and we looked for it together but we gave up and thought it was missing for good. Lo and behold I find it in 2019 buried under garbage in a compartment in my car. I was low on money so I went to one of the gold for cash places and sold it. 

Admittedly a bad thing to do cause I remembered it was hers. We broke up in 2016 but we have mutual friends and although we don't talk I see her sometimes. So yeah I could've given it back. I kinda felt like an asshole but I came to peace with it because it's been years she probably forgot about it and she had tons of gold jewellery cause her family gifts her that kinda thing all the time. 

One of our mutual friends is my best friend. We were talking about money and I accidentally brought up the cash for gold thing and eventually had to tell him the truth about it because I couldn't think of a cover. Dumb of me to let it slip but nbd cause he's my best bud and she's a friend from high school. Well he made me feel like a huge steaming pile of shit for not giving it back. I crashed with him for a while and he even insinuated that he can't help but think I might be behind things he's lost. The bracelet was completely different then stealing from your best friend who helping you out by letting you crash with them right? Cause I'd never do that. 

Not saying I think what I did was right but I thought it was excusable. And now since then things with my bud aren't the same. We're still friend but it's tense and he's cold toward me and the more I think about it the more I'm on the fence. Was I an asshole?
