"I woke up Valentine&amp;#039;s Day morning and was surprised to see a text from my ex, Robbie. I thought it was so sweet of him to think of me, even though we aren&amp;#039;t together anymore. Well, at least I thought it was sweet until I read his text: Robbie had texted me asking for the necklace he gave me for our anniversary back. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m sorry, but it is what it is,&amp;quot; he texted. I was furious. Robbie had given me the necklace as a gift. Why shoud I give it back? I certainly wasn&amp;#039;t asking for anything I gave him back! I called my mom and then my best friend. They both totally agreed with me. &amp;quot;A gift is a gift, not a deposit,&amp;quot; my mom told me. When I recited this to my ex, he told me I no longer deserved the necklace and he wanted to return it because he could use the money. My ex doesn&amp;#039;t have a lot of money and I always knew it was a generous gift. But I think he was just looking for a way to get back at me for breaking up with him. Things didn&amp;#039;t get any easier as the day went on with all the photos of roses popping up in my Instagram feed. But I couldn&amp;#039;t blame my friends. I had acted the same way last year on Valentine&amp;#039;s Day when Robbie had sent me roses. How had we gone from best friends to fighting over a necklace? I decided to call him to talk it out. It was so easy to be mean over text message, but actually talking on the phone made us both soften. Talking to him made me realize that the breakup hurt him and that might come out in ways that catch me off gaurd. But that doesn&amp;#039;t mean I&amp;#039;m ready to give the necklace back. My relationship with Robbie meant a lot to me and the necklace is a symbol of that. I&amp;#039;m keeping it in its proper place in my jewelry box...for now at least.
