Yup, almost like she's trying to absolve her own guilt or something. That or she's just a bit self-absorbed to think he would even want/welcome a gift from her at this point or be thankful for it.

Move on. You dumped him for a reason. The time to show appreciation for the way he treated you was when you were dating, not after the fact.

Why do people give bad meaning to good gesture? That's probably why some good people don't do good things to others anymore because they don't want other people to give a false meaning behind it.

You dumped him, you haven't contacted him in 2 weeks and he hasn't contacted you because it's over.

Why would you want to keep picking at that scab. Do you actually think he'd welcome it? If you want to be friendly with him wait a few months and contact him then. Give the guy a chance to get over you before you initiate contact again.

Like what I said on my previous post. I broke up with him through a text message. He never responded. Then a week later, he sent a text saying "blah" whatever that means. I never replied to that.

And you want to still send him a gift? He doesn't want anything from you. Return it and move on. Clearly he has. The last thing I'd want is any sort of gift from someone who I used to date.

Way to stay classy.

We have broken up before but we got back together but this time I think its for good. Anyway, before we broke up I already got him a present for Christmas. Should I still give it to him or just return it? We haven't talked in two weeks. I kinda want him to have it because when we were physically together he treated me well. This is the first time that I've paid something for him. He never let me pay for any dates. I just want to show that I appreciate it but I have no plan of getting back together. Thank you.
Ummmm.... absolutely NOT!!! You were never officially together...you broke up because of communication issues...It is over, let it go...Get the money and invest in a well needed massage...and think about the new year...

I dont know but I felt that he sent that text to open up the communication but I did not reply to it. Like what I said, we never had any other issues except the way he communicates. When were together, he treated me really well but I don't want to get back together tho.

That doesn't change the answer to your gift question.

Wow, you dumped him in a text message? And now you want to send him something that's going to remind him of you all the time? It doesn't sound like you respect him at all.

If there's communication issues, then sending him a gift will be even more confusing for him.

I understand. I just felt bad because he paid for all our dates and treated me well and I didn't do much for him. I broke up with him instead. Then he sent that "blah" text maybe to start a conversation but I just ignored it.
