A 22-year-old girl was dating her boyfriend for just under 3 years, and then they split up 3 months ago.
They were together while they were both still in college, and when they first began seeing each other, her now ex-boyfriend gave her two of his sweatshirts to wear.
His sweatshirts both had the letters of his fraternity across them. Since breaking up, though, her boyfriend has tried to get her to return his sweatshirts to him.
“A month ago, he tried to get in contact with me to get these sweatshirts back,” she explained. “Mind you, we are both graduated now, and he has many other sweatshirts with his frat letters on them.”
Her ex-boyfriend didn’t reach out to her directly; instead, he reached out to one of her friends to see about the sweatshirts.
She admits that she did not have a clean break-up with her boyfriend, and it was rather messy.
After splitting up, she told her ex-boyfriend that she did not want him to contact her at all, but he continued to try to get in contact with her as he was struggling to move on.
Her ex-boyfriend wants her to give him “more closure,” and he won’t accept that she wants him to stop.
While they were breaking up, she felt that she laid it all out for him as to why the relationship wasn’t good, so there was nothing left to say.

Back to his sweatshirts; when he spoke to her friend and her friend refused to engage with him, he resorted to reaching out to her again about the sweatshirts.
“At the time, I thought I mistakenly donated them, so I told him that I was sorry, but I didn’t think I had them anymore,” she said.
“Last week, I found them. I have been going back and forth about whether I should reach out and give them back or if he would take this gesture the wrong way.”
“For context, he did not treat me the best, so that’s why I am hesitant to reach out.”
Do you think it’s a good idea for her to mail her ex his sweatshirts back, or should she really just get rid of them since he thinks that’s what happened anyway?
