Mh ex husband contacted me out of the blue a couple of months ago to complain about our divorce settlement, his wife's medical bills, and the cost of fertility treatments. We've been divorced for 15 years and didn't have kids together.
I was clearing out a closet and found some things of his: his deceased father's gold teeth fillings and a sentimental chess set that travelled the world with him. Should i get those things back to him |
Sure, why not |
Send them back. Why is he suddenly whining to you? If you don’t have kids or any ties together I’d block him. |
I would send them back. Send a note that says "Sorry your life is rough right now, thought you might want these". You should do package tracking just in case. And as proof that you take the high road.
You don't owe him anything but it would be decent to give those things back. |
Yes you should. Do people keep gold teeth from people have passed? I've never heard this. |
I would NOT give them back. Esp the gold filings, you can sell the gold. Tell him you lost all that stuff years ago. |
OP, do not listen to this jackass. |
Honest funeral homes will return gold fillings, jewelry etc when someone is creamated |
This is classy. A+ pp |
Absent any intense resentment against him, yes, I would mail these to him.
|
And don't let yourself be bamboozled into modifying the settlement, if that's what he's after. |
Yes, give them back. |
Pulling out teeth before someones cremated sounds strange to me. |
+1. You’d really rather be the kind of person who does the right thing when you have custody of someone’s sentimental things as compared to the kind of person who wouldn’t. Even if he’s a complete douchebag, you’re not really doing it for him personally, you’re acting in accordance with general standards of decency. And truthfully, getting these things out of your life quickly and uncontroversially is a way of decluttering anyway. |
Yes. Return those items back. ASAP Especially the gold teeth of your deceased FIL. ICK Also, stop entertaining your ex's convo's on the cost of fertility treatments & medical bills. |
