Diamonds Down the Drain
 

So my on again off again boyfriend and I have been on again for about a month. When I broke up with him, I left some of my things at his place. During the year that we were together, he had given me several gifts of jewelry. I left some of them at his place. He returned my things the other day sans jewelry. I told him that he had forgotten to give me a few things. He handed me a little jewelry box containing diamond stud earrings and said that he had thrown out the jewelry that he had given to me. I thought that he was kidding because who does something like that?! Well, apparently my genius ex boyfriend did. I asked him if he threw the jewelry down the chute. He lives in a building with a garbage chute. He said that he had flushed them down the toilet. :eek: He got drunk and mad and flushed them. He flushed diamond earrings, amethyst and diamond earrings, an amethyst bracelet similar to this one, and a diamond heart pendant and chain. I know that this isn't the best jewelry in the world, but it was a gift from him so it meant something to me. I am more sad than mad and more confused than sad. He said that he would replace everything, but the thought that he could do this has made me ill. I know that this isn't the crime of the century, but I think that this is crazy behavior.

Any thoughts. advice, similar experiences? Am I the only one with a crazy ex?

WHO on earth flushes diamond jewelry down the toilet?!?!? I can't believe that. He must've been realllllllly drunk...

No, you are not the only one with a crazy ex. My ex never flushed anything down the toliet but everytime that we would get into a fight he would come over to my house and collect everything he had given me which included a garnet ring, ruby earrings, a ruby necklace, and a charm for a necklace that belonged to his mom. After we would make up he would give everything back. I guess he wanted to make sure that he got them back in case we were really breaking up...he was just weird like that.

I broke up with him in 1998 and I still have 3 out of the 4 things that he gave me, lol.

You need to bust a cap in his a$$.

I know. I have considered physical violence, but I have decided to torture him financially. He'll replace all of that jewelry in addition to the new diamond earrings that he bought. When I think about him flushing my jewelry down the drain, I really could kick his ass! Normally I am :D, but I feel like thishttp://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/rough/fal.gif http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmili...ugh/xyxgun.gif and want revenge.

I have said it before and I will say it again...Cream is a pimp! :D

I have a VERY crazy ex...I would post the newspaper clippings, but I am not trying to put myself out there like that.

I will just say that on Friday he was convicted of child abuse and is facing 20 years in prison.

(ETA: Not my child!! No kids for me!! lol...)

I love jewelry; it hurt just to read your post, Cream! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

And I thought my ex was bad when he returned all my stuff sans my Clash and Sex Pistols tapes!

I AM A PIMP! I have his credit card in my wallet which I used to replace some of my jewelry. Damn that felt good. :cool:

I think that your ex qualifies as criminally crazy which is much worse than my Sir Drinks-a-lot McFlushy.

This is really weird to read this... my boyfriend of almost two years just broke up with me (he "still loves me" and blah, blah, blah, but "wants to see other people" and "doesn't want commitment" Can you tell I'm annoyed?)... when he did this, I tried to give him back the diamond earrings and sapphire necklace he gave me (along with the new chain for it that he gave me 3 days before dumping me... weirdo), and he wouldn't take it back. I understand that these were gifts for me, and I didn't ask for anything back that I gave him (I wanted him to have all the things that showed how much I loved him), but I felt like I couldn't wear any of the jewelry anymore because those were symbols of his love for me... which, in my opinion, is nonexistent even though he says he still loves me. GRRR... WHY ARE GUYS SO STUBBORN!!!!???? (I still have the stuff by the way... he refuses to take it back)

Well, I can see his perspective -- what's he going to do with it? It's (probably) too late to return it, he can't wear it, and it would be tacky as hell to give it to another girl.

I can understand his perspective, too, but I don't know what he would do with it... I mean, I don't think he'd be an ass enough to give it to another girl, and he couldn't return it... I'd rather him sell it...

KEEP THE JEWELRY! They were gifts from him so they are yours. My big mistake was accidentally leaving the jewelry at his place.
