Hi, SlimJim87:

I can provide one point of view from "the other side" (I'm 50 and have gone through my share of heartbreaks).

Why did she do it? Because if she's as super rich as you say she is, very little holds any value for her. Including people and their feelings. She probably sees you as little more than a pebble on a beach, one out of many to be picked up, carried along for awhile, then skipped into the water to see how many times you'll bounce.

I was lucky--in my first breakup I got everything I gave back (it wasn't much but it was priceless to me). That could be because I was there when he broke it off. All totaled it probably wasn't worth more than a few bucks (this was back in 1980) but it meant everything in the world to me.

Why in heaven's name would you give her something after you broke up? You didn't save the receipt? You certainly could have returned it to the store and gotten a credit to use at some time in the future.

People can be extremely heartless and I'm sorry you were victimized by one so uncaring. Mourn your loss (when you look back after awhile you'll see that it was waaay more her loss than yours) and move on with your life. There are some questions that will never be answered and many of them have to do with relationships.

Good luck and do keep posting.

shes crazy. shes probably just wants the drama

i dont give a crap about the relationship, im just mad about my stuff! and i still gave her the gift cause i bought it off ebay so couldnt return it, but she didnt know that (yea the main reason she broke up with me was cause i was "cheap" hahahah). its a month later and im still mad.

No, you're not crazy. She's the one who threw your stuff away. It doesn't matter how much it's worth, it's still yours and she shouldn't have thrown it out.

The gift was a gesture on your part, as far as she knew, to show there were no hard feelings. Tell me, who is not going to look cheap to a rich girl? Answer: A rich guy.

You have the right to be mad.

Of course you have every right to be upset about the way this one turned out but after you've mourned your loss (however you do it) you need to move on. Everyone heals at different rates so don't necessarily listen to those people who tell you to snap out of it (unless they're your good friends).

She is , no doubt about that and you may be able to take comfort in the fact that she is a very lonely person with a hollow core. All the money, jewels, stock options, whatever won't fill up her void.

Unfortunately you won't get your stuff back and you have a right to stomp around for awhile but all the stomping won't bring it back. You will, however, find other treasures that, although they won't be able to take the place of the stuff that's gone, will hold special memories for you.

Lonestarguy is on the mark about her, as are the other posters.

Please keep posting--you need to get this out of your system and on to more healthy things.
