Question - (26 April 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 26 April 2012)
A female United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

My ex and I broke up when I was 14 wks pregnant.

His choice not mine . Through my whole pregnancy he was less than Kind. As advised by an attorney I kept him up to date on dr appointments and allowed him to be at the birth. We were together 4 yrs. He is a decent father when he is present.

His family have embrace my son and myself.

He has not started dating even though it's been 18 months since we broke up.

Recently he gave me a rather costly birthday gift.

Mind you in the 4 years we were together I recieved 2 gifts Neither cost much. This gift is a necklace . I'm not sure what to think about this or if I should keep it.

Im a little confused why now an expensive gift.

We are not together nor has there been even any physical contact in over a year.

Is the gift just a gift or is it more.

Tisha-1 agony auntIf that's all that's he's given you and there's nothing else in his behavior or demeanor, I would assume it's just a token gesture. Perhaps out of guilt?

Why can't you ask him? "John, I'm a bit confused by the gift of the expensive necklace. I appreciate your gesture but I guess I'd like to know what it signifies. Was it just a nice birthday present or was there some meaning behind it that I'm missing?"
