What Should I Do With It? One Last Update...pg 10

CareyCarey Posts: 2,361
edited June 2012 in All Encompassing Trip
You all seem to be a creative, clever (and sometimes ruthless) bunch...

I just had a $2300 diamond necklace delivered to my house that was supposed to go to my soon-to-be ex-husband's house. I can assure you that the final recipient is intended to be his new live-in girlfriend. I would never 'steal' the necklace, but, I would like to have a little fun with the situation.

As a side note - I left him last spring after years of his infidelity... and the new live-in (age 25) moved in with him shortly after my kids and I left (he's 45). He barely spends time with our children (only at my urging) and complains to me that he has no money because I am taking it all.

What to do, what to do......

    Do nothing. Just let it sit in a safe spot in your house and casually forget it ever delivered to your house. If he asks about it, then it's "oh yeah, I forgot that a box got delivered the other day." If it goes a few weeks or months with no mention then you just got some new jewelry (or cash from selling it).

    Sounds like you (and your children) have been screwed over and I can't blame you for wanting to play with this situation a bit.

    Still, I say be the bigger person and take the high road.

    This is what I recommend. I would assume an expensive package could be traced so eventually he's going to find out it went to your house.

    I plan to take the high road in the end, but I am thinking.....

    should I be wearing it on Friday when he comes by to drop off the child support check?

    Or, the live-in works in the same hospital with him, should I drop it by the OR directly for her, hand delivered by yours truly? He likes to have lots of girls going at the same time, it would be funny if this little goodie is meant for another girl :lol:

    I'd do a High Fidelity scenario,sell something else and give the necklace as a free gift :lol:

    or sell it and give the money to a Blood Diamonds Charity

    For sure! And if I wasn't taking the high road, I would sell it and buy 20 tickets to the next PJ tour and give them to the 20 best answers here ;)

    Not if she claims it never got there and said box was misdelivered to some other house with that said other person having no shame in keeping said mis-delivered box. And providing there was no signature. She could technically claim this story and who would ever know?

    When he shows up, start gushing and give him a big hug and tell him how much you love the necklace. Tell him it's a start on the road to forgiveness, but that he still has a long way to go.

    He will be confused and caught off-guard ... probably babel out a "you're welcome" and wonder back to his car with a dazed look on his face.

    EXACTLY what my mom said, let him sweat it out, say nothing, see how long it takes him to realize the mistake, and let him do the legwork to track it down....

    and then he can do this all day: :fp:

    :lol::lol::lol: This paints a funny picture, I thought about texting him to ask if he was trying to rekindle the relationship. But then the fun would be over and I am not ready for that yet :mrgreen:

    I would run right down to the mall and into one of those Claire's or whatever boutiques that sells jewelry aimed at preteen girls.

    I'd buy a $20 rhinestone necklace and put it into the box.

    Seal the box.

    And then hand it to him.

    This sounds like so much fun. And to him...he may never know the difference. Ex-husbands aren't all that clever after all

    No siggy required, I didn't even answer the door. It was just sitting there on the stoop.

    Yeah he sure sounds like an asshole, cries poor to you and the kids, and then showers the newbie with $2300 diamond necklaces.

    I think I change my answer, definitely make him sweat it out a bit
