But men can contribute too. A bunch of years ago I got divorced and one of
the major contentions in the property settlement was the value of my ex-wife's jewelry. She claimed it was worth 10 cents on the dollar melted down for quick sale. I told the judge she was low-balling it's value and had appraisals to prove it. In mid-80's dollars the jewelry was worth close to $20,000. Because I bitched so much about her low-ball appraisals for the jewelry, the judge awarded me a bunch, and I mean a bunch, of women's jewelry "to make it fair." That's cool and I've keep it for future use as I've seem fit, like giving it to my daughter as a special gift. Today my ex asked me for the second time to let her wear "our" jewelry for the next year - a freaking year! My first impression is to tell her to go f'herself. How do people here think I ought to respond to her short of telling her to f'herself? |

Maybe she hopes you won't even remember she has the jewelry after a year. You could always respond by saying "I don't think so. I've been saving this jewelry to give to our daughter as a special gift." Probably as it is with all ex's, she'll start arguing with you about it and of course at that point you repeat yourself and hang up the phone or turn around and walk away. Good luck! dC |

Would she give it back at the end of the year, Bob? Would you find it worth
taking her to court to get it back? She could, actually, claim you gave it to her as a gift. Besides, it isn't "our" jewelry. The judge gave it to you, right?

If my ex asked me for anything short a punch in the eye, I'd laugh in her

If my ex ever *quit* asking for more, there'd be something wrong with her.
