    They are your belongings, and so you are entitled to do whatever you have to in order to get them back. After all, you only want them back. If he gave them now, it would save all this trouble and there would be no reason to get mean.

    They are your belongings and obviously the ring has great sentimental value for you. He should understand this, regardless of how things ended for the two of you. If he doesn't reply, then leave him a message saying that you don't necessarily need to see him, you just want your things back especially the ring. If he still doesn't reply, then I would think about getting someone to help you - a (big) friend or the police.

    Good luck!

    I would love to just let him have my things, but one important thing is a pearl and diamond ring ( my mom gave me) so I have to get that back. The flip side is I know he will at some point contact me. I am just thinnking & feeling just wants to do it on his terms. I just don't want to be this psycho ex-gf. We had a crazy break up. It has been a week and he has not returned my phone call. What is the next step?

    It depends how much the stuff means to you. If it was something like a sterio or a car - GET MEAN.

    you could serve him with a legal letter for your things...but frankly, I think the chances of you getting them back aftet so long are minimal...my gut feeling would be to cut your losses and move on...it's over and your things have been tossed out.

    Send a letter by snail mail. Let him know that he has 5 days to make arrangements for you to get your things back. List all the things that you can think of and add a note saying -- and anything else that I left there that is not on this list.

    Add a note saying that if you have not heard from him by the date listed that you'll take whatever steps are needed to get your belongings back.

    If he does not respond or responds in a hostile way just take a copy of the letter with you to the police station, tell them what happened, they'll ask you to file a report. All you have to do is write in your own words what happened.

    They will contact him and give him the option of being charged with theft or returning the goods. He will very likely return the goods.

    I once kept a telephone that a girl had left at my place. She broke up with me. I was angry and wanted to be a jerk about it so I said "no" not till we talk this out. She contacted the police and they called me. I returned the phone. I also respected her for the way she handled it.

    There was nothing mean about what she did by contacting the police. My not returning her telephone was the only mean thing anyone did in that situation.
