In my head less and less.
1 week before my ex and I broke up, she bought me an expensive Nixon watch.

I try to wear it but it makes me feel horrible. When I picked up my stuff from her house, she left the box and receipt.

Do you think if I exchange it for a different watch, I could wear it with less pain?

Or should I just let it sit in my closet?

It's an amazing and beautiful watch and I hate to let it sit there. I know this is a mind game she's playing and it is working.

There is another watch that's $50 more that I could get.. But what if I run into her and she wants the watch back?

Help.
 
Sell it / donate it. Do not keep it or exchange for something else. The new watch you buy will have the same emotional attachment - it was 'her' watch. Sell it, get money, spend money - the emotional attachment goes.
 
people generally don't hand someone the box and papers for items that they will eventually want back(?) I wouldnt let that aspect of it concern you. it'd be worth it to me just to get rid of anything that had painful memories connected to it. no matter how nice the thing is. Advice above is correct. Anything you buy with THAT MONEY is going to have ex written all over it.
 
sell the watch and make a car payment with the money or better yet buy something musical for your DJing equipment or something. she loses out and you win.
 
sell it, cop some trees or something... smoke them... think of the good times... move on...

Ok, do this, exactly like I tell you:

Send her an e-mail, text or even a mail that says at some point:

"The moments we spent together were truly beautiful. When we (state a moment that matters to her) I felt amazing. The watch you gave me will always remind me of that."

You keep wearing the watch afterwards. It will feel ok. The mechanism of it is:

She: I bought you a preeety watch and this is how you repaid me :( =/= slits wrists
You: The watch reminds me of the beautiful moments we spent together and makes me feel amazing.

Don't play her sick game. She wants the watch to symbolize the end, you want it to symbolize the climax.
 
You see, the watch is a memory of her, which I think you deserve. A more perverted individual would call it a trophy. It's not something you give away. You will probably regret it. It has an emotional attachment to it and if she means for it to have a negative emotional attachment, she is a piece of shit who can't get get over the fact that it's finished and uses cheap tactics, household wife tactics.
 
I would send her back the watch through insured mail/Fedex. There's a reason this relationship did not work, and wearing a reminder of it on your wrist seems unhealthy.
 
Sell it for cash and buy drugs with it to ease the pain. That is the only logical option.....at least that I can think of.

edit: Hold on I came up with another option. Sell it fro cash and get a prostitute, or if you are a girl then whatever the female equivalent is to a man getting a whore.
 
You're not really obligated to give the watch back to her but I think it would be the right thing to do. Especially that it seems it may have been an unpleasant break-up (apologise if I'm wrong but you said that you don't want to ever see her again) She gave you this gift recently, not a month or a year ago. I wouldn't feel good keeping it or any proceeds that came from it but that's just my opinion.
 
Sorry bro a Nixon isn't an expensive watch. I wouldn't put much value in a Billabong product, all being overvalued shoddy and mass produced (this lack of intrinsic value underlines the recent net losses and devaluation of Billabong stock). Anyway.. most you're talking a couple of hundy, never let money especially such a small sum direct your moral compass.

Personally I would return the watch to the store saying it's an unwanted gift, if you can get a cash refund great, if not you can get store credit. either use this on yourself or if you want to play the moral high ground then send her the cash or credit note maybe with an extra 20 or so tucked in just so she knows who the better person here really is .
 
im not givin the watch back.

fuck her. she left the receipt and box dude, shes being a psychotic bitch obviously.

other suggestions?

I think im going to get some clothes with store credit.
