Why not give him a little time to heal. The holidays are hard enough.

He's a manipulator. That's exactly what he wants her to think.

Anything else that Badger paid for is hers to dispose of. She does not need to tell him anything about them.

the only "rush" to do this now is it's one of the better times to sell snowboard gear. The mountains are opening, and people might be looking for Christmas presents. Otherwise there's really no rush.
I don't think the holidays are any tougher than other times, it's not like he's ever had me spend it with him so we don't have any "holiday memories" for him to get over.

I agree with everyone else. Do not initiate contact as it will only open up old wounds. I would have your friend sell the snowboard and fishing poles. Then I would mail the bindings to his friend with a note asking him to kindly return to Mr X for you and that's it. I know this is tough but stay strong!

Hey what kind of fishing poles? My hubby is a big time ocean kayak fisherman and is always looking for gear.
Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

Give your friend in Washington a commission for selling the board for you, take the cash, and buy yourself something awesome for Christmas! If he has never made any effort to pay you back for it, it is yours, not his. Good luck.

It's for fly fishing. I think the one I got that's brand new and never used is a Redington 9' or something rather. If you're seriously interested, I can look at it and tell you for sure what size/weight. Originally Posted by Brandi
