Parting Gift

Recently, my girlfriend and I broke up. We dated for a year about four years ago, then split up. We got back together recently but only for a few months. During that time I had a lot of problems go wrong in my personal life that she was loosely tied to, and eventually those issues came between us and our feelings faded in a weird way. We still care about each other, but it’s just best that were apart.

During our time together we had a “song.” After we split up, I went on to do a lot of studio recording, none of which she knows about. Many of the tracks ended up turning out very well, and one of the songs I recorded was our song, due in large part to the fact that I never really got over it. I never told her about the recording, but I’ve had it for a few years now. I wanted to tell her when we got back together, but for some reason I just never got around to it. Anyways, tonight was the night we decided to call it quits, and I had a question that I don’t have an answer to:

If you were on her end, how would you feel if I gave the CD?

It’s important to know that she knows I’m not trying to “win her back” or anything like that. We both know what is best for us right now, and we’re clear about that.

Would it bother you? Make you sad? Make you rethink your decision?

I want to give it to her, because I feel like she is responsible for it to begin with. I just don’t know if it would be a bad idea or not. And, switch it around for guys/girls. Let me know what you think, too, guys.

Thanks in advance.

I think that would be a really nice thing to do. It shows that you had something special and that she really meant something to you. It might make her sad but I think that she will feel sad anyway as you are breaking up even though you still care about each other.

As long as you are clear that you are not trying to win her back then go for it. I think it would be a nice way to end things.

Shows that you still care for her, I think it's a lovely gesture.

Yeah might as well give her the CD, what you got to lose.

I'd put a nice note with it too explaining when you did it why you want her to have it so theres no misunderstanding about feelings etc
She'll think its nice, I'd say go for it
xx

Dooooo it! :smile:

I'd be really touched! you obviously no what you do and don't want and as you say you still care about each other so I'm sure she'd like it!!

Really lovely gesture... good idea about the note (someone above said it) too!
