Original Reddit post

I was with someone for almost 20 years, but we were never married. Engaged but never married. I never met his mother as she passed away before we dated and he often said we would have gotten along very well. Years ago his father gave me some of her jewelry. Nothing crazy valuable on a material level, but on a sentimental level it must mean something. We had a pretty terrible breakup initially and I left him for another man- a man that ended up being a violent psychopath. Its been six years since we were apart and I’ve always offered his mother’s jewelry to him. He has his sil and also has had a girlfriend for the last 6 years. I text him from time to time asking if he’s ready for the jewelry yet. I’ve mentioned him giving it to his sil, or that maybe his girlfriend would appreciate it. He never replies to those texts. But if I text him about say…a funny memory or an update on our cats- he replies right away. We both cried and apologized to the other many times over the phone. I miss him very much and if I could go back in time, I would have never left him. I used to tell him he was my holiday. My Christmas. My Thanksgiving. My everything. I have no other family. He was my everything and I forgot that. Could I hear from men why he won’t take back his moms jewelry? Of course I hope you all say that he still loves me. submitted by /u/HapaHawaii
