If you were....

[Wild i]

...in that very strange and strained point in a long-term, monoto... er, monogamous relationship where you know that it's over, but you're just trying to find a place to live, AND you're sigo's birthday was coming up, but you're really not even speaking -- in fact, you can barely stand to breathe the same air, but you are still living in the same house and sleeping in the same (only) bed, would you get that individual a birthday present?

I was thinking of getting a large box and consecutively smaller boxes tightly sealed and wrapped. Inside the last box would be a card that says "One hard way to go."

Would that be wrong?

If it's really over don't get them anything... for what?????

Just leave him a note in the last box saying, "Can you sleep on the floor from now on?" [img]graemlins/cool_shades.gif[/img]

I would say get a friendly card...nothing romantic, just a plain ole happy birthday card...

Get a card (get a humorous card) anyway just to be civil. A soft answer or a humble heart turns away anger. Being civil and being at peace will make the departure sweeter when that person leaves.

A lil card would do, no present.

Ditto, the other will only hurt their feelings and no matter how shitty the sigo may act don't sink to their level. The older I get the less I like monogamy on a long term basis, cant we all just be monogamous for 48 weeks out of the yr and have 4 "vacation" weeks to just do whatcha want to do?

I feel you Wild I.....Im in the same situation.Hope it all goes well..

No need to be hurtful...think of what you would want happen to you if the script was flipped. Do the birthday thingy....then pack your belongs and get out.....why do they have to go....don't tell me it's economics, because that will not float. Either get out or deal with it(talk).

Sounds good as long as you don't mind AIDS.

Put a business card in the last box with a number to a good relationship Councelor...

I hate when a relationship becomes the "roomate syndrome".

Just get a card.There is no need to stay with someone for any reasons when you are unhappy.It seems like no one wants to be the bad guy.Be adults and talk it over.If it ain't gonna work,it ain't gonna work.Why waste each others time in a house filled with misery?

The best present for that person...freedom.

[kara]

set them free ...

Maybe this won't qualify as their idea of humourous but I believe I read there were break up cards on the market. One read: "Take the "L" out of Lover and it's "over" baby." Hmm ...
