It was his late wife -- your big friend -- who forked out whatever it cost to maintain you for a year, probably more than your gift. So on balance their joint account, which is now his, is in the red when it comes to you</del>.

I think Judy is totally wrong. If you even bring up the idea that the diamond earrings are 'your' jewelry, he may be so hurt he will never talk to you again. I think you should have a mutual friend talk to him about the earrings, if they are so damn important to you. You are obviously both hurting. I think Judy is totally wrong.

I am not saying this to be judgmental -- just trying to tell you that some men recover quicker than others!

The husband must know where the earrings originated. He obviousuy heard the whole story, eg his wife may have said "Rebecca is such an amazing friend, they were her grandmother's -- I love old jewelry!"So he doesn"t need to be reminded, or even told where those earrings came from. He knows exactly whom they used to belong to. Eddie is right. The husband must know where the earrings originated.

If he did then to my mind the subject is over. When you give a gift, you give a gift -- and one moves on from there.
