should I keep the tickets?

For my husband's birthday I bought tickets to a professional football game.  He and the neighbor were suposed to go.  He was not really thrilled with the gift.  Since then he has moved out.  Said he isn't happy.  The neighbor gave me his ticket stating he didn't want to go with my husband because it would be ackward.  So i decided I would take my son and go myself.  So husband calls and now wants the tickets to take his new girlfriend.  We aren't even legally seperated.  he just moved out.  should i give him the tickets or should i take my son.

Thanks to all those that responded.  I have decided to keep the tickets and take my son.  At least my son was more excited about them then my stbxh was.

He didn't like the gift and abandoned it behind when he left and the neighbor gave his ticket back to you. I would take my son to the game and have a great time. And if you have any luck on your side, the TV camera will get you in a crowd scene and you could have a sign wishing him a Happy Birthday!

Screw him. Take your boy and have fun.  If he wanted them, he should have taken them. Ownership is 9/10's of the law. He abandoned the gift when he left.

I would take your son and enjoy every minute of it. I might feel differently if he had wanted to take your son, but the new girlfriend? No way...

Oooh...moral dilemma. Technically, the tickets were a gift that was given. And one was given to the neighbor, right? So the neighbor owned his, and your idiot (er..."husband") owned his.

 

But you said he moved out, right? But apparently in the process he abandoned his now-precious ticket (note intentional use of the singular).

Given the neighbor did the right thing, your choices exclude #2, IMHO. I suppose I'd feel some "moral obligation" to give him his single ticket. ("But honey-bunch, when you moved out to be with dear , you only left behind one football ticket.")

Sigh...I'm really with spaznskitz, though; you go and spend the time enjoying the game with your son. Some people just aren't worth worrying about whether or not you "did the right thing"!

Have fun!

I'm with Trisha on this one, although I'm probably a little more spiteful.  Is there somebody your husband really hates?  I'd give your husband one ticket, and give the other one to that person, hell, even give the other person some cash for beer.  :)

But that's just me.

Technically it was a gift though, so if you want to do the "right" thing, you ask the question "were both tickets a gift or just the one?"  If the answer is both, then an altruistic person would give him both tickets.

Me on the other hand, I'm not nearly as good as that.  Let us know what you finally decide.
