Nik's example of a gift from an ex was a mug, but people interpreted his question in a multitude of ways.
From physical objects to pets to lingering emotional turmoil, here are the "gifts" people can't seem to get rid of from their exes:
1. “When I was 18 I got a cat from my high school girlfriend. I’m 32 now. She’s gonna live forever!”
2. *Points at pregnant stomach.*
3. "She got me this stick on rolly ball thing. It’s pretty cool you can just stick it on the wall and rub up against it like a bear and work out the kinks in your back."
4. “She gave me her mom’s ashes and moved to NYC.”
5. "Bella Thorne and I have matching tattoos that say 'young as fuck' and I decided that the best placement for mine was of course on my ass.”
6. “Three stab wounds. One through my left forearm (knife), one the entire length of my thumb (knife), and one through my back (screwdriver)… do I win?”
7. “His wife.”
8. "It would have to be HIV. I was gonna say depression or anxiety, but no, it’s the HIV."
9. “Who would get rid of an Apple Watch? Just saying. And I filled it with pictures of my husband so…thanks!”
10. “Trauma. Definitely trauma.”
11. “The whole Harry Potter series.”
12. “The constant feeling that I’ll never truly be loved."
13. "The one thing I really can’t get rid of is HER. She lives across the fucking road from me.”
14. A music box that plays "You Are My Sunshine."
15. “Texting anxiety. Because of my previous relationships, whenever somebody texts me I text them back as if we’re never going to speak again just to save myself.”
16. "Um, kids. They’re 18 and 21. They’re cool, though. I guess I’ll keep them."
