SOCKS !

My Narc sent me socks this morning , They are cheap socks that where on the market for £2 a pair .
The card reads "Happy Christmas and a Happy new year love Narc"
I thought about sending them back but i think that would give him a thrill in some way . I think it would say to him that im still mad at him and that would give him some supply which is the last thing i want .
So what do i do with this discusting , mis shapen ,mustard yellow , offensive foot wear ?
Any ideas .

I got a chipped saucer

I got a chipped saucer once-no cup. I saved it to put keys and coins on and to remind me he was too crazy. The socks are too terrible-the color, mustard yellow, especially. If you pass a hot dog cart the vendor might think they were great. give the socks to him. One person's trash can be another person's treasure. It isn't easy to laugh at all of these crazy things they do but when you get to the final stages of healing you will recall and recount these 'tales of a narcissist' and laugh and laugh. My neighbor was so hurt and harmed by what happened to her and now she calls me and roars with laughter. She went from losing her home to him, he emptied the bank accounts, married the OW, and left her poor and homeless to having a new job, a lovely new place, new friends, and a whole new attitude and she feels this website got her to the good place she is in now! She was just given a bonus for doing a big cash collection for her employer and a relative gave her a free vacation in another country for Christmas. Good work ladies!

Socks for Christmas!

Well, Scoop! this actually had me laughing, though at first I am sure it wasn't funny to you, I hope you can see the humor in it now...they (N arcs) are the WORST gift givers...it goes along with what is in their heart, NOT MUCH!!! further proof that Narcs can only think of themselves. I am sure your favorite color isn't mustard yellow...and socks?...unbelievable. Maybe you could use them to dust with, or make a sock puppet out of the socks (for Voodoo purposes HAHA) and name it your Narc's name and stick pins in it. I rather like the suggestion that you use them for pooper scooper's and send a pic to him with a thank you card though! LOL ...and here I was just thinking that my $20 Walmart ugly black rubber snow boots that were on sale (marked down from $25) was a pretty interesting 'gift' for Christmas from my Narc (he bought them for me yesterday as he announced he hadn't gotten me anything yet and said he woud pay for the $20 dollar boots I was looking at while we were at Walmart picking up some wrapping paper. Nice sentiment from a man who I have been with for 3 years and live with for the last 2 years. And NOPE! he is NOT poor. Certainly could have put a little thought into something...maybe a neclace or earings or something nicer and more personal??? But your mustard colored socks for Christmas from YOUR Narc trump my $20 on sale snow boots from Walmart from mine! LOL Merry Christmas to all of us...it would make a funny post on the forum to tell what we got for Christmas from our Narcs...(instead of allowing ourselves to be hurt at their thoughtlessness) Isn't it funny that when thery first met us...and we could do no wrong in their eyes...they romanced, charmed and wined and dined us...(well, that was all before D & D ) How did we go from fancy dinners out,plays, movies, long walks in the moonlight, lots of sex, lots of kisses and their pouring on the charm, affection, attentiveness, romantic dates and evenings in...where they couldn't do enough...??? ...to now having about the value to them of one pair of mustard yellow socks and a $20 pair of casual (and pretty ugly) plain black rubber snow boots. And being lucky if you even get a kiss goodnight...or good-bye I gues they have thoughts of other 'Christmas faeiries and Sugar Plums dancing in their heads'...the lying cheating JERKS!!! How romantic is being with an Narc...at the most romantic time of the year? NOT!!!!...(unless you just met him and he is idealizing you)...he is not even going to TRY... PS: THEY absolutely EXPECT a nice gift though...MINE has been hinting about a new watch and a digital camera (expensive top of the line of course...and STUPID FOOL that I am, I already got them for him weeks ago) Tomorrow morning as we celebrate Christmas...he will have these nice gifts to open from me...and I will have nothing under the tree...so I plan to sit there in my jammies and robe...wearing my $20 dollar UGLY black rubber snow boots...and see if he even notices...I have a funny feeling though, that he bought his OW something nice... (Hate him!...) and I wish THAT was true.

the girlfriend...

I'm sorry you will be subjected to yet another memorable Christmas with an N. Yuck. I can't resist observing how appropriate the boots are so you are prepared for the bullsh** getting deeper and deeper... If I ever feel the need to give an N a gift ever again, it will be a charitable donation in their name to a woman's shelter. They'd really LOVE that! But at the same time, what can they say? snicker...

oh my

scoop, I couldn't help but LOL at this! I don't know if you've seen the posts on here about what terrible gift-givers they are, but you should read some of those posts...hilarious! I think you should walk your dog, or a friend's dog...use a sock as a pooper scooper, and have someone take of picture of it...then send it to your ex saying you found a good use for the socks. Seriously, sending unopened gifts back sends a clear message to them, that you just don't care. Maybe next time he sends you something...? Merry Christmas...thanks for the laugh!

Ha ha

funny scoop.............mustard yellow too. I feel that way about the pressies my exN just sent but think that sending them back would give him a pay off. Give them to the recycling or homeless shelter or woman refuge maybe. Someone will like them. very sexy oooooooh

Ellen, I agree.

I think sending them back would give them some sort of satisfaction. I think it would be better to donate the socks or throw them away. Do not acknowledge in any way that you received them. Like everyone says, this is not a time to be your nice, caring self that you are. If it's rude, so be it. I think sending them back would be like telling him off. It would do no good, he would turn it around on you, how ungrateful and awful YOU are. It would be a waste of time and energy that is much better spent on you. My XN got me socks every year for Christmas. He got me other stuff too, but the socks were a standing joke between us because that's what I got the first Christmas. But they were usually the best part of the present. They were always the warm fuzzy ones for running around the house in. I still have and use all of them. If he gave me socks now that would hit me some. I told my daughter and her friend last night that I hope his new GF likes socks and anti-wrinkle cream. LOL I would love to see the look on her face, that fleeting look of shock, that he got her such impersonal gifts after they are getting SOOOOO close. I remember the thoughts that went through my mind the first 2 Christmases. After that I just expected crap I wouldn't like. And he usually delivered. I stopped trying too. Last year I got him a kind of ugly sweater and a long sleeved thermal shirt. I spent more on each of his sons than I did him. Sorry, this is about you, Scoop, not me. If you don't like the socks, get rid of them. If you like them, keep them and use them, but don't acknowledge to him that you got them. Have a merry Christmas!

What on Earth!!

He sent you socks!!!! That is sooo silly!!!! Precisely, give them to a donation center, and don't mention a word to the b---stard. He is obviously trying to get your goat, and rile you up. Take your heart and protect it from that!!!
