Reply #35: call him again and ask if he knows if they're an heirloom

[Orangepeel]

another poster suggested he might feel stalked if you call him again. I doubt it (personally, I wouldn't feel stalked until three calls :-)), but you'd know that better than anyone here.

If you think calling him again wouldn't be painful for him, I think you should call him again and just say, casually, that you remembered a string of pearls his mother gave you. He knows how crazy you were at the time and you can't remember if they are a family heirloom or not. If they are, would he like them for one of his sons to give to his wife or daughter?

It sounds like you've made this necklace very important your mind by stewing about it for so long (and, they're a reminder of a very bad time in your life), but chances are, it won't be any big deal to him.
