I was planning on buying my girlfriend a car to replace her junker, and out of the blue, she breaks up with me. She can’t afford another vehicle on her own and we live 30 miles apart. I just won $500 in a raffle
and received a check in the mail from an investment- which I had planned to surprise her with this coming week when we saw each other again. I’m in the process of trying to get things ready so I can start looking to buy a house, and that’s going to take a little time and money. We live 30 miles apart and it doesn’t look like there’s much chance of us getting together again (her choice) or even coming across each other in a store. I don’t owe her anything and she doesn’t owe me anything. What should I do?

I think that would be something you would regret later.

Ummm. NO! Do NOT buy her a car. She just dumped you!

Don’t be stupid. Let her get her own car, she’ll likely take the car, just not you too.

Unless you have some hope of putting the relationship back together I’d stick it in the bank.
Nice is one thing…..but c’mon here.

Unless you are completely stupid, don’t buy your EX a car. WTF!

Definately not. Save the money for you downpayment on your house. It doesn’t sound like she expects you to buy her anything, and if you did she would just think it was because you’re desperate to get back together with her.

Do not complicate your relationship by adding more history to it, particularly financial history.
What if you end up buying her a lemmon?
If you compelled to help her out here, simply give her the $500.00 towards the car and declare yourself “Done”.

Uh forget her and move on. That was so easy cause you just said that there is no chance that you will see her again, so y buy her a car for her to check someone else with it cause if she is over you then buying har a car won’t change anything. The most you might get is a ‘thanks’. Direct your ‘luck money’ to your big investment – your house, it might help a little.

Do NOT buy her the car. Why would you buy a car for someone who broke your heart? You seem to have great plans in place – buying a house – so go do things for yourself, not for her. If you don’t owe her anything, and there were no legal documents in place saying you’d purchase anything for her, then let it go, as hard as it may be. Just move on with your life and do things for you – you deserve that much at least.
Good luck.

HELLO……she broke up with you. Don’t spend one penny on her. Usually when someone breaks off a relationship there’s a replacement for you ready and waiting.

if yall have kids and she dosent have a car,and dont have a way of taking him/her to the doctors or school then go for it but other than that dont do it.

keep the money for yourself, you sound like a lovely person, save yourself for someone who deserves one so caring… you’ll just come out a fool if you buy her it now mate..

in your situation only flowers are appropriate. no cars!

Sounds to me like you want to buy her it.Maybe you’re hoping you’ll see her around.I can’t say that even with no hope I wouldn’t be thinking “hey,maybe this way we’ll bump into each other”.Tough decision.Who’s to say you actually won’t get back together?I would try to contact her first.See how things go.If they go well,go for it!
Good Luck!Just don’t try to ‘buy’ her back.

It won’t be wise buying a car for a break away friend you are not sure of having back more so as you don’t owe her any thing and vice versa. Even if you buy the car, how shall you be able to present it to her since the chances of two of you coming across each other is lean? Better use the money for more rewarding expenditure.

why would you do this
April 11th, 2010 at 1:00 am
First you should mention how long you were together, The real reason why she ended the relationship etc Then your question. Insted of making sound like maybe you were the saint and she was the problem. try that first. Friend
