A woman and her boyfriend decided to van-life their way across America together, which seemed like a great idea since they both work remotely and have a lot of flexibility.

She was looking forward to getting to see different sights, but everything came crashing down about one month into their trip.

A week ago, her boyfriend lost it on her for sipping her coffee and he kicked her out of the van with nowhere to go.

“I thought he meant like we would pack up and figure out how to get me home,” she explained. “No, he meant I needed to get out with all my s*** in the middle of a state park in New Mexico and figure it out.”

“I was scared and pissed so I hurriedly packed everything and got out. A very nice older couple had heard the screaming and saw me with a pile of my stuff and asked if I needed help.”

She did accept help from this kind couple, who then offered to give her a ride to Albuquerque since they had a big RV.

The couple insisted they would help her decide what her next steps should be and they weren’t going to leave her stranded in that park all alone.

“Well, it turns out they are the sweetest people ever and We eventually came to the conclusion it would be easier for me to travel with them home to Kansas,” she said.

“Now they’ve allowed me to stay paying them insanely fair rent, food, etc…I just have to edit the wife’s book and help the husband with his guitar playing.”

She realized while traveling with the couple in their RV that she accidentally packed her ex-boyfriend’s dad’s watch along with her stuff.

She reached out to her ex to let him know that she had the watch and she did apologize to him because it was an honest mistake.

She didn’t want to keep the watch, and she asked her ex what the best way to return the watch would be.

Well, her ex demanded that she get to Utah, where he currently is, and hand-deliver the watch to him.

“I said that was ridiculous, I could send it to him,” she continued. “He said that it was too valuable to trust to mail or FedEx and needed to be hand relieved.”

“I said I was in Kansas and not coming to Utah, but I would return the watch to his brother when I go home in March.”

“He said no the “only” solution was for me to drive it to him. I said I didn’t even have a car.”

Her boyfriend then said something very nasty to her, so she blocked him completely. Although she has no intention of speaking to her ex, she does intend to make sure the watch gets back to him safely.

She knows the watch is very expensive and also sentimental, so she’s going to make sure it’s returned, though on her own terms.

She’s left wondering if she’s somehow obligated to return the watch to her ex in the way that he demanded, or if she can get it back to him the way she wants to.
