Wedding Gifts

Question: How come when people get a divorce they don't give the wedding gifts back?

Did they just get married for the free corningware? Most people get divorced within the first 3 years.

Because to the victor goes the spoils. The victor, of course, being whoever the judge awarded the property to at the divorce proceeding. Lol.

Too much time has passed...the gifts aren 't worth so much after ten years, I wouldn 't think.

My sister 's husband "borrowed " large sums of money from my mum only to use it on drugs and waste it away. Now they are divorcing he doesn 't think he owes us anything! What cheek!

I guess when the wife is stealing everything the man owns the gifts just kind of get lost in the shuffle,

A gift is a gift. That would be a pretty brutal day. Not only do you feel the failure of a marriage, but you also lose your kitchen aid mixer. Not to mention the awkwardness involved with shipping a crock-pot back to your aunt.

I would be kind of offended if someone came up to me, 2-15 years later, handed me a twice-used, old waffle iron and said "Yeah, I know I asked for you to buy me this on my obnoxious registry, but it didn 't work out. The magic is null. Try taking it back to Sears. "

Because nobody wants you to give back the bedsheets you registered for. Yuck.

No body gets married to get divorced and it just happens to some couples.Going along with your concept,what about the FREE feast enjoyed by the people,not including other things.Consider it as something like a Gamble,and may be you wouldn 't think of corning ware.

A roommate of mine actually told me she wanted to get married and then divorce, that he could keep the money they get and she wanted the gifts. I was like: "... " She 's kind of crazy, though.
