hostages come in handy
think about it this way
why do bank robbers / terrorists take hostages in real life ?
LEVERAGE it gives you power in a situation over your opponent
scenario : i break up with girlfriend
girlfriend threatens me with stalking or violence from her brother
i remind her that i have her favourite necklace that she left in my car and if she ever wants to see it again SHE HAD BETTER LEARN TO LIVE WITH ME BREAKING UP WITH HER
now to answer you question :
If the relationship is over, and she was the one that broke it off?
ok the chick broke it off well i don't need to take a hostage
Why would a man hold on to something belonging to his ex
so she has to remain in contact with his to secure the realease of said hostage
even after she has asked for it back
the hostage will not be released until his demands are met. find out what they are.
He promises he will return it, but never does
sounds like he is a crazy AFC God love him and all he wants is some attention from her which he is getting
And what if it is something he knows is important to the ex
first rule of hostage taking. make sure it's something they care about.
What's that about?
the dude is getting her to hold the door open for him to manipulate his way back into her life.
SHE needs to LET GO of this worldly possession ( can she take it with her when she dies ? )
or CALL THE COPS
i am a bit old school so i would take a different approach i would " problem solve " the situation --- talk with baseball bat.
YOU mango need to watch out because said hostage may not be as valuable as you think it is. SHE may just be using this as an EXCUSE to stay in contact with her ex. i have seen this ALOT.
you need to come to a place where under pressure you can say " f*ck the hostages "
