If they were given as gifts, then "petty" comes to my mind, or "ill-mannered" (if you count hyphenations as a single word). You don't give gifts with strings attached; if they have strings attached then they aren't gifts. He would come off much better by setting a "take-it-or-leave-it" price for whatever assets he controls instead of including stuff like this and trying to justify he's only trying to do the right and fair thing. Or auction it off if he wants to maximize and potentially profit from what he's put out. Don't unconditionally give your girlfriend a sweater then demand to get it back if you break up, or if you do, don't try to pretend you're not being tacky when you ask for it.
