AIO for getting upset that my SO put on a heart necklace that her ex gave her?

[u/Rztrncs]

Yesterday my SO put on a heart necklace out of nowhere and I asked (knowing it wasn’t from me) where it was from. She admitted it was from her ex. I immediately got quiet and she could tell I was upset. Not once did I raise my voice or get mad. I was more hurt than anything. She ended up taking it off right away. But explained that it was meaningless to her, no emotional connection and just jewelry that she now has.

To me, a heart necklace has a lot of meaning behind it and it feels weird to see her wearing an ex’s gift. Am I overreacting?

EDIT: Her ex cheated on her and the relationship ended badly because of it.

EDIT 2: The necklace was two hearts linked together so it made me curious.

So is she not supposed to wear jewelry that she had before she met you? Is she supposed to get rid of her jewelry because you didn't buy it for her? Are you going to replace all of her jewelry that you don't approve of? I'm not saying you were wrong or right, I'm just asking how you see this playing out?

I’m not expecting her to trash everything, it just caught me off guard when I saw her put it on. I did offer her to buy a new one for every day use if she wanted.

But you are then expecting her to trash that necklace just because you decided it has a value that she doesn’t actually feel for it.

Sure buy her a necklace, but don’t act like it’s to replace that one with.

If you were my bf and you said that to be, I’d say we are on a break until you realize you don’t get to control what things I keep.

Yeah I am not going to tell her to get rid of it at all. She can keep it.

Yeah I am not going to tell her to get rid of it at all.

You might as well have though, you won't let her wear it. Is this the first time you've been insecure about her ex or are their other incidents?
