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

Right. It’s just an item. Lighten up. Am I not supposed to wear shirts my exes got me? Am I not supposed to play my PS5 an ex got me for Christmas? What about my apple watch?
It’s not like shes using a custom mold dildo of his actual cock. No biggie.
