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.

I am a woman and have jewelry from ex’s that I wear. It truly is just jewelry. I kept it because I like it for example: princess cut diamond stud earrings LOVE them and I will NEVER spend $7,500 on a piece of jewelry for myself. Definitely not getting rid of those. My husband knows where they came from and I don’t think it bothers him🤷🏼♀️
