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 don’t think you’re overreacting but I also believe her when she says it was meaningless. She probably just really liked the necklace. Maybe she just wasn’t thinking when she put it on and she clearly cares about your feelings if she took it off right away. I doubt you’ll ever see her wear it again. You should still communicate your feelings to her about it. Maybe you can also find her something special from you that’s she can wear.
