Life S.O. wearing ex's jewelry? - Page 4

Maybe it's not sentimental to her at all and it's just a nice necklace. A lot of times stuff is just stuff man.

Consider this... if your previous girl bought you a 360 or PS3 wouldn't you be using it? And if so wouldn't you be pissed if your present girl had a problem with you using it?

Great post. Unless she's crying herself to sleep holding the locket and moaning "Billy, I miss you sooooo" don't worry about it. Otherwise you just come off as insecure and jealous.

Touche, interesting point.

It's a very common problem actually, Mr. kcchiefsfanGoJC. The beautiful and witty Mrs. FAX and I experienced the same issue - only in reverse. I was given several items by ex-girlfriends that caused her discomfort as she felt they represented a lingering attachment to my past relationships. She explained to me that wearing gifted jewelry from past loves reflects a lack of decorum and propriety.

The beautiful and witty Mrs. FAX taught me the appropriate way to handle it, though. The proper thing to do is for her to sell the stuff and give you the money.

This.
And if she didn’t, she’s probably not that into you.

hell no ... if they are stupid enough to actually tell you it came from an old flame then they can pay the penalty and have to keep it in a box or something.

Antifreeze will take care of the situation.

My ex started wearing our engagement ring after we got divorced. I didn't really care that much at the time, although I thought it would have been more fashionable for her to wear it up her ass than on her finger.

**DeezNutz** · 03-02-2010, 10:48 PM

Sorry, she's still seeing him on the side.

The necklace is a sure tell.

My wife wears an ankle bracelet her ex gave her. I assume it's 'cause she likes ankle bracelets. If it bugged me, I'd buy her one--maybe even the exact one--and say, "Here, wear this one," LOL.

Really, though. It probably doesn't mean anything. And, frankly, if it does... so what?

Why do people assume that, once a relationship ends, you have to chuck out all the good feelings you had during that relationship? If it was a loving, deep, and meaningful relationship, and meant something to her, and didn't end crappily, let her keep her little memento. Is there a rule that says, "While in a relationship, you must love the person, but as soon as it ends you must exorcise them from your memory"? That's kinda shitty. I mean, look, she married YOU, and isn't f**king HIM any more, so what more do you want? Why do people act like being in a relationship must be a mutually-exclusive deal, where every ounce of warmth and affection--past, present, and future--must be directed at the other person?

A piece of jewelry is no different from a photograph, a music album, or some other trinket. It's just a reminder of a happy time. It doesn't mean it's a reminder of a happIER time or a BETTER time.

I have a few rings I no longer wear, and six pieces of jewelry I currently wear. Most was purchased by me, a few weren't. But the only thing I wear that my wife gave me is my wedding ring. Which I think is probably the most important piece. (Although I bought that f**ker too, LOL...)

You should buy her a pendant with a scripted "1985" because, I'll bet she'd like that too.
