My significant other of 5 years and the father of my two children want me to get rid of jewelry from an ex, whom I haven’t dated for 13 years. I don’t wear the heart jewelry he got me, but I still wear the diamond studs. They don’t have sentimental value to me; I just like my diamond earrings. Am I wrong for wanting to keep my diamond earrings? Or is he being ridiculous?

He can replace them if he wants them gone

Upgrade them to some new ones, on his bill of course use them as a trade in and he can pay the difference. I personally see his point and I wouldn’t want them around either unless you and your ex had children and you where saving them to give to them.

If they have zero sentimental value to you and you just enjoy wearing diamonds, then just trade them for different ones. He doesn’t need to replace them, do it yourself.

He’s obviously feeling some kind of way about it whatever the reason. If the roles were reversed and your man was wearing a watch or jewelry from an ex you’d probably feel some kind of way about it too. Rather than focusing on the jewelry focus on the point. I’m a huge fan of the how would I feel game.
If you love diamond earrings tell him you’d love a pair next time you guys have some extra cash. Maybe even sell those to help fund a new pair, whatever. But I would want to be sure there aren’t double standards in my relationship.

Just let him know if he would like you to get rid of them you’re happy to do so, you would just like a replacement:) you could probably do a trade in for a credit and he, I’m sure, would be happy to cover the difference!

He can get you a new set or sit down and be quiet! My bf literally said that’s dumb for him wanting you to get rid of it.

Ridiculous. He is just being selfish, and controlling. If you dont mind getting rid of the heart jewelry, then concede to that. Keep your earrings, that you enjoy. It is your jewelry, and your call.

Why did you even say they were from an ex? In the grand scheme of things, does it really matter?

If there is nothing sentimental about why not get rid of it. The fact that it makes your husband feel a certain type of way, he probably thinks that you’re harboring feelings for your ex and that’s a problem

I would rather make my husband happy. They are just earrings that have 0 sentimental value to you. Either way it upsets your SO. If positions were switched you’d be going crazy for him not tossing something that he wants to keep from his ex. Respect this one wish because it’s going to cause more problems than solve. Get new ones to replace them. I think you’re very disrespectful to your current SO

He’s being insecure. But think if tables were turnt and he was still wearing jewelry his ex gave him…how would ya feel. It’s an individual preference really. I personally wouldn’t give a flying fuck. I have kept and wear on occasion items my ex’s have given me, but my bf never asked where the items came from either. Why’s he so worried about where the jewlery came from to begin with? I’ve NEVER had a man ask me where a piece came from ever.
Trade them in on something else! That’s what I did

I think if it makes him feel better you should do it. You said yourself, they’re of no sentimental value to you- so sell them and hint that you’d like some diamond studs from your current fella.
Tell him to buy you some earrings the same or stfu lol.

I’d trade them in for something else. Have him pick it out. An ex gave them to you. Its an ex for a reason. If roles were reversed would you feel the same as him? Treat him as you want to be.
Let him replace the ones you like. Then get rid of the old.
I wouldn’t wear jewelry from my ex.
If the stuff has no sentimental Value to you then why even question it. I’d sell it and use the money to buy a new pair of studs, a win win

I think he’s being ridiculous, but if it were my husband, I would indulge him and suggest selling them to a jewelry store and picking out new ones.
It’s just jewelry. If it were a wedding ring, totally get it but they’re just earrings.

I kept a necklace from an ex… my hubs never had a problem with it
Man I still have clothes from my ex and boots and shoes that I still wear. My husband doesn’t care. And if he did care then he can buy me more before I get rid of them.
How would you feel if he wore something a ex gave him? And kept something a ex gave him??

Keep the jewelry and evaluate the romantic relationship you have now.
Tell him to buy you some if he dont want you to wear them i still have some jewellery brought by a ex that i wear cause i like it even though cant stand the ex
Yeah If the tables were turned nah.
Yes replacement since it’s bugging him so much
I’d say fine il sell them but you are to replace them there and then
Please. I still have several pieces from past boyfriends. Told my husband that it means nothing, however he’s more than welcome to replace all of it

If he wants you to get rid of them, maybe ask him to buy you new ones to give you that sentimental value.
If they don’t have sentimental value to you, then it shouldn’t be hard to get rid of.

I think he is being ridiculous and so are you. Have him buy you new earrings and get rid of the jewelry. It’s not worth causing a riff between you two.
