Today, I realised that every morning my girlfriend gets me to help her put on a locket her ex-boyfriend bought her on Valentine's Day. FML

So what? If its a fancy locket why wouldn't she wear it? That doesn't mean anything - get over yourself!

So why don't YOU buy her something she can put on every morning? Nothing's stopping you.

She probably just likes the locket and thinks it looks good. I doubt it means anything. if you are so worried about it, OP, talk to her about it and maybe take her out so she can choose a new necklace for you to buy her.

ydi if you hate it so much how bout BUY her one

NOT GOOD AT ALL. If she was to wear it OCCASIONALLY because it's cute and she likes it's appearance, then thats fine. Clearly shes wearing it for looks but EVERYDAY(oh hell NO) DUMP THE BITCH, SHE OBVIOUSLY HAS HER ISSUES. Find someone else who will do the same for you with something you've bought her.

You obviously have your issues too. My comment, #53, points out that his is not a big deal, unless the boyfriend has some serious self esteem issues. My mom has been married to my dad for longer than I've been alive, and she had an ex husband 30-something years ago. She still wears the jewelry he gave her whenever she goes out. It's a matter of, "Does it look nice?", "Was it a gift?", "Does it match my outfit?", and sometimes, "How expensive was it?" He needs to get her something to wear as well, like, a new, more expensive locket, if he's going to sit in his middle school emo corner.

Ikr. People who like and keep gifts they got, damn, so insecure and full of issues. Why can't she be mature and deal with breakups like a normal person without issues - throw away all stuff from your ex, demand every gift back and hate your ex just because they're your ex.

Erm... So? For a long time after a break up with an ex girlfriend, I still wore her ring and necklace. I wore them because they were gifts, because they looked nice, and because I always wore them anyway. Stop being so over dramatic. Buy her a new one that looks better if you're going to be such a two year old about it

I still wear the gold necklace my ex bought me 10 years ago. It's pretty and I like it so who care wher it's from.

If there is a photo of you IN the locket- no beef. If there is a photo of HIM in it, you've got bigger things to worry about than this locket thing.

just get her something better =) problem solved. your welcome :D lol

well yu know if she be talking about him or if the picture inside of it is him yea there's a problem there

Quit being a toolbag and tell her to get rid of it. If she was a decent gf, she wouldn't be keeping it anyways.

What? Why would everyone instantly want to get rid of everything from all previous relationships? Not all of them end badly and not everyone wants to purge all memory of them. It also could be that she's just worn it consistantly for so long that she doesn't think twice about wearing it, she might not even associate it with her ex anymore, expecially if it's got a picture of the OP or her family inside it.

Instead of making your insecurities your partner's problem you should be a "decent partner" and find a therapist or some other form of help.
