  • He is keeping them for sentimental value and he got those gifts before he met you so he shouldn't be expected o give them up. Instead of letting it bother you, why don't you instead at christmas, find him a gorgeous bracelet and have it etched for him? That way you'll feel much better knowing he wears it close to him and you'll begin to notice that the one in the wardrobe no longer matters.
  • Get over your petty jealousy. If anything hurts your relationship with your boyfriend it will be insecurity and jealousy not two inanimate objects in his wardrobe.
  • I still have a few things from my ex-wife. Over the years, I have gotten rid of many of them slowly. Its not that I want to remain tied to her, but I remain tied to those years of my life. The fact that I have a new relationship doesn't mean the old ones didn't happen. - I think you need to relax and realize that he is with you, not her. - (As a side thought) Are they in the closet because he won't get rid of them or because he has never bothered to?
  • Keeping them and never wearing them would bother me more than if he DID wear them. I have a watch I still wear, bought for me by my ex husband. I don't wear it because he bought it for me...I wear it because its BEAUTIFUL! (I'd still wear my wedding ring if it didn't represent marriage. Not because I still love him, but because it's beautiful too.)
  • Why are you worried about what he has in his wardrobe, no matter WHO gave it to him? Is he with them or with you? The jealousy of second (or third or...) significant others because of what someone HAS from a FORMER s/o tends to push the current s/o away. The jacket is expensive. I'm willing to bet the bracelet is, too. Yes, he COULD sell them (bracelet would be more difficult, and he would NOT get what it's worth since it's engraved), but why? Because of your jealousy? Personally, I'm into family history. I have things, including pictures, from my childhood, old girlfriends, my ex-wife, etc. My wife KNOWS they are simply part of my past, and things I like. That doesn't have ANY connotation with the people who gave them to me, other than, at this point, minor memories that they gave them to me. So, do you really want him to get rid of all vestiges of what made him what you fell in love with, or would you rather have him have a couple of reminders of an ex, that may remind him of what he DIDN'T like about her, but DOES like in you? (Think of it that way.)
