My boyfriend kept the shirt his Ex gave him...

Guys ; is it normal to keep clothes your ex girlfriend gives you? It bothers me a bit to know it's from her and idk... Is it normal?

[GuruGuy]

Umm, yeah.. maybe it's a nice shirt and they like it... having absolutely nothing to do with their ex. You're getting a little too jealous over his ex that isn't even a factor for you anymore. He's your boyfriend now, not hers so you go ahead and enjoy him and let him enjoy his shirt that he probably really likes. People don't just go burning and trashing everything that ever had to do with their ex's just because they broke up.. that's just ridiculous.

It probably doesn't mean anything to him. It's just a shirt that he probably likes to wear and he probably doesn't even consider where it came from when he puts it on. It's not likely that it means as much as something really personal like a letter or picture, etc.

Buy him a better one. I still have earrings and stuff my ex gave me. Like Distant said, not about to throw out perfectly good stuff because of who gifted it to me. It's not a big deal, I'd try to let it go.

I keep clothes from my past relationships. It doesn't mean anything. However, I also wouldn't be so tactless to wear the thing in front of another guy that I was with or interested in.

I have totally done this, especially if it was a really nice designer shirt. If it costs more than $200, it's totally worth pissing your current Girlfriend off. You're being difficult about something that isn't a big deal. Pick your battles. But if you really push this, you run the risk of being fired.

I'm sure there are shirts in my closet that ex's have given me. I don't think anything of it. My ex's have also bought me video games over the years but I'm not about to smash them up because we aren't together, lol.

[alliebabe27]

Yeah I see where your coming from lol but he wore it to take me out...

[Distant]

I wouldn't think too much about it but, if it bothers you, ask him not to wear it while you two go out.

It was a gift from his ex what's the big deal, people keep gifts from the ex's all the time, it means nothing, it's completely normal, my brother still has tons of stuff from his ex's but he doesn't have any feelings for them any more.

She gave the shirt to him thereby making it his shirt. It's perfectly normal for a guy to keep his own shirt.

[Yellowsmurf]

If I go and look at my closet right now I will literally have no idea who gave me what. The chances of him thinking about his ex when he wears it are slim to none.

Don't focus on it. It's not a big deal. He prob doesn't think anything of it and either should you.

Is the shirt expensive ?
