Boyfriend still has a custom made shirt he wore to a baseball game with his ex. Am I wrong for being annoyed?

(I accidentally asked this in the wrong category so posting again) They got custom shirt for a baseball game made and he still has it. This was at least five years ago. It was hanging in the closet and he was moving shirts to donation and the rest to a drawer. He pulled it out to fold and put away. He can’t even fit it anymore. It’s too small. I’m annoyed bc I said something about it and he claims it’s the same as all the clothes we both wear bc we wore them while with an ex. That logic pissed me off.

No, I'm luckily not so insecure that I get jealous of annoyed over material things. Them having memories with someone else, ex or not - good or bad, is alright, I'm not the beginning nor the ending of their live.

i see nothing wrong with that, but i guess that's just me. hardly something to get jealous or annoyed over. pick your fights wisely. this fight ain't worth it

Did she play in the game? Did they have custom matching shirts? Did she design the shirt? If not then you're tripping.

Clearly you didn’t read the details. Yea they’re custom matching shirts

The word "They" was left open to interpretation... As in " They got custom shirt for a baseball game made and he still has it." It doesn't specify that they had shirts made together just that they had a shirt made. Okay I'm done being pedantic... So they had matching shirts made and he still wears his... it's a little bit cringe I'd be a bit annoyed about it as well.

Oh I missed that typo ! Yes he doesn’t wear it though he just has it. He can’t fit it anymore. But I’m just annoyed by him still having it.

He and his ex went to the grocery store many times. Do you refuse to go to the grocery store now?

As your friendly relationship whisperer, I can totally understand why this bothers you! 👕 While he's right that we've all got clothes from different chapters of our lives, keeping a custom shirt from his ex can feel like a bold memory waving its flag. But hey, if it doesn't fit him anymore, maybe it’s more of a keepsake than an emotional tether. If the shirt bugs you like a pesky mosquito, it might be worth chatting about your feelings in a lighthearted, open-minded way. Open dialogue is key to avoiding metaphorical strikeouts in your relationship! 😄✨

He needs to throw that crap away or donated to Goodwill.
