My boyfriend had this ring an ex gave him a couple years ago as a gift.

Everyone made fun of him for having it because honestly, it was the biggest, ugliest wolf ring ever. The only reason he kept it was because he loves wolves.

He was very close with his ex until recently, when she moved away and they lost contact. Whenever they were together they would hug and be all friendly, and I got insecure and jealous that maybe they still wanted to be with each other deep down.

My boyfriend and I ended up talking about it. I told him how I feel about the ring (and this was after she had already moved away and stopped talking). I said that when I see him wearing the ring, it’s like he doesn’t want to let go of his ex. Like he wants to keep a part of her with him. Like he needs that small memory to hold on to.

He understood and on his own, decided he would give away his ring to one of his (M) friends. I’m return, this friend gave him a ring back. Like a trade.

However, as soon as he told me that he gave away the ring, I felt guilty. I felt like maybe I shouldn’t have been jealous and insecure. I felt like I was being a controlling and possessive girlfriend.

In your opinion, was I wrong to speak up about the ring? Or should I have let him keep it. Please say anything you want and vote :)
