He Still Has Paintings His Ex-Girlfriend Made Hanging In His Apartment And He’s Telling The Internet His Current Girlfriend Is Upset About It
A 29-year-old man has been with his current girlfriend, 29-year-old Willow for a little less than 2 years now.
Before Willow, he used to be in a relationship with a woman named Fiona, and she was incredibly talented when it came to painting.
Fiona’s specialty was animal portraits, and so she happened to paint a few portraits of his animals; his 2 cats and his dog.
“My dog has since passed away (he died of cancer 3 years ago) and my 2 cats are now elderly (both 16) and probably won’t live much longer,” he explained.
“As you can imagine I deeply cherish these paintings.”
He and Fiona haven’t been together for a while now, but he does have the portraits she made hanging in his apartment in frames.
The paintings are incredibly special to him because of the way they captured his pets; not because of the fact that Fiona made them.
Now, Willow knows that those portraits were painted by his ex-girlfriend, and she is not happy that they’re still hanging up in his apartment, despite the fact that he isn’t keeping them because Fiona is the artist.
Willow has just taken up digital art, and she has created some work for him of his animals, in an attempt to get him to take down the portraits that Fiona made.

Willow is actively trying to get her work to be in the place of Fiona’s, and since he hasn’t hung up what Willow made instead, Willow is pretty upset.
“Well we had another argument about it last night and Willow wants to try to do a painting of my deceased dog and two cats to replace my ex’s portraits,” he continued.
“She even said she would try to copy Fiona’s paintings exactly, so I wouldn’t need the original anymore and I could throw them out.”
He made it clear to Willow that nothing will change his mind and he will not take the portraits off his walls, since they are so special to him.
Willow retorted that he likes Fiona’s art more than the art she makes, even though that’s not the reason why he keeps the portraits up.
This really has become a constant problem in his relationship with Willow, and he’s starting to think that maybe he’s in the wrong.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“Keep the paintings, get rid of Willow.”
“How incredibly childish of Willow to attempt to turn this into a contest. My ex was an artist, and my husband has no problem with the paintings. He likes them, and even hired my ex to do a portrait of his parents.”
“Take the paintings down (temporarily) and store them with somebody you trust, then break up with Willow.”
“I’m afraid one of two things might happen: 1.) An ‘accident’ that might damage them, or 2.) She might go the route of a ‘You wouldn’t get rid of them so I did kind of thing.”
“But no worries, either way, you can just replace them with what she created, right?”
“Willow is very insecure if she is asking you to get rid of art that has sentimental value especially if she wants to design for you an exact replicate.”
“Your love for your pets and how you choose to honor them is entirely up to you. This might be a dealbreaker for her though if she can’t get over her insecurity.”
“My son’s (23) ex-GF when he was a senior in high school took “senior” pictures for him to give me for mothers day. They picked about a dozen poses. Framed several of them. I put them all into my digital frame.”
“He’s currently dating another girl whose job is a freelance photographer. I was worried how the new gf would respond about pics from the ex. My opinion of her became much higher because of the grace and maturity she showed over them.”
“When she saw the pics she was very complimentary of them, even complementing the ex’s skill. New GF adds pictures to my digital frame now.”
“I don’t even remember the ex’s name. But the pictures are precious to me, so I’m glad that they didn’t become a problem.”
“I’ll never understand how people can freak out so much just because their partners still have stuff from their past with others.”
“She’s clearly insecure about herself or/and your relationship with her, maybe you/she need to work on that. You should definitely not have to get rid of something valuable to you just for her sake.”
