Her Ex Gave Her A “Priceless” Piece Of Art, But She Threw It In The Garbage Even Though He Wanted It Back
A woman was in a relationship with a guy for a number of years, and right after she met him he insisted that he was single and not seeing anyone else.
She spent every Friday and Saturday with him, and their relationship progressed. Then, she met his friends and she even introduced her friends to him.
Next, they introduced their children to one another. As things went on, her boyfriend got her a “priceless” piece of art; a photograph by a famous photographer that she loved.
She was pretty convinced over the years that she was the only woman in her boyfriend’s life.
“Of course, he’d tell me we were soul mates and he loved me but that his divorce process was lingering,” she explained.
“He stated he was seeing no one other than me as this was a criteria for me. During this time I noticed some women commenting on his Facebook and looked further into it to find they had him listed as their “boyfriend.”
As soon as she found out that she was only one woman in a string of others, she decided the best thing to do would be ghost her boyfriend.
Before she went through with that, she spoke to the 3 other women, and she was shocked to learn that they all looked like they could be her twin.
She found that incredibly “creepy” but they all confirmed that they thought they were in a monogamous relationship with her boyfriend.

She never got into the details with these other women, but she thought that maybe they should address the fact that he was not telling any of them the truth.
She later learned that her now-ex had gone through with blocking her after one of the other women did confront him.
She was fine knowing that her ex blocked her since she had no interest in being in his life after learning his big secret.
She was crushed, yet she moved on. This all happened 3 years ago, and she’s about to get married to a man she truly loves.
Imagine her surprise when she did recently hear from her ex. He sent her a text wondering if she would be able to give him back the photograph he purchased for her all those years ago.
In the years since he bought that piece of art for her, she figured out that the photographer was someone he had a side relationship with while he was seeing her.
She thought about her ex’s request and went digging through her basement to actually find the photograph.
Her ex mentioned that he would be happy for her to put the photograph on the porch of her home and he could have one of his friends stop by to grab it.
“It had a decent value to it for an artist quality photograph,” she said. “I considered selling it to a gallery but instead threw it out in a dumpster.”
“My friend, who is an artist said this was awful, but I couldn’t bring myself to text him back, or even give him that photo back.”
“Is my friend right? Should I have adulted and just texted back an exchange?”
Do you think she should have let her ex have the photograph, or was it ok for her to throw it right in the trash?
