She’s Not Sure She Wants To Keep Dating Her Boyfriend After He Burned Her Sentimental Locket

Two years ago, this young woman began dating her boyfriend, and she says that things between them are pretty great.
However, there is one thing that has been creating stress between them, and that’s her past relationship.
Prior to her boyfriend, she dated her ex for five years, and they split up amicably. After the breakup, she and her ex have not spoken to one another.
“During our relationship, my mom fought hard but lost to breast cancer, and it was a difficult time for me,” she explained.
“My ex had made me a locket with a picture of my mom and me inside. This was an incredible gift I cherished, and I wear it every day.”
“When I started dating my current boyfriend, I was upfront about my past. I never told him about the necklace thought it wouldn’t matter. Later on, he found out because I went to take a shower and took the necklace off, and he saw it because it said from my ex to me.”
Her boyfriend asked her about the locket, and she reminded him that it was not a symbol of her past or her ex at all; it was a beautiful memory of her mom.
Her boyfriend accepted that explanation in the beginning, but as time wore on, he would make nasty remarks about the locket.
He started to ask her about why she still had the locket in her possession and if it meant she still harbored romantic feelings for her ex.

She reassured her boyfriend on several occasions that the locket was only a way for her to remember her mom’s life.
Several weeks ago, her locket went missing, and although she looked everywhere, she couldn’t find it.
Her boyfriend swore he hadn’t seen it, but she didn’t buy his story. That being said, there was no indication that he had done anything to her locket, so she tried to move on.
But one day, her boyfriend left his phone open, and she decided to take a peek. She discovered that her boyfriend had been bragging to his friends about stealing her locket.
She was furious that he lied to her, and when he returned, she told him that she knew the truth.
“I kept pushing until he admitted that he had taken it and burned it because he couldn’t stand the thought of me keeping something from my ex,” she said.
“I was devastated. I couldn’t believe he had thrown away something so special to me. We got into a bad argument since then; I’ve been staying with my sister and her family now, avoiding him.”
“I can barely look at him, let alone have a conversation. He’s sent me dozens of texts apologizing and saying he did it out of love and insecurity. It feels like such a huge betrayal of trust. I love him but I don’t think I love him enough to forgive him after what he did.”
Do you think she should break up with her boyfriend for burning her locket?
