Do I accept a gift or don't I?

My boyfriend and I have a long distance relationship. He offered to send his blood(as a necklace) to me, but his ex-boyfriend(who still loves him) asked for my bf’s blood when they dated. My bf says it doesn’t matter cause he doesn’t wear his ex’s blood(on a necklace). Accepting this bothers me cause I don’t feel special knowing that there is someone else in the world with a necklace of his blood. I love him and I don’t to make him feel bad either…he has been wanting to give me this necklace for a while now, but I have said no. Am I being egotistic by not accepting?

Answer #1

not really. i mean i’ve been there done that, just tell him why you won’t accpet it. you feel uncomfortable about someone else having it, tell him.

Answer #2

He was hurt the first time I told him, I’m sure he will be angry now

Answer #3

well honestly, here… if he gives it to you with a passion on love for you. and he ends up breaking up with you, and going back to his ex who still loves him, than who will be hurt? you… especially cause you took the necklace. which is a strong gift to someone, from someone they love.

Answer #4

passion of* love

Answer #5

Yes, last time he only gave his blood cause his ex asked for it. He loves me very much and he is doing this out of passion for me : ) but still I don’t know if I should care more about his feeling than my own. He hates his ex btw…he cheated on him and that is why they broke up.

Answer #6

Does his ex still wear the necklace? Because if somebody gave me a necklace of blood and we broke up, I wouldn’t wear it anymore because that would be weird. I think it’s a nice gesture, but if you have a problem with the ex thing then talk to your bf about it. Maybe you guys could do something different- Like he could hand make a necklace for you, he could go to a welding place or something and melt the shape out of metal. You guys could start your own tradition if you feel uncomfortable with the other one.

Answer #7

well the only thing you can do is talk to him about it.. be honest!
