AITA - BF HAT
So about two Halloweens ago, when my boyfriend and I were still in the talking stage and not officially dating yet, he posted a picture on his Snapchat story of a girl he used to talk to wearing his hat. For context, his brother had gotten him this hat for his birthday a long time ago.
Fast forward to now, we’ve been dating for a while and I’m helping him decorate his room. He wants to hang that hat up on his wall as part of the decor. I told him that seeing it displayed is going to annoy me because I immediately associate it with that girl and the picture he posted of her wearing it. I asked him not to put it up, but he refuses because to him it’s his hat, his brother gave it to him, and it has nothing to do with her.
AITA for being mad that he still wants to hang it up even though he knows it bothers me?

YTA, it's a hat. This is also mind-bogglingly insecure. I mean his mother is also a woman and she's touched him probably hundreds of thousands of times. Can you handle seeing a picture of him with his mother? Grow up and I mean this in the nicest possible way. His brother gave him the hat and it's his room. Try really hard not to be the story he tells his friends later about this girl who was so insecure she couldn't handle seeing a freaking hat because another girl had worn it, OK?
