Apologies in advance, my English isn’t great.
Context: My boyfriend and I have been dating for 1.5~ years and we happened to be quarantined together at his parents house.
Two weeks ago, I was going through the books in his room and found a huge book while he was grocery shopping. It was a book with poems and love letters so I thought it was one of those less discovered published books. Then in the last couple chapters, it was photos of him and a girl.
I was alarmed at first that he would keep such things from an ex so I googled/instagrammed her. She’s beautiful and well accomplished. Then I stumbled upon her obituary, I’ve gathered that they dated in college until she passed.
I also realised he keeps a friendly note from her. I found it in his wallet early on but he told me it was from a best friend so I didn’t think too much about it. It always stuck out to me though since I’ve never met that “best friend” when I met all his friends.
My boyfriend has never shared anything about his past relationships except that he took 3 years off from dating.
I haven’t told my boyfriend yet but I’m not sure how to approach this situation because she’s special to him and I don’t want to open any wounds. I’ve thought about just keeping it to myself but it’s eating me away.
Are there any gentle ways to voice my discomfort that he didn’t tell me truthfully and apologise for reading something so personal without it coming off as insensitive?
Tl;dr: boyfriend has a v sentimental gift from his late gf. I feel bad when I’m in the same room with it.
