Your new DH doesn't want to look at the 'knife block' you shared with your ex. It's like having your ex's dick on your kitchen counter. Drop it.

Jeez people, stop piling on the OP. I am interested in whether she actually got new knives and if they're as nice as the ones her mom gave away.

This is so weird.

You need to work on yourself. Being a decade-long grudge holder is sad. Buy some new knives. You didn’t lose everything in a hurricane or flood or fire. Count your blessings
