A woman always thought her boyfriend’s favourite mug was a present from his ex-girlfriend – so finally learning the truth was the greatest gift of all this past holiday season.

Emily, from Maine, shared a video detailing her debilitating thought process where she had convinced herself of the insidious origins of her boyfriend’s favourite mug, which turned out to be a gift from his stepdad.

‘My boyfriend always had this Anthropologie mug with his initial on it,’ she began. ‘And I knew an ex girlfriend absolutely bought him that.’

The couple moved in together a few months ago and Emily had to deal with seeing the mug all around their home.

‘The mug came with us when we moved to our new house, and I didn’t love it,’ she confessed.

Emily was convinced she did not want to confront her partner about the mug because she was worried about coming off as ‘crazy’.

‘I’m not crazy, so I’ll never say anything – I’m not gonna say: “I don’t want your ex girlfriend’s mug in my house”.’

But Emily did not have to live with the weight of her feelings for much longer.

‘I went down to his family’s house for Christmas this year, and his stepdad gave me a little box as a present.’

The ‘present’ turned out to be the same Anthropologie mug with an ‘E’, Emily’s initial.

‘It wasn’t from an ex girlfriend, it’s from his step dad,’ she said with relief.

She added, ‘That is so cute and suddenly I love this mug!’

While most of Emily’s followers were happy for her, some of the self-proclaimed ‘overthinkers’ pointed out other possible unsavoury scenarios.

‘This is how my brain works as well,’ one woman wrote. ‘Did his stepdad give his ex-girlfriend the same mug?’

‘Plot twist: he had a feeling you knew it was from an ex, so he had his stepdad gift you one so he could drink from his old lover’s gift cup undetected.’

Many admitted they would have ‘taken care’ of the mug had they been in a similar situation.

‘That mug would not have moved with us to the new house,’ one woman said. ‘It would have magically ended up in the donation pile.’

‘I would’ve “accidentally” dropped the mug ages ago.’

‘You could’ve broken the mug and put the shattered pieces in the dishwasher – and that way you have something else to blame for its demise.’
