Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Background: Boyfriend and I (25M,F) have been together for a decade +. Being kids at the time and complete idiots, we broke up about 3 years into the relationship. I was single for a few months and happened to grow close with a male friend of mine during this time. We got along absolutely great and, pretty soon ended up being more than friends. 

It fizzled out because neither of us stepped up (again, complete idiots). Boyfriend and I started dating again, and developed a much healthier, adult relationship. I'm more than happy with how everything turned out, and the relationship couldn't be better. 

Cue current situation. The other dude and I got back in touch recently (boyfriend knew). We met once since then, and he'd gotten me something he'd picked up because it reminded him of me. Obviously it was sentimental but it was also from something I'm really into and care about. Boyfriend, however, flipped his shit over my displaying it in my room. According to him, it's extremely disrespectful to him. Mind you it's pretty large, you can't not notice it if you're in my room.

I honestly just thought the thing was really cool and it was something I'm really excited about owning. I had absolutely no intention of making him uncomfortable. He, however, says I was rubbing it in his face and there's no way he can be in my room with it right there. 

Am I the asshole in this situation?
