Is there anything in my relationship that concerns you?

Hey, so I think the issue is being a bit blown out of proportion by other places but I thought it's always good to get some input.<br><br>My partner and I have been together for 3 years. We're planning to get married next year but first we wanted to move in together which we did this year. I have a really good job and because of that it's my job that's anchored our location so we both moved to where I was so my partner could keep their job.<br><br>So we moved in to this new house and I was all excited to show it to my partner but when my partner got home they were livid and had basically a complete mental breakdown saying that this is basically a shrine to my ex. Apparently we have a lot of the same decorations and wall art and some of the colour choices I chose for the house are what my ex had in their bedroom.<br><br>I was lost as to what was going on but then I remembered that my ex used to have this one painting on their wall. A vase of flowers with stalks of grain or something. It was from ikea, you've probably seen it before. Anyways, when my ex and I broke up and I moved away my sister had a wall painted in a similar colour and she got the painting to put on the wall but really it never made it out of the box. So I took it out of the box and actually put it up in our new house just because I thought my partner would like it.<br><br>I've obviously been lectured that maybe I should have asked my partner about these things before doing it. I would have expected my partner to understand my perspective but I guess that didn't happen.<br><br>So my question is if there is anything in this relationship that you are concerned about, specifically on my partners side? I have read some of the comments on other places and I can't help but feel that there is something deeper.<br><br>TL;DR: Partner had a melt down when they saw painting I put up in our house which is identical to one my ex had.
