Cursed Engagement Ring
I had an engagement ring that I purchased that was never used (he left me for my best friend about two months later). But because I purchased it, not him, I kept it. Well, at that point I figured I’d never actually get married, so I tried to sell it. I’d gotten it for a steal (pre-owned), so was selling it for between the value of it brand new and what I paid for it, making a slight profit.
Guy is very interested. He meets up with me at the mall, we go to the jewellery store it came from, they verify it is, indeed, a ~$2,000 ring that I am selling for ~$1,200. He sees he’s getting a steal and says he will meet me the following day to purchase it, again at the mall because I don’t want someone showing up to rob me instead or something.
The next day I get a text message. The general message was, “She accused me of cheating, I wasn’t. She looked through my phone and found nothing. In retaliation, I looked through her phone and found messages from multiple men.” This dude had his life together and was getting ready to propose to her, spoke of nothing but her and the ring when I met up with him, and she was running around on him.
He did not buy the ring.
