“I noticed my then-fiancé wasn’t wearing her engagement ring, and thought she must have forgot to put it on. After all, it was slightly too big and she had said on a couple of occasions she was scared of losing it, as it came off her finger easily. However, after a while I noticed again and again that she wasn’t wearing it, so I asked her why. She said it was too big. I asked again a few days later, and she said she’d sent it to be resized. After six months, I noticed she still wasn’t wearing it.”
“She said she still hadn’t received it back. Then she said she hadn’t been to pick it up. This carried on for about three months — every so often I would ask her. I even asked if she had lost it, and to be honest about it, but she swore blind that was not the case, and I was not to worry.
One day, I said to her straight, ‘Look, where is your engagement ring? There’s something not right here. I bought it, I want to know where it is. What is going on?’
She then tried to say the same thing — that she had sent it to be resized and she hadn’t had chance to get it back. I told her I didn’t buy that, and I wanted the truth. Now.
She then admitted she had ‘mislaid it.’ I told her I’d KNOWN she was lying, and why the hell did she keep that from me for so long? It was her ENGAGEMENT RING for Christ’s sake — it wasn’t cheap, and was supposed to mean something.
She made light of it and even tried to make out that it was my fault for buying her a ring that was too big. She started to laugh and get flirty, and then said that I should buy her another one to replace it — one we both chose together.
I fucking lost it. I said that she had lost the ring, lied about it, continued to lie about it, then laughed about losing it and lying about it, and then had the brass neck to suggest I buy her a replacement, when SHE had lost it and lied about it. I told her she was dreaming.
She then got upset and tried to turn it on me, saying I was being cruel. I told her that if she wanted an engagement ring, she could buy one to replace the one she lost. Apparently I was the bastard for that.
The relationship ended when she had an affair, and I realized just what a lying narcissist I had been dealing with for several years. … I am convinced these days she sold it.”
