It's shocking when you see the real side of someone you shared a love with once. My children were adults when my ex finally left for good. They hurt but they weren't deprived. I had all the money in that marriage anyway. He gave me back his ring in a little baggie. I, not knowing he had a girlfriend, and thinking he was just upset with me about something, returned the ring to his mailbox with a note saying I'd hoped he'd wear it again someday but it was his to dispose of if he wanted to. It was too cheap and worn to get much for hocking it. Then I saw it on his girlfriend's finger as her "engagement" ring.😂
Good thing I gave it back!
