A
friend I used to work with shared this story with me, and I wanted to
know what you all thought.
Nancy had been dating her boyfriend for a little over a year and knew he
was the one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. Her
boyfriend, Scott, had been serious with another girl that he was engaged
to, but that ended a few years before Nancy met him. As their
relationship was getting more serious, they had started talking about
marriage, kids, etc. She was very excited and went looking at engagement
rings a few times. She always said that she wanted to pick out the
engagement ring but that her boyfriend could pick out whatever diamond
he wanted to.
Time had passed and over the holidays he proposed! Her ring was
absolutely gorgeous! The diamond was a little over a carat and sparkled
like I’ve never seen a diamond sparkle before! It looked totally
flawless, and it was just beautiful! She was crazy about it and could
never take her eyes off of it! She couldn’t imagine how much he spent on
it, nor should she be concerned, but Scott wasn’t made of money. She
joked with Scott one time asking him if he used the diamond from his ex
finance’s old ring, and he said he wouldn’t do that. He told her he went
back to the store he got it from and upgraded it to a better diamond.
They got married and got settled in their house together. After a while
Nancy wanted to get rid of stuff they hadn’t used and clean out some of
the closets to make room for other things. One day while Nancy was
cleaning out one of the closets, she found an envelope with receipts in
it. She opened it up and noticed they were the receipts of the
engagement ring and wedding bands. She then found a receipt for the
diamond that had been purchased at the time Scott was engaged to his ex
fiancé. She looked through all the receipts and noticed that there
wasn’t anything indicating that there was a new diamond, just the
receipt from the one he previously bought. Her heart dropped, and she
was upset but didn’t know whether or not to say anything to her husband.
She talked to a lot of her friends and, of course, got different
opinions on what she should do.
