weird feeling

Hi Amy, Oh it get's worse than that. I got an engagement ring from my ex Narc which was flat and thin. When he presented it to me, I said, what is this? He said it was a diamond. I said, oh really? Then why can't I see it? He said, well I didn't say it was big, it was just the best I could afford. His sneakers cost more than this ring. I asked him to bust his chops if he had it engraved. The bastard said, with a straight face, no I couldn't, it is too thin. I said, really? I said, Is this some kind of a joke? He said, no I love you bebe. I said, oh really? I asked him, where he got the ring and was told at a kiosk in the mall. I told him I did not want it. I asked him if it could be returned and he said no. I said why is that? He had no response. Later on in the week I went to the kiosk in the mall to see if they carried the ring, I had a difficult time buying his entire story. Now, mind you, he told everyone in my household that he had an expensive ring on layaway and this was where all the money was going and that he was going to have the ring engraved with a special sentiment to me. I showed the owner the ring and she said yes this is one of our rings. I said it this a diamond? She said yes, it is comprised of many little diamonds and I said oh really, little diamonds which you cannot see? I said may I return it and she said no, I asked why, and was told that it was purchased on clearance. I asked her what the purchase price was and get this: 70.00. I walked away from the kiosk in utter shock and was pissed. I turned around and walked back and said, may I ask you a question? She said sure. I said, you actually sold this ring to a man as an engagement ring with a straight face and she said oh well no, I had no idea he was purchasing it as an engagement ring. We all made jokes regarding the ring and some called it: Diamond flakes Diamond dust Diamond scratches Diamond specks Diamonique A piece of crap A joke A ring you would buy a 10 year old ect..... Basically, it was a step up from a cracker jacks ring. He was a cracker jack alright. Later he was arrested for A&B on me and when I was listing all the things he did that were cruel and hurtful along with the several A&B's I happened to mention the ring and his response was, get this: You are putting me in jail because we did not get married? I replied no you dumb f..., you are going to jail because you hit me several times and stole my money, which is where he currently resides in the HOC with plenty of time on his hands to ponder ALL of his actions. God Bless, Goldie
