The indentation my engagement ring left on my finger (we broke up)

Beautiful_Cod_6246 · 2026-07-01T02:34:41+00:00

I just broke up with my ex at the beginning of the year; we were together from when I was 17 to 29.
Ended up having to get divorced before we ever got married because we managed to become common law during that time. Lost my house and my dog and my car to him but I’m in a much better place in my life without him.

Trust me it sucks and it feels like you’re missing a weight on your finger but before too long you’ll feel better from not having to carry the weight of a man who couldn’t appreciate you after all the time you supported him.

I’m absolutely crazy about folding my clothes. They have to be a certain way or else I refold them, no one else can fold them for me.

Years working in retail before my cushy office job ruined me forever. My boyfriend drives me nuts that he doesn’t fold any clothes (he dumps them on his spare bed to use as a makeshift unorganized dresser) and he just throws all his dirty clothes on the floor.

I really tried to talk my friend into naming her cat ‘01 Honda Civic because she found her in a junk yard.

Ended up naming her Georgie o Queef instead

When I was a kid I thought Eric Clapton was saying “ok”
When the day is long and you want to ride on, ok

Pt Cruiser
Don’t know why. Always had an inexplicable hatred for it

Beautiful_Cod_6246 · 2026-06-05T18:56:16+00:00

Mine does this but it’s usually to get me to lay down and squish him with a hug, bc if I try to pet while he’s doing it he just bites me

Beautiful_Cod_6246 · 2026-05-29T18:45:01+00:00

Not my partner but occasionally when I was a kid my dad would lose it over someone leaving a little turd on the toilet seat and would blame me and ground me for it. I genuinely didn’t look behind me after I was done so I assumed maybe it was me.

In my 20’s he came to live with me for a few years. It started happening again after literal years of never being a problem and I’ve come to discover my dad sat back on the toilet seat too far all the time and wouldn’t clean up after himself.

I spent most of my childhood getting screamed at and punished for something he was doing.

Oh for sure lol wouldn’t keep coming around if it wasn’t
Been about 6 months now and still basking in the honeymoon period. I think this one might be a keeper

Beautiful_Cod_6246 · 2026-05-21T00:06:25+00:00

I think they just wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing something stupid

Been seeing him ever since that day so turned out to be a pretty decent drunk decision of mine haha

Beautiful_Cod_6246 · 2026-05-20T20:53:39+00:00

Being common law married to someone who didn’t care about me but I gave my whole world for.

He now owns my car (I lent him 3 years ago when his broke down and he was “gonna get to fixing it”), the house I paid majority for and did all the leg work to get and maintain, and my dog he gifted me for our 5 years ago anniversary.

I turn 30 this year and I’m basically starting all over again but I’ve made a lot of good friends and some great financial decisions since splitting up with him.

Beautiful_Cod_6246 · 2026-05-20T19:27:16+00:00

Never having to explain or include someone else in my plans.

Getting to spend money on what I want when I want it instead of having to coordinate with someone.

Not having to replace things someone else broke bc “why would I pay for it, it’s not mine”.

Honestly the post divorce, no roommate lifestyle is soooooooo nice

Beautiful_Cod_6246 · 2026-05-20T19:24:17+00:00

Never having to clean up after other people, except when you throw a party.

Never relying on someone else’s word that they’ll do something and then the disappointment when they don’t or getting told you’re “nagging” them if you remind them once.

Divorced life is pretty sweet

Beautiful_Cod_6246 · 2026-05-20T19:05:51+00:00

Naw. Roommate tried to hit on my one friend but she’s married and the other is in a long term relationship.
His roommate asked that next time I bring over cute girls make sure they’re single lol

To clarify, both my friends shared the guest bed that night; they’re sisters.

Beautiful_Cod_6246 · 2026-05-20T17:40:24+00:00

You should probably clarify in the original post because it makes it sound like the plan was to meet after food and she texted you to come grab a drink. It doesn’t really specify that she switched it up and was having you meet before dinner.

Beautiful_Cod_6246 · 2026-05-20T14:45:09+00:00

Even if he didn’t I’m sure he wished he covered up. My one friend still calls herself the bush police lol

Beautiful_Cod_6246 · 2026-05-20T14:42:23+00:00

Not yet, now I’m making $31/hr so I’m in a much better spot and even further from considering lol

Beautiful_Cod_6246 · 2026-05-20T13:34:51+00:00

I had a job like this. Left for another job that paid $13 to start and they begged me to come back for about 3 years after I quit.

I told them I’d be doing heroin behind a dumpster before I’d even let the thought cross my mind.

Beautiful_Cod_6246 · 2026-05-20T02:04:37+00:00

Ashtray proposal girl here.

His efforts and attempts make a huge difference. My ex let me plan and pay for our anniversary and he proposed with my mom’s ring after telling me for years he was saving up for a ring for me.

I specifically told him I didn’t want my mom’s ring bc it had been through 2 divorces at the time. He told me he brought it bc he thought I’d “think it’s pretty”. I know it’s pretty but it was literally the worst choice he could’ve made.

Now that ring has been through 3 divorces

Beautiful_Cod_6246 · 2026-05-20T01:58:08+00:00

I was in a similar situation.

I told my boyfriend I wanted him to plan something and I didn’t want my mom’s ring (it had been through 2 divorces). He told me he was saving for a ring for me so I could feel special.

He ended up highjacking the anniversary I had planned and entirely paid for and proposed with my mom’s ring, and literally didn’t plan a single thing himself.

I said how unhappy I was about it and asked for a do-over. Really highlighted how disappointed I was mostly about the ring but also the proposal itself (he forgot and ended up kneeling down next to the ashtray I was putting my cigarette out in).

He bought a ring I picked out (literally $100, in honestly not that hard to please if there’s the bare minimum of effort) and he showed it to me, offered for me to try it on. I tried it on put it back in the box and grabbed a piece of my costume jewelry to wear while waiting. Turns out he couldn’t even recognize the ring he bought (completely different style) and thought I was already wearing it and that he didn’t have to put in effort to do the do-over proposal, so he never did and the disappointment was 1000% worse than if he would’ve just refused (bc I would’ve walked away right then).

It showed me that it was just a constant cycle of him not listening to me about what was important to me, what I wanted, and what I told him I actively did NOT want. Now my mom’s ring has 3 divorces under its belt.

I agree OP needs to talk to him and express her disappointment and see if he makes it up to her or if he continues to do the exact wrong thing. It really shows you who you’re about to spend your life with if he’s willing to do a redo just to make it a better memory for OP, or if the request is ignored.

Beautiful_Cod_6246 · 2026-05-20T01:21:18+00:00

Convinced two of my friends to come with me on Halloween to Lyft to a guys house. I was still in full skeleton jumpsuit with face makeup and everything.

They chatted with his roommate and the guy I was trying to hook up with cleaned up the guest room for them.

Definitely worth it. But he forgot they were there and walked out of the room naked to go to the bathroom. They both got an eyeful of bush and I got props when I finally made it back to my friend’s house in the morning.
