Story 8:
My boyfriend proposed with a ring that looked eerily familiar. Like, down to the band shape.
When I asked about it, he said it was custom. Weeks later, I visited his mom. Saw an old photo of his ex wearing that exact ring.
Turns out he had reused it. Same proposal plan, same speech, same ring. He said, “I didn’t think it mattered. The meaning’s the same.”
I said no. Because the meaning was exactly the problem.
