That is truly deplorable what your H has done. An engagement ring given while fully married? That is about as low as you can sink.

I think our spouses are in a race to the bottom. That 'I didn't want to hurt you' bs is all too familiar and is beyond old got us both. It's such a complete cop out.

I hope you get some good quality sleep tonight, Miss Painter.
