What an azzhat!

I just found out tonight that the diamonds in my wedding band were fake. It was one of those small bands that has the diamonds going around the whole band, so they were really small, but still. I have to admit that I'm not surprised at all, but it still sucks. A family friend who works in jewelry was selling all of my rings for me (I had two engagement rings and two bands, long story) and because they were all such poor quality and/or fake, I only got $450. She didn't even want to tell me that the diamonds were fake because she didn't want to upset me. That's not with a pawn shop either, but a local and very reputable jeweler. Damn me for marrying such a douche.

I have a very small box with my $1000 wedding album in it and a couple other things from the wedding that I was planning on keeping for my nonexistent adult children. I'm seriously thinking about burning it all now.

  • That really sucks, Laner. While I don't have any issue with fake diamonds I do think it's pretty crappy for him to let you think they were real. I would wait on burning that box for a while. Maybe you should just put it somewhere out of the way until you're not quite as emotional about the whole divorce and him.

  • That sucks! I would trash the box. I'm assuming your non-existent adult children will have a dad that is not your ex-h. They probably won't care or want to see your wedding stuff from someone who wasn't their dad.

  • Sorry about the rings. I don't know that I would destroy the box, yet. Could your mom or someone close to you hold on to it for a few years? I would want to heal before getting rid of it all.

  • Wow...just wow. I'm sorry Laner. That is really shiitty. As for the stuff, I would probably trash it. I might keep a few family pics with out XH or ones of myself iliked and would want to show my kids in the future but the rest would be trash for me. I agree that you should think on it though.

  • Why would your kids care to see pictures of some guy you used to be married to? Don't trash it yet although I don't know that you'd ever really want to look over them in the future.
  • The box is sealed and in the top back of my closet out of sight as of right now. My mom has had an old paper bag full of pictures in the back of her closet for as long as I can remember. We just recently went through them and I loved it. It's one of those big binded fancy albums, or I would take a couple pics out. I'll leave it in my closet and forget about it again.

    I wouldn't have cared that they were fake either if he had told me. Honestly, I'm not all torn up about it, what's done is done, it just pisses me off. This ring was a surprise wedding gift that I didn't know about until he put it on my finger in the ceremony. It just solidifies that the whole thing was a sham.
