Asking for a friend...
Man gets engaged to woman 50 years ago.
Woman decides she does not want to marry him and gives the ring back.
Man meets new woman a couple months later and gets engaged to her after one month of dating new woman. Marries her and has children.
Wife never knew about the “repurposed” ring until 4 years into their marriage. Man finally bought her, her own ring 31 years later.
Here we are 46 years later and wife is so upset and reliving all of her past and the time she wore a ring meant for another woman.
The other woman wore her ring and showed it off for 1 year before she broke off the engagement. She feels humiliated. And is feeling a huge amount of insecurities at this moment in time.
My opinion is one thing and I don’t know how to comfort or advice her.
