I returned mine after calling off the engagement.
It was a matchmaking effort by our mutual friend as he told them he was willing to settle down and I was her best candidate for him. He was desperate due to pressure from family and friends. He was a broke ass but I was willing to give it a shot as success isn't achieved in a day.
While I was still getting to know him as we didn't get to see frequently, he popped the question in the presence of his colleagues..I was so shocked cos i didn't really know him.He didn't wait for an answer, just slid the ring onto my finger.
I got to realise he was a serial cheat, I mean...serial cheat. He told lies with ease, even when caught. Each time I threatened to leave, he cried like a baby. The cheating was so bad that he hit on my friend, not recognizing her cos it was a bit late.
At some point, knowing what I want out of marriage, I called of the engagement, put the ring back in its case and gave it back to him. As usual, he cried like a baby but my mind was made up.
