The night that Mike gave me that ring we were having company for dinner. He was late and when I called him to ask when he'd be home, he told me to cool my jets and he'd get there when he got there.
After another 1/2 of waiting with company and cold food, I called again, he hung up on me.
When he got home, he threw the box at me and said "here, bitchyass, are you satisfied now"... I guess I was supposed to know that he was out buying me a ring. He did this in front of our company and then proceeded to brag about how much he spent on it...in a tone that clearly said that I wasn't worth it.
Yup, want rid of it and any memories of 12 years of that kind of garbage...
