When She Separated From Her Husband She Sold The Expensive Jewelry He Bought Her But She’s Confiding In The Internet They’re Back Together And He Got Mad After Finding Out
A woman who is married got separated from her husband for about 2 years. While they were together as husband and wife, he purchased a lot of very expensive pieces of jewelry for her.
While they were not together though, she ended up selling most of the jewelry he had bought for her so that she would have money to pay for her expenses while she was looking for a new job.
They’re currently back together, and she recently had to explain to him what happened to all of the jewelry.
Initially, she did not tell him about what she did because she did not exactly know how to tell him about it.
She figured it would be alright since he did not even seem to know the jewelry was no longer in her possession, but then, her husband’s cousin started planning her wedding and this is how her secret came out.
Her husband’s cousin asked if she would be a bridesmaid in the wedding, which she agreed to, and then her husband’s cousin arrived at her house to see how the bridesmaid’s dress looked on her.
“While she was over, she mentioned a necklace I used to have that would’ve looked perfect with the dress,” she said.
“I told her I didn’t think it would look nice because I don’t have it anymore and I didn’t know how to admit that to her.”
“Later when we were having dinner, she brought it up again in front of my husband. She asked his opinion and he agreed that the necklace would look good with the dress and suggested I try it on just to humor her.”

Well, she had to own up to the fact that she no longer had the necklace. Her husband chose not to ask what happened while his cousin was still at their house, but then he asked after his cousin went home.
She told her husband that she did sell the necklace for money, but he was very upset with her, especially since he never took away their joint bank account while they were separated.
In fact, he did continue putting money into their account for her to use, but she did not spend nay of it because she wanted to provide for herself and figure things out on her own since she thought their marriage was over.
Her husband then wondered if she had only sold that necklace, and she had to tell him that she had sold most of the jewelry he had bought for her.
“…He got really upset with me and asked if the things he gave me had so little meaning to me that I would flog them off for peanuts when I had other options,” she continued.
She had no idea how to even reply to that, so she didn’t, and her husband is still upset about her selling off the jewelry.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“I think that being separated for two years is a long time. Either way, they were gifts. Yours to do with as you wish.”
“You get to do what is right for you at the time, and he gets to be upset that your separation meant meaningful things from earlier in your relationship no longer exist.”
“It’s also possible that this is dredging up old stuff for him. I have a friend who was in the process of separating from his wife who was refusing to take any money from their joint account.”
“One night, she left the house having nowhere to go and again, refusing to take any money. He was worried out of his brains for her safety. Their marriage was on the rocks but he didn’t want her to be in danger.”
“If your husband worried about your safety during that time that you were gone without a trace or a job and no money, this may have brought that stress back.”
“…One thing I don’t see many people discussing here is that this is literally what jewelry is FOR.”
“You know why women historically liked expensive jewels? So when their husband dies/abandons them/etc., they had money in a form they could USE.”
“Because not even all that long ago, women couldn’t have a bank account without a male relative, women couldn’t own property, etc. Jewels were for a lot of women their only form of actual wealth.”
“That jewelry was yours to dispose of as you see fit. It makes sense for him to feel hurt but most likely you didn’t think you’d get back together.”
