A woman has been in a relationship with her high school sweetheart for the last 9 years. I’m sure that you can guess; they began dating back when they were in high school.

Prior to that, their families were friends, so they have been close for the majority of their lives. For the last 9 years, everything with them was absolutely perfect.

He proposed this summer, and she felt that their relationship was something out of a dream. She has never been so happy in her life, and her fiancé is a wonderful guy.

She thinks he’s the perfect man; he’s sweet, he’s sympathetic, and he does everything with a lot of care and consideration.

She also purchased a home and some cars with him, and they also have a little hobby farm that they work on together.

She adored him and adored her life, and when he did get down on one knee, she couldn’t have envisioned a more magical moment.

The ring that her fiancé bought for her was incredible, and she fell in love with it. But then, 2 months ago, everything came crashing down around her.

Her fiancé arrived home from a work trip (he frequently goes on trips where he is gone for weeks in a row), and he admitted something terrible to her.

“…He came home and revealed that he had a one-night stand with somebody he works with,” she explained.

“Heartbroken was an understatement. While I was at home taking care of our home and animals on my own, working 10-hour days at my job, planning our engagement photos and talking to wedding vendors excited as can be, planning the big beautiful wedding of our dreams, he slept with somebody else.”

Her fiancé was honest about the details of what happened with his one-night stand, and she decided to connect with this other woman to ask her about everything.

This other woman did confirm all of the information her fiancé had shared with her and insisted she did not have any feelings for him.

Since the one-night stand, neither her fiancé nor this other woman has tried to stay in touch, and they also do not follow one another on social media.

She knows that her fiancé will never encounter this other woman at work again due to what they do, so that is a bit of a relief here for her.

She then decided to stay in a relationship with her fiancé, and she does still want to get married to him too.

“I’m not letting his stupid decision ruin the life I’ve worked so hard to build,” she said. “The trust can be built back, and believe me when I say this man has put in the necessary work. We’ve had a lot of discussions about why it happened and talked to a therapist, and we both want to rebuild the trust and the relationship before getting married.”

She then pushed their wedding date back one year, which wasn’t too hard to do, as they had not booked anything so far.

Not a single person in her life or her fiancé’s life knows about his infidelity except for the two of them, and their loved ones are thrilled about their wedding.

Although she knows so many people would push her to end her relationship, she has her reasons for why she won’t kick him to the curb, and one is that her fiancé got a different job that permits him to be at home full-time now.

“Now the issue comes with my engagement ring,” she continued. “He proposed, and then not long after, this whole thing happened. I can’t stand to look at the bloody thing. I wear it around family and friends, and that’s it; other than that, it sits in its box, on a shelf in our room.”

“I’ve never worn it at work due to the nature of my job, so there have been no questions there. It feels like the embodiment of the betrayal. I cry when I have to put it on for any reason. I know it’s still a relatively fresh wound, I get that, but I feel like I should want to be wearing it again (at least sometimes) by now.”

“He’s offered to buy me a new one, but he spent a lot of money on this one, and it’s the one everyone has seen me wear and is in all of our photos. I suggested a silicone band or a cheap replacement for the time being, but he says it’s not the same thing, but he is open to it if it makes me more comfortable. I just don’t know what to do with it.”

She’s curious if she will ever be able to fall in love with the stunning engagement ring her fiancé ever again in her life.

Do you think she can, or do you think there will always be bad blood there, and she should get a new one to symbolize their new beginnings?
