This old ring had her feeling blue.
A Tennessee TikTok influencer said she felt epically betrayed after discovering that her husband proposed using his ex-fiancée’s engagement ring. She detailed the cheapskate’s jewelry recycling scheme in a video with 4 million views on TikTok.
“I don’t even know how to feel right now,” Bella Blake, 28, gushed in the clip, detailing her alleged mistreatment at the hands of the unnamed bozo.
The Clarksville resident described how she had been gushing about the bauble, whose origin was unknown to her at the time, Caters News Agency reported.
“I came home and was talking about how much I love this ring…I do and it’s beautiful,” recalled the scorned wife while flashing the finger trinket to the camera. “I love it so much.”
That’s when her sneaky soulmate dropped the bombshell. “He was like ‘Oh yeah Erica loved it too,'” described the appalled influencer while choking back tears. “And I was like ‘Erica?’ The other girl you were going to marry? You guys were engaged for a whole year?”
She continued, “And he goes, ‘Yeah it’s the same ring that I gave to her.'”
Blake was devastated that the ring-a-ling would try and pawn the band off on her like a shifty diamond merchant.
She found the ordeal particularly galling as the scoundrel didn’t even “pick it out” for her, but instead went with his ex to the jewelry store and had the ring “custom-made” for his then-paramour.
“I love it, it’s beautiful, but it’s not my ring,” declared the crestfallen gal while reflecting on the sordid saga. To add insult to injury, her hubby refused to get Blake the 10-karat ring she wanted because he felt it was “too expensive,” per the clip.
The content creator concluded the video by asking the commentariat for advice, inquiring, “Should I just ask him to get that one instead? I don’t know what to do.
The commentariat was appalled that her beau would break the rules of engagement in such a fashion.
“This is one of those actions speak louder than words moments… the fact that he designed it with her then did nothing for you,” lamented one viewer.
Another declared, “He’d be in the middle of the woods looking for it with a metal detector.”
“The fact he designed it with her yet the one you want is too expensive?” spluttered a third. “I don’t believe it. He was stupid to mention Erica. He needs to fix the situation to make it right. I’m sorry you’re hurting.”
One fan even suggested that Blake sell the ring and buy the one that she originally wanted while others suggested that she get a divorce.
