Love is a battlefield

Jilted bride auctions off 18-carat engagement ring on eBay after husband-to-be ‘turns gay’

A 27-year-old woman from the U.K. tried auctioning off her 18-carat, diamond-studded, white gold engagement ring after discovering the man she was supposed to marry is gay.

The ex-bride from Manchester is understandably very upset.

In the listing, she explains that she and her now ex-husband-to-be had not only planned their entire wedding, they had bought a house and adopted a pug together “because that’s what adults do…when you’re in love.”

Then one day, her fiancé stopped wanting to have sex with her, which surprised her since she apparently has “a great rack and an ass that Kim K would insure for £8 million by mistaking it for her own.”

On top of that, he started “spending a little too much time with his friend Brad.”

After doing a little investigating, she learned that Brad and her husband-to-be were, in fact, sleeping together. So she called the wedding off.

To make matters worse, even though their no longer getting married, they ex-fiancés are still stuck living together because neither of them has enough money to move out.

She writes:

Here I am. Single, living with my ex-fiancé because we’re both too skint to move out, with a rock the size of Gibraltar on my finger, wondering, “How many other men have I turned?” whilst sharing a tub of ice cream with my dog and screaming “WHY” at the ceiling.

So she’s selling the ring.

“The ring is beautiful,” she writes. “I mean, Brad probably picked it as he has great taste.”

“I still have the receipt and the box, as if subconsciously I knew I’d be in my pyjamas alone in the middle of the afternoon on a Friday writing this tale on eBay.”

“I’m looking for money so I can finish renovating this house so I can either sell the house and move on, or be bought out by Brad so they can live happily together.”

The ex-bride describes the ring as having “lots of sexy little diamonds” and says it “can be resized, as it was for me, but it’s a size J at the moment.”

She concludes her listing by writing:

J for JOKES I ALMOST MARRIED SOMEONE WHO BLATANTLY LOVES THE D, AND THAT’S OKAY IF THAT’S WHAT HE WANTS TO DO, TO EACH HIS OWN, BUT IT’S NOT WHAT I’M ABOUT AS I’M ONLY 27 AND I’D LOVE TO HAVE SEX AGAIN AT SOME POINT.

The ring had attracted bids of up to £5,000 ($6448.00 U.S.) before the listing mysteriously vanished.
