A few years ago, I thought I had met the love of my life. She was smart, beautiful, and funny. I was finally ready to settle down. I went and picked out a beautiful, EXPENSIVE ring.

Ill say it again, forget the ring being beautiful, it depleted me of my life savings, but I loved her and she was worth it (so I thought.) A few months into our engagement, I came home from a tough day at work only to find that my apartment was completely empty. All of her stuff was gone, and all that was left was the engagement ring lying on my table.

Besides being completely devastated about the situation I was left wondering what to do with this ring. I thought to myself, should I keep it and save it for the next girl? Should I sell it back to the jeweler? Well, I decided I didn't want to see that ring ever again and could use the money. So, I went back to the jeweler and tried to sell it.

As miserable as I was at the time, my misery was intensified when the jeweler came back and told me how much I could resell it to him for.

As if I wasn't depressed enough, the ring that I had spent my life savings on could only be bought back at 32% of its original cost. Needless to say, I kept the ring for hopes that one day; I could sell the ring for what it was really worth. This website is my answer.

A few years ago I was sitting, watching tv in my apartment when I got a very disturbing phone call from my brother, Josh. It turned out, the woman he once loved and prepared to marry left him home alone and broken hearted. Naturally as his sister, I felt horrible for him.

I rushed over to his empty apartment to console him, as I too have been through many broken hearts. Fortunately or unfortunately I haven't come close to getting engaged but that's a whole other story. Anyways, me being the logical sister I am, my first question was, I know you are miserable, but did she at least leave you the ring.

And the rest, as you know.is history. Idonowidont.com was developed. I always say everything happens for a reason. This was just another blessing in disguise.
