You told it well. Sometimes it's easier to tell a true story because you have all of the facts. What did you do with the ring after you found it?

Wow! You are a better person than I am. I'd still be holding a grudge after those forty years! I'm glad you were mature enough to overcome the initial hurt and adjust so well. Good story. Flows well and thoughtful. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Barb @ TSTL

Hello and what a gripping letter. This story is one of those rare jewels out of a treasure box. When you find it, you just can't put it down. You describe the poor lady's abandonment vividly. Gosh, the dress and veil hanging in her room. That whole first paragraph just glued me. The frustration of the ring being thrown, echoing out from the written paper. I'm a male reader so I actually felt the ring hitting me even though I'm innocent. Men need to read your letter so that way we can finally understand! The return of the value of the ring, I gotta know..was this part true?? I understand if its a secret..Good luck to you and Cheers.

When one party backs out of a wedding, I believe it is the best decision even though it's painful. You expressed a situation that many have experienced.

Really a great poem and the words
written in a very special way.
Unfortunately these situations can happen.
The important issue here is to be very sure when one does
want to marry someone.
Fortunately both persons involved are happily married.

I love this . I had a few bad marriages that should have ended before they began and the man would have made a much better friend than mate. Proud of you and the decision to not take it personally. Bad as it was at the time you are so much happier and healthier for it now. well done

I didn't like the format of this piece, and I felt it could use more work. Has potential as a writer, the poem at least tells a story, which is good. Needs work.

This is an interesting story in which the author has incorporated the idea of Hurting Someone very well. I liked the ending where she feels obliged to reimburse him for the engagement ring. Good luck.

What an astonishing and uplifting story of someone who refused to be a victim. Rare and wonderful to be able to do that. Thank you for telling us about it.

What nice comments you have given me. I really appreciate each one.

And each one of them totally honest. I don't do the other kind. If I find a really hopeless piece of writing, I chicken out and don't review it. But Ive been known to go as low as 3 stars!
