God, where do I even start? My life has turned into something you\u2019d expect in a movie. I\u2019m working up to the end, so bear with me. All I\u2019ll say for now is that my girlfriend and I have never had trust issues, and I would never even suspect her of cheating if it wasn\u2019t for what happened.\n

I\u2019m a 28-year-old guy, pretty clueless about jewelry. I\u2019ve been with Meredith, my girlfriend, for three years. She\u2019s 26, and I can\u2019t imagine my life without her. Deciding to propose was easy, but picking out the ring was hard. I leaned on Meredith\u2019s friends for advice, especially Lisa, her best friend.\n

One day, Lisa came over to help with the ring, but we decided to visit a jewelry store instead. I texted Meredith to ask when she\u2019d be back, under the guise of ordering takeout. Her reply said she was shopping with Lisa\u2014the same Lisa standing next to me. We stared at each other, confused and shocked.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
