My ex-friend copied my engagement ring?

This chick has some SERIOUS issues!! Is she actually living next door to you right now? I'd be really creeped out if she were. Is she like this with your other mutual friends and have you discussed this problem with any of them?

There's really not enough information here to actually say so but from what you're said my first thought was "stalker chick". Unless things have really gotten out of hand from now on you'll just have to be 'busy' when she wants to do things together. Don't answer her calls right away and only return them when hours have passed because you didn't hear the phone ring/were busy and forgot to call back/play dumb and say you thought you had called called back and act like its no big deal etc...

As for your ring once she's out of the picture you can show it off to people and tell them about the weird girl that wasn't engaged but copied everything you did/had even down to your ring etc...and laugh about it.

If she really is a stalker type then be careful and take precautions. Seek legal help and stay safe. She may just be odd or she could be mentally ill and a bit dangerous. Hopefully she's just odd. She can only steal your joy and love of your ring if you allow her to. Don't let her.

Added later - You live in a small town? That can make things worse!! I grew up in a small southern town where 'sharing information' aka gossip was a way of life. I feel your pain. If anyone comments on your ring looking like hers you just comment on how sweet it is that she liked yours so much that she had to go out and buy her own. If they indicate that they think you copied her then laugh like its the funniest thing you've heard in a while and say, "You're not serious are you? She aw my ring and had to go and but one just like it. I guess I should be flattered that she's copying me." You simply have to act like you aren't bothered by this and laugh her off if/when people say anything.

I've had a friend like this too. It started with her buying the same clothes, liking the same things, always having to know where I was. She followed me everywhere and got mad when I saw others.

It was when she met my boyfriend that things got worse. She would never leave us alone and would always show up uninvited wherever we were, his place or mine. Then she started to touch him weirdly (his words) every time I left the room. She would move right next to him and put her hand on his thigh and get really close to his face.

It was when she kissed him he had enough, and said that I had to break up with her. And I did. Because I had never been so mad in my life, not because she kissed him, but because my boyfriend APOLOGIZED for her craziness.

Don't sell your ring, or get a new one. That ring should be a about you and the person you love most in the world. Don't let her get in you head. Think of the person you're going to marry, and forget the weird friend that was obsessed with you.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with your ring. You're letting the memory of someone who's not even your friend any more ruin it for you. The ring is not about her. It's about promising to spend your life with your fiance.

If she's an "ex-friend" then why are you aware of what she's doing nowadays? Why do you even care?

If you don't want to be friends anymore, then stop associating with her. Don't get together, don't take her calls, block her on social media, and ignore any messages she sends you. If mutual friends try to gossip to you about what she's up to, interrupt them and say, "I don't want to hear about her" and then change the topic or walk away.

If it's the kind of situation where you can't cut her completely from your life, then just hide her on social media (and block what she can see on your feed), don't go out of your way to interact with her, and don't engage in any deep conversations with her if you have to see her at a party or something.

If she asks you to do something together like go shopping, then simply say "No I'm not available" and change the topic; if she says something like getting pregnant together just laugh and say something like "That's odd" or "I don't think so" and change the topic; if she asks where you bought your top so she can copy it, just say something vague like "It was a gift so I don't know" or "I don't remember" and then change the topic. Excuse yourself and walk away from the conversation if she won't knock it off.

If she walks up to you to show you the purse she bought that's identical to yours, just smile and say "How nice" and walk away.

If she's been copying you since she met you ... well, she certainly sounds like a weirdo, and it means she has really low self-esteem if she has to base her entire personality on someone else's. Especially someone she just met. I agree with you that she sounds like a thoughtless jerk.

However, it's YOUR problem if you're so disgusted by her ring that you want to sell your own. Yeah, it's very annoying that she went out and bought the same one, but if you've gotten to the point where yours is "ruined" and you want to sell it ... well, that means that YOU have low self-esteem as well.

Plus, unless your ring was custom-designed and is a completely unique setting, you really can't complain that someone else has the same ring as you. If you buy a mass-produced ring (or a bridal gown) from a store, then that's just what happens. Especially if it's from a big chain like Kay's. If you're SO upset by this that you're losing sleep over it or willing to sell the engagement ring that your fiance(e) gave you, then you may want to get therapy.

Not only that, but most engagement ring settings aren't SO unique that you won't find a copy elsewhere. Most solitaires look the same, for example. Three of my close friends got engaged around the same time as me and their fiances all got their rings from different shops without consulting each other, but they pretty much look exactly the same (that "halo" trend that's popular nowadays).

So, while I agree with you that she's annoying, you're also putting yourself in this situation by paying attention to what she does, and also by allowing yourself to get upset over it.

She's clearly a nutter, but if her actions have the power to "ruin" your engagement ring for you - the symbol of your love for your life partner - then you're the bigger nutter.

Stop hanging out with her and telling her what you are doing. It may be rough but she will only continue to make your life worse if you don't put an end to it. That's really unhealthy.

She is sad and her behavior is silly.

you have not lost anything from her silly ways.

Enjoy the ring you have and wear it proudly.

She only wins if you let this effect your life .
