Woman Savagely Humiliates Fiance’ Online For Her ‘Small Ring’ After Finding The Receipt

#1

When it comes to an engagement ring, there are a lot of things to consider and every couple is different so it's no surprize that people are up in arms about this particular online post.

#2

Proposals shouldn’t be about expensive rings, but sadly many believe that the amount their partner’s willing to shell out for the occasion is a direct reflection of how much they love them.

One newly engaged woman took to a forum site on Monday to complain that her husband-to-be didn’t spend enough money on her ring.

“His salary is nearing a 6 figure sum and he’s usually very generous,” she explained. “Having seen the receipt I know he paid £1,300 ($1,671) for it — which is a lot less than I would have imagined he would have spent on such a significant piece of jewelry.“The first word that entered my head was ‘small,’” she wrote. “

She added that while she was so happy to accept when he got down on one knee, she was disappointed upon seeing the ring.“There’s nothing to dislike about the type of ring per se, as a diamond solitaire would have been my choice, but it’s the whole thing — the color of the gold, the setting, the small stone and relatively chunky shoulders.”

"He’ll be more disappointed in me for making a fuss over it when, in his eyes, it fits and there’s nothing actually wrong with it rather than being disappointed that I’m not truly happy with it. Someone at work apparently told him that ‘if she makes it all about the ring, then she’s not the girl for you’.

"Ideally I would have loved for us to have chosen a ring together and made a special day finding one we both liked.

"As it’s something I’ll be wearing every day and is such a special piece of jewelry I wanted to really love it and I just don’t.

"Has anyone else been in this situation? What did you do?"

There was a mixed reaction to her post but a lot of people were outraged by the fact she was complaining about the ring given to her.

“Blimey. I’d have been delighted; talk about being ungrateful,” one person said. Another remarked, “if it’s simply not big and flashy enough … it sounds like you’re more interested in showing off the ring than you are in him.”

Another said:

"I don't really see your problem? All you don't like about the ring is it's "small" and only cost 1300 where you think he should of spend more.

I'd be disappointed if I asked someone to marry me and they made a fuss over the ring tbh. I mean someone wants to commit the rest of your lives together and you want to make a fuss over a ring?

Someone at work apparently told him that ‘if she makes it all about the ring, then she’s not the girl for you' Well I agree. Marriage and a life together is about so much more than a ring.

Maybe be an adult and understand that a ring doesn't make a marriage?".

But it wasn’t all hate, with some people taking her side and defending her feelings. “You are the person who will be wearing the ring and having to look at it all day every day,” the commenter noted. “The cost is not as much of a factor, but you must be happy with the look of the ring.”

What do you think about the woman’s complaint? Was it justified or do you think that she was simply being materialistic? Whatever side of the fence you’re on, this story should serve as a warning: if you want the perfect engagement ring, you should let your beau know long before they propose that you’d like to pick it yourself. Otherwise, you could find yourself in the same position as this MumsNet user, whose relationship now appears to be on the line.
