She Bought Some Diamond Rings For Herself Which Upset Her Boyfriend And Now She’s Asking The Internet If Wearing Them Is Wrong
A woman bought herself some diamond rings to wear because she really wanted to, but now her boyfriend is upset with her for doing this.
She’s asking the internet if what she’s doing is wrong because her boyfriend is certainly making her feel like that.
She started out by explaining that she is not even close to getting engaged or married to her boyfriend, and they have been together for a little less than 2 years.
She absolutely loves jewelry, especially anything that sparkles and is eye-catching. She never cares if what she wears in regards to jewelry is fake or real; if she likes it, she likes it.
Over the past several years, she has really wanted to buy herself a few diamond bands that are stackable.
“For years I’ve wanted to get some stackable diamond bands that are a little on the nicer side (although still fake) so that I can pair them with some of my outfits,” she explained.
While she was on social media, she ended up finding a seller close to her that had some beautiful rings for sale, so she purchased a few.
“Most of them are just plain diamond bands but a few look like real engagement rings,” she continued.
“They were beautiful and I really liked how they looked so I bought them for myself.”

“Keep in mind It was never my intention to wear them on my left ring finger like an actual engagement ring or attempt to project that “I’m married” when I’m not.”
“I just wore them on my right hand and in different spots specifically for that purpose.”
Well, as soon as her boyfriend found out he called her tacky. He then accused her of buying fake engagement rings to “play pretend.”
She pointed out to him that she bought the rings because she liked them and wanted to wear them. It had nothing to do with playing at anything.
She also said she could spend her money however she wants to, and she doesn’t need to wait for him to feel like buying her jewelry.
“What was I supposed to do? Wait for him to gift it to me? Ask permission? He would never think to buy me something like that.”
Her boyfriend really isn’t thoughtful at all when it comes to gift-giving, and he always ends up buying her a gift card or giving her money.
She’s genuinely concerned she’s a jerk for not waiting for him to buy her a ring and for buying a few for herself because they made her happy.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“I have a couple of rings, plain bands, and diamonds, wedding and engagement rings, that were passed down from my grandmothers.”
“I wear them all the time. I love having them. I love looking at them. I love wearing them. Tell your BF to get over himself.”
“My dad somehow managed to dodge buying my mum an engagement ring at the time (40 years ago) and she only told me a few years ago she wished she had one.”
“She’s always wanted a real diamond ring. She’s in her sixties now and lives alone and I’ve always remembered it, though she never mentioned it again.”
“She’d never splurge like that on herself so I’m seriously considering buying her one for her birthday.”
“Yeah I question why is he so worried about it? Does he think someone else will think they’re engaged?”
“What’s he got going on on the side that he doesn’t want anyone to think they might be engaged? Or is he confident that this is just temporary and he never has any intention of making it more permanent?”
“I have a gorgeous diamond and sapphire ring that looks like a wedding ring too (and very single). I wear it because I love it and don’t give a flying F what anyone else thinks.”
“Wear whatever you want, who cares if people assume things? I literally have a wedding band and people don’t right away assume I’m married most of the time anyway.”
“Your boyfriend is being insecure and rude, it’s amazing to wear things that make you feel good and don’t let anyone stop you.”
“I wasn’t aware it was illegal to wear diamonds on the left ring finger while unengaged or unmarried! Better not tell him that engagement rings come in all shapes and colors.”
“In some cultures, the tradition is for both parties to wear their future wedding bands on their right hand and then switch to the left after marriage. In others, colored stones are the tradition.”
“It’s your money. Your aesthetic. He has no right to tell you what or where you can wear something.”
“I think the bigger issue is why does he have such an issue with this. Because what he’s told you just seems off to me.”
