She Told Her Fiancé She Didn’t Care About Expensive Engagement Rings But She Found Out He Bought Hers On Amazon For $8 And She’s Pissed
A woman recently got engaged to her now-fiancé and the two of them have known one another since they were kids.
At first, they became friends, and they have been dating for years. Throughout their relationship, they have talked about getting married frequently, and now they’re on their way to making that happen.
“He proposed to me earlier this year,” she explained. “I have always been a woman who doesn’t care for diamonds or price points.”
“I told him $10,000 rings didn’t matter to me, as long as he truly loved me. Despite the title, I want to say I am not a material person. I have never felt money is an indicator of love.”
As they say, it’s the thought that counts, right? Well, she figured out how much her fiancé spent on her engagement ring and she is pretty pissed off about it.
While she was looking through Amazon, she came across a photo that appeared to be her exact engagement ring.
Her ring is really different; it has a black colored band and firey opals. There was no way the ring staring back at her on Amazon was anything except the one her fiancé proposed to her with.
“It was listed as selling for $8,” she said. “Honestly, by the time I saw it the colors on my ring were rubbing off so I knew it wasn’t a billion-dollar piece of jewelry. Still, I was upset. Both of us work.”
She said that while she and her fiancé are saving their money up, they both get around $300 each after saving every month.

So clearly, there was cash enough for her fiancé to buy her something that did cost more than, well, $8.
“I was hoping he would have at least spent $50 on something that is meant to symbolize our commitment to each other for the rest of our lives,” she continued.
She confronted her fiancé, who revealed that indeed he had shelled out just $8 for her engagement ring, and he did find it on Amazon.
That’s all he told her before he began avoiding the rest of the conversation about the ring. She backed down in an effort to de-escalate things, but her fiancé got angry and walked off anyway.
She is well aware that she told her fiancé for years that the price of her ring didn’t matter and yet, she’s changing her tune.
She feels hurt that he spent practically nothing on her ring.
“I’ve told him a million times that I would love him even if we were living on the streets,” she wrote.
“Still, the fact that he only spent eight dollars kind of makes me feel like s***. Like, is our engagement really only worth $8?”
