She Doesn’t Like The Engagement Ring Her Fiancé Proposed To Her With And She’s Disappointed It’s Not Her Dream Ring

A 21-year-old woman has been engaged to her 20-year-old fiancé for the last 7 months, and they have been with one another for a bit more than 2 years total.
Before her fiancé proposed to her, she would tease him about a proposal, like she insists many women do, and she has always thought of how the perfect proposal would go for her since she was little.
As she more frequently brought up getting engaged and married, she then decided to start looking at what ring she would love to have and what jeweler she would like her ring to come from.
Her “dream ring” was a 2-carat moissanite solitaire oval ring, since she knew the diamond one would be a lot more expensive, and she even picked out the jeweler she wanted her ring to come from.
Two months before her fiancé asked her to marry him, she was on a road trip along with her best friend when her boyfriend texted her to ask for her best friend’s phone number.
“They never communicate so I knew something was up,” she explained. “Not even 5 minutes later, she pulls up Pinterest and says, “Man, my Pinterest has been FILLED with wedding stuff! What kind of ring do you want?.”
“IMMEDIATELY the bells and whistles start going off: she’s trying to tell my boyfriend what kind of ring I want.”
“So I start showing her the jewelers, different rings, down to the exact ring I want. I peered over and I saw her sending pictures of rings to him on Snapchat.”
“I thought I was set. Yea, not exactly.”

Well, two months later, her fiancé asked her to pick a place for them to have dinner, and after they were done, he took her to a water garden where they actually went for their very first date.
In the garden, her fiancé took out his phone and began playing their favorite song for them to dance to.
When the song was finished, he got down on his knee and whipped out a box, that clearly held an engagement ring inside.
“The first thing I saw was that it said Zales on top of the box,” she said. “Then when he opened the box, there was sitting the complete opposite of what I wanted: a half-carat pear-shaped ring with a double halo and a ¾ pave band.”
“Now I LOVE my fiancé; he’s my best friend and I truly wouldn’t trade him for the world. HOWEVER, I definitely felt a little disappointed.”
“What happened to the communication between him and my best friend? The conversation we had during that car ride? Of course, I didn’t show the disappointment on my face, it would’ve killed him.”
She told her fiancé that she would marry him, put on the ring, and reassured herself that in another 3 or 5 years she definitely could upgrade her ring to the one of her dreams.
Later on, her fiancé revealed to a friend of his (while she was standing there) what he had spent on her engagement ring, and she was so upset to know it was basically the same price as her dream ring. She also learned that her fiancé picked out her engagement ring because he really did like it.
“7 months after the proposal, the ring has started to grow on me for sentimental reasons, but there’s still that lingering disappointing feeling in the back of my mind,” she continued.
She really does not like her ring at all, and she’s wondering if that makes her a jerk for feeling this way. What do you think? You can read the original post on Reddit here.
