Her Fiancé Lied To Her About Her Engagement Ring, And Now She Isn’t Sure If She Should Confront Him
This twenty-six-year-old woman had been dating her boyfriend for five years when he finally proposed just a few months ago.
But, even though she is really looking forward to tying the knot, one thing about the engagement has been really upsetting her– the ring. In fact, he apparently completely lied about it.
She claims that they talked about getting engaged for a while, and during those conversations, she shared her engagement ring preferences. She also asked to go ring shopping together as a couple, but her now-fiancé reportedly said no.
Then, leading up to the engagement, he randomly brought up how he had been offered a ring by a family member. That family member had been married and divorced and had no use for the ring anymore.
Still, though, she told him she did not want it. It was not because of appearances or anything, either, because she actually never even saw what it looked like. Instead, she just did not want a ring that came from a troubled past, if you will.
“I told him that I did not want the ring as their relationship ended in a very messy, mean, and contentious divorce. I didn’t think that it was a good symbol for our marriage,” she explained. Understandable.
Anyway, once her boyfriend actually proposed, she realized her ring was far from what she expected. It was not her style and had none of the characteristics she told her fiancé about.
Regardless, she was just happy to be engaged to the love of her life and dropped the topic.
Well, that was until recently when she learned that the ring really was from that family member and realized that her fiancé had been lying to her face.

“My fiancé has concocted a story about shopping for and buying the ring as a cover-up that he keeps telling me, our friends, and members of my family. He does not know I know,” she revealed.
So now, she has been left extremely hurt and confused. She knows that her fiancé is a practical and frugal person. So, she has been wondering if he did not want to spend money on a “new” ring.
Nonetheless, they are also very financially stable right now and could very easily afford a modest ring.
Plus, she is just most upset that her fiancé would start their lifelong commitment with a blatant lie.
“I feel really hurt and sad he would lie to me about the ring. It makes me sad when my friends ask me about the ring, and I feel like I cannot tell the truth and have to hide how I really feel about it,” she said.
On top of all of that, she now has no idea how to handle this situation. She is not sure if she should confront her fiancé and risk conflict overshadowing their engagement or just take the truth about the ring to the grave.
Do you think she should talk to her fiancé about the ring? Would you be worried if your fiancé started your engagement with a lie? What would you do in this situation?
