His Wife Mocked The Engagement Ring He Bought Her On Social Media, Before Laughing And Making Fun of Him To His Face
Several weeks ago, this man’s brother proposed to his girlfriend.
His brother picked out an engagement ring that was about twice the size of the engagement ring he’d given his wife.
Back when he’d wanted to propose to his wife, he was struggling financially, and even though he wished he could have bought her a larger diamond, he had to go with something smaller.
“At the moment, I presented my situation to her, and she said she didn’t care and just wanted to get married,” he said.
Despite not having a lot of money saved up for a ring, he did his best to find a wonderful ring, and he even chose a larger diamond than the one the ring originally came with.
When his brother got engaged, he and his wife had been married for a few months. An aunt and uncle recently renewed their wedding vows, and their uncle gave their aunt a bigger ring. So, in a kind gesture, their aunt sold his brother her old ring, and she gave him a good deal.
Because he had already gotten married to his wife, he didn’t feel jealous or like their aunt favored his brother. In his view, it seemed like it was just good timing since he was planning to get engaged, and their aunt and uncle renewed their vows around the same time.
After his brother proposed, his wife has been making rude comments about how his family seems to favor other family members and that she isn’t treated as well as other significant others in the family. He tries to assure her that that’s not true, but they fight about it constantly.
Now, his wife is being unfair about how he had to get her a slightly smaller ring when they got engaged. He said that if she could wait about a year, he could save up enough money to get her a bigger diamond than the one she has on her ring currently.

Even though he’s still not financially stable, he wants to do everything he can to make his wife happy.
But understandably, her digs at him and his family have hurt his feelings, and the constant arguments are exhausting.
His wife said it’s not fair that his aunt sold her old ring to his brother, but he pointed out that a lot of the reason his aunt did it in the first place was just because of timing since they had already gotten married months prior, and she just happened to be getting a new ring for her vow renewal at the same time that his brother was planning to propose.
“Today, she shared on Facebook a picture of a hen soup with a hen leg with a tiny wedding ring on its toe, comparing that ring to hers, saying it’s just like her. So, when she got home, she showed me the picture, laughing and making fun of me. I saw red. She publicly humiliated me for something I cannot control,” he explained.
By this point, his wife had been complaining about the size of her engagement ring for a few weeks. He was sick of the way she was treating him, and he told her that he wouldn’t put up with it anymore.
“I told her this way of treating people will lead her to die alone, and I was extra patient because I loved her, but I have to love myself first,” he continued.
In response, his wife called him an “immature jerk” and said that he was oblivious to the supposed fact that his entire family was being mean to him.
She then claimed that she was the only one in this situation who was kind to him. After this, he left the house to calm down. His wife called him a few times, but he didn’t answer because he didn’t want to say anything else he’d regret.
Now, he wishes he hadn’t spoken so harshly to his wife. While he didn’t yell at all, he knows what he said touched a nerve because, apparently, his wife has expressed her fears of ending up alone. She struggles with anxiety and worries that people in her life will hurt her.
And even though he struggles with anxiety and also has depression, he doesn’t bring those up during arguments to excuse bad behavior on his part.
He is on medication and does his best to cope in healthy ways, but he understands that everyone is different and deals with mental illness in their own ways.
At first, he hadn’t felt guilty for how he reacted during the fight with his wife, but upon reflection, he felt horrible for the things he said. So, he told her he was sorry and that he would stay with her and love her for the rest of their lives.
Do you think he was wrong for getting mad when his wife shared a Facebook post making fun of her engagement ring?
