She’s Angry At Her Fiancé Because He Proposed With An Incredibly Cheap Ring
This woman’s fiancé, who is 35 years old, just proposed to her very recently. But, rather than being over the moon about her engagement, she’s been super upset about one specific detail: the cost of her engagement ring.
Apparently, her now-fiancé decided to stop at Walmart prior to Halloween in order to buy his nephew a costume for the holiday. And while he was at the superstore, he also picked up a sterling silver ring.
Then, he obviously proposed with the ring, and he actually provided her with the receipt afterward– claiming that she could exchange or return the piece of jewelry if she didn’t like it.
It was when she looked at the receipt that she realized just how little money her fiancé had spent on the ring.
“He makes good money, as I do, and he got me a ring that is less than two hours of his wage post-tax!” she revealed.
Yet, when it was her fiancé’s birthday, she went all out for him. In fact, she bought him a gift that was ten times more expensive than her engagement ring.
Not to mention, her fiancé routinely purchases toys or other gadgets for himself that cost much more than what he spent on the ring.
She also buys all of her own jewelry, and all of her pieces are worth more than the engagement ring.
That’s why she didn’t hold back her honest feelings and admitted to feeling offended by the ring. She also told her fiancé that he would have annoyed her less if he had just proposed to her with a Ring Pop.

Well, her fiancé clearly didn’t understand her sarcasm. Instead, he actually just purchased a Ring Pop for her the very next day!
“And not only did he go cheap, he didn’t even find out my style or what I liked,” she vented.
Still, her fiancé tried to turn the situation around on her– asking if she was genuinely thinking about turning down his proposal just because of the cost of the ring.
“And said I’m being that type of girl,” she added.
So, while she is genuinely upset about how little effort her fiancé put into finding a ring that she’ll wear for the rest of her life, she can’t help but wonder if caring about how cheap the ring was really makes her a jerk or not.
Should the cost of engagement rings not matter? Or can you understand why she’s upset since her fiancé could clearly afford to spend more on the piece of jewelry but didn’t? Do you agree that it seems like he didn’t put enough effort in? What would you do if you were in her shoes?
