She Found Out Her Fiancé, Who Makes $200,000 A Year, Bought Her Engagement Ring For $38 Online, So She Said She Didn’t Want It
Just a few weeks ago, this 27-year-old woman was proposed to by her fiancé, who is 29, and she didn’t see it coming at all.
“But we’ve been together for three years, and things have been going great. So I was really excited and said yes!” she recalled.
When she first saw the diamond engagement ring – an oval cut with diamonds across the band – that her fiancé got, she really liked it, too. All of her friends and family also thought it was stunning.
Yet, she found it strange that her fiancé wouldn’t tell her where he bought it after she asked. He only said that he got a “great deal.”
She didn’t read too much into it, though, until they were in bed yesterday, and she decided to ask if the ring was actually a diamond or moissanite.
“Mainly out of curiosity. I don’t have a preference, by the way,” she noted.
Well, her fiancé wasn’t sure and stated he’d have to look it up. That was when he pulled out his phone and went on an app known as Temu, which is an online marketplace known for offering extremely discounted items.
She was surprised to see that and asked if her fiancé had actually bought her ring from the app. He didn’t immediately respond, either, which is why she kept pressing him.
In the end, all he responded was, “Does it matter?” before he got up, left the room, and slept on the couch.

His reaction left her utterly confused all night long, and eventually, she just downloaded the app to investigate herself. This led her to find her exact engagement ring on the app, and it only cost a measly $38!
“I am mad. He makes good money – $200,000 a year – and I feel like he could’ve shelled out some money for a ring better than one on Temu,” she vented.
That’s why she ultimately told her fiancé that she didn’t want that engagement ring. But, with things now tense in their relationship, she’s not sure if that was really so crazy.
How would you feel if your partner made so much money but only spent that much on your ring? Would you view this as a red flag or not?
