I assume he’s not much older than you. not like he has a few grand to throw around. it’s actually pretty mush an untitled Entitled attitude. Perhaps you are not ready to get married if the ring is an issue.
i hate i can’t edit.
it’s pretty much an entitled attitude*
That's a nice ring, you sound like a gold digger
Shame on you
You told him your not picky. So no you shouldn't tell him it's the thought that counts.
“When he asked me what type of ring I wanted I told him I'm not picky.”
You said it.
Your a very disingenuous person I hope he finds someone better, hopefully someone of stature and character with personality basically the opposite of you.
Yea, you should bring this up to him, so he can decide if he still wants to marry you or not.
Or this is just a troll post lol.
At least commenters give real thoughts on this situation.
If the the size of the engagement ring is a reason to be upset with him.. You're not worth marrying in the first place and he should find someone who can better appreciate him. God diggers are unattractive as hell.
The ring is by far one of the best looking rings i've ever seen.
you are awful for even caring about this, so pathetic
you don't even wear engagement rings for that long right? you get an actual wedding ring later? this is so childish and spoiled of you. sapphires are nice
A cheap engagement ring isn't a big deal, but you should definitely express your desire to have something nice for the actual wedding band.
You said "When he asked me what type of ring I wanted I told him I'm not picky."
It's not his fault you don't like because he did qive you the opportunity to tell him what you liked.
The good news is that if you don't get married because of that ring you won't have to pay for the divorce which will cost a lot more than the ring did.
Maybe you should drop 3 months salary on some ornamental material item for your boyfriend b4 you start talking shit. If you love him, you love him for who he is, not what he has.
3 month salary tho 😭
Depends. Are you marrying him because you love him or because you just want a big fancy ring?
GOOD QUESTION!
I like the sentimental value of the ring that the guy picks out for you.
You should give the ring back and tell him you lied. That you want a substantial amount of money spent on your ring because you are worth it. And if he can't afford a nice ring, you are not interested in him.
That's what you are saying... right?
Just tell him if he buys you a diamond you'll do anal.
This guy has no idea of the mistake he has made, and neither do you. Both of you will become each others biggest lessons.
If you are a Material Girl, best you do him a favor return it and find a sugar daddy.
I’m sorry. It’s really ugly but it’s the thought that counts.
Throw the first stone then
You're right and he can't read her mind either. Like many other people have talked about how much they like the ring as well too
@Whatever2929292 it’s so simple looking. I personally would be disappointed if I received a ring like that. But I’d also be grateful that he even proposed in the first place but I wouldn’t lie to him and pretend I like it.
Its to be joined with your wedding band so it would be ok
I love sapphire and think it looks nice. How big a sapphire do you expect? Those things are expensive
We really are fucking chumps for being convinced we need both an engagement and a wedding ring. People are making bank offa this wedding industry shit
If that's a problem for you, maybe he should marry someone else, who doesn't care about money and shiny stuff.
You're so ungrateful, he worked hard for that. It's a ring, it's not the end of the world.
3 month salary is $450 tho! How you eat? 😭
@JustiReno What? Sorry I don't understand the words you're using, I'm not very good at English.
@JustiReno yea you make no sense every time you type you say bla bla bla... How do you eat? You mean how much money he is making? Is she not making any money either?
@Whatever2929292 what happens when you knock her up you want you girl to still go to her house keeping gig? I thought men wanted a traditional girl, sorry I didn’t know you support radical feminism
@JustiReno I don't support feminism. I also am not for a lazy bum either. Who just wants my money.
@JustiReno which in those relationships... There is a give and take. Radical feminism isn't a working woman... Radical feminism is hating men. Wanting advantages over men... The list really goes on and on.
You don't know what you're talking about and not all men are the same. Even then there are traditional marriages where the man for sure does not make that much as well as when the woman might work a part time gig, work from home, etc. So not like she does NOTHING lol.
I have dated rich women before too! So suck it
@Whatever2929292 my grandma was an English teacher, my girlfriend wants to be a teacher or maybe a nurse - I want her to teach so she doesn’t spend so much time at work. My girl has a strong work ethic, she’s a straight A student. Wth she gonna gain by working in a hotel or restaurant except petty cash to buy some clothes? Seriously so many people are doing fine right now. In Seattle now we have 100s of homeless drug addicts in our downtown, we have tons of poor people in the south end, the north end is completely fine, kids are playing baseball, football, bjj, doing music lessons, math tutoring, tech and science labs all over, people here really are doing fine, and I bet you’re one who says “they took our jobs” how the hell was it ever your job, you own the company? Or you want the American government to own it you Marxist!
@JustiReno LOL... You judge me for not having money and other people... You know those jobs don't pay SHIT!!! You also know they can't be a housewife or stay at home mom.
But those are honorable jobs
@JustiReno you have no idea my beliefes. I have no problem with people who make money. But you judge people for not having money but you want a nurse or teacher... You know they don't make anything... Right?
So you're just going to judge them.
You're going on about a lot of bullshit
@Whatever2929292 guy teachers don’t make good salaries you’re right but 2x-3x what you’d make at Walmart bro that’s the point, nurses in my city make $150,000. You seriously … should stop being angry at other people … because you’re gonna need other peoples help … a lot
@JustiReno I don't work at Walmart and it is none of your business anyways. At least someone is working a job and truthfully people need groceries
@JustiReno the original point of this was not the job I worked... It was over a ring. Moron.
@JustiReno you have called me all these names and made all of these assumptions over a fucking ring dude.
Like I said... What if the guy was a teacher for instance. That was all he could afford... Material value is all you care about though.
@Whatever2929292 bro exactly it’s about a ring and him spending $450 on engagement ring, if you make federal minimum wage $7.25 n work full time 3 months salary is a 3500 ring bro
@JustiReno some people can't save a three months salary and AGAIN LOVE IS NOT MEASURED IN MATERIAL VALUE.
I am not saying I would personally pay that for a ring but I would not be with a woman who measured love in the ammount of money I put on a fucking ring. That is not even the wedding ring.
If only the engagement ring is that much. How much is the wedding? How much is the wedding ring? I am sorry some people can not go without water, power, food, gas, etc for THREE WHOLE MONTHS.
@JustiReno if a woman is that materliastic that she does not think someone should go 3 months without basic needs then she needs a sugar daddy
@Whatever2929292 no if your parents didn’t teach you what life’s about then figure it out in your 20s and 30s. If you’re a guy, a teacher, in some shit hole town making 45,000 a year you should be thinking car, house, ring. You should still be able to go on vacations as long as you don’t have a serious gambling or drug habit. What’s your deal?
And I see you’re a little uncultured… the engagement ring has the stone, wedding ring is a diamond band you wear next to it, girls wear two rings
@JustiReno you don't understand what you're talking about
@JustiReno you're right. But if just ONE ring is THREE months salary. You aren't counting in bills and taxes and basic needs not to even mention your wants.
Plus the wedding. Plus the honeymoon. You're so materialistic
@Whatever2929292 girl has to buy her dress, guys family does wedding, you can’t go to the public park and bbq with your broke as family? Or you wanna show off to them 1x instead of putting the value on your girl hand for life, honeymoon is just a vacation right? That’s what I mean guys need to tell their sons to save for this for real, cuz it is about money in one way, or the security and freedom money gives you
@JustiReno Having money isn't bad but again you're being judgmental. You can't choose your family anyways idiot.
I told you. You should have seen how hot this blonde woman was. It was just long distance and things were not working out anymore. She had a lot of money and neither one of us was materialistic.
@Whatever2929292 why do I wanna see how hot some girl you were with is? I’m getting married next year I don’t care about another woman for nothing, my life is pretty much figured out I want to live a good life give back be a good person so I truly deserve a good life. Amen
@JustiReno I bet you got a gold digger! You're the one telling me all these things becasue you got so angry and offended. Like how so many people tell my how much I hate women but it's all either men who aren't women or women who you would never want to be with anyways.
I have seen the best in women. You're so angry I hope your wife is not this materialistic. But if she isn't she should maybe find someone else being honest.
IF she is then you deserve her
@JustiReno I am only telling you that not even all women are like that. I lived with my parents for a long time and I could have a sugar mama if I wanted. But I don't believe in doing that obviously.
Love isn't measured in material value that is my point
the ring itself doesn't look cheap; however, your actions - and reactions - it it can be construed as such.
requirement for expectation management is very likely in your - and his - future.
If you want a sugar daddy , then move on to someone else. Being materialistic isn't attractive. Ugh religious people and there marriages, and over spending. Love isn't materialistic.
You should give it back and move on. The ring is the whole point, and if you can't wave it around in people's faces to make them jealous, he's not worth having around.
No, it's your fault for only selling your body to one guy.
If you re not satisfied with this ring you should not marry him. He does not deserve you.
You said you weren't picky. It looks weird though. Why couldn't it be a normal diamond like all the other engagement rings.
Women only want marriage for 3 things
expensive ring
honeymoon
and the divorce
The 3 thing that benefits women.
If love is measured by ring size, then he needs to find a new woman that thinks more of him than a ring
This. Meanwhile I would be happy with even a plastic engagement ring. I would just be happy being proposed to, him wanting marriage. This is what is hard to find nowadays. Most men won't give marriage anymore; most keep the woman as another eternal girlfriend. It hurt sooo much (it shatters my ego, makes me feel worthless, devalues me) and here the OP already got what most of us are now struggling with and complaining about the ring being cheap... wow.
@Vesuvius87 Everyone wants to be the center of attention and they think the world revolves around them so it's like they want a 1000$ phone to show off when a 100$ phone does the same thing if not better she would never be my wife and we know how long their marriage will last hope he gets a clue soon and calls it off
@Vesuvius87 and thank you for being a real woman not an immature brat hope there are more of you around
You shouldn't say shit... he asked and you said you don't care when clearly you do
looks nice. maybe it's just to save for a better wedding ring.
Your priorities are messed up. I think he is the one who should be concerned here.
If you are that shallow then absolutely.. the ring is just a symbol...
Be grateful. A ring means absolutely nothing anyways.
I'm happy to see a small handful of the female responses here calling you out for being shallow. It gives me a glimmer of hope that there might be a few good women left in the world today. A few...
After you're married, you will have ALL of his money... be patient...
You Told him you aren’t Picky
What’d you Think was going to happen
I hate rings. But I can be the best husband. How about you ask him to build one?
well... what a promising future...
So, I assume your boyfriend is somewhat wealthy?
Also, what did you get him?
You shouldn't be getting married if this is something you worry about
Ms gurl , how do u know that's all that he could afford at this time?
He may think 🤔 pay for better weddings ring, sitting 💬 talk!
Don't get mad 😡 stay calm
do you like it no if you don't give it back and sat try again!
This is why I'm glad I don't live in the US.
Maybe it’s all he can afford, maybe he will get you one much better later on
Yes talk to him about it.
Or just dump him and spare him your petty ass
I'd rather a cheap engagement ring and just put the money saved towards the actual wedding ring.
Try to be honest about it without hurting his feelings or Embarrassing Him.
If its something which bothers you that much, then yes
clearly he is not good enough for you , dump how him now and look for other guy who make more money
And ur complaining? Do u not know how much it costs to fill gas rn… cut him slack
Yes, he needs to know what he's marrying before he makes the mistake of his life. Please tell him.
Sure! Bring it up if you want to hurt his feelings and shame him.
And possibly call off the engagement
Yes bring it up to him so he can get rid of you and find something better to do with his life.
You woman will never be satisfied in your life - Materialistic is what matters to you'll the most not the love... That is why you see relationship/marriage don't last this days!!!
I hope your boyfriend wakes up from being a blue pill simp.
