This Lady Brutally Crushed Her Fiancé Over The Tiny Engagement Ring He Gave Her After Seeing How Much It Cost.

1 Getting engaged can be stressful.

Marriage is a big deal. When a man decides that he wants to marry a woman the next thing he starts thinking about is the engagement ring. For most guys, this can be hell because it's hard to know if she is going to like the ring or not.

2 People can be very materialistic.

The size of the ring really shouldn't matter when you propose but we live in a world where some people judge your love for them based on how much you spend on them. If someone is willing to dish out a bunch of money for a ring then that's cool but it shouldn't be the way you gauge their love.

3 This woman couldn't hide her disappointment.

Earlier this year A Mumsnet user who chose to remain anonymous got on the site seeking advice after her boyfriend proposed to her. She was thrilled about being asked but that thrill quickly turned to disappointment when she saw the size of her ring.

4 She explained the situation on Mumsnet.

In her post, she said: "DP proposed and presented me with the ring he’d chosen – a diamond solitaire in white gold. I was so happy and excited to accept but was disappointed when I first saw the ring. The first word that entered my head was 'small'."

5 She obviously had imagined things very differently.

The woman clearly had a picture of just what her dream engagement ring would look like. Sadly, the ring her fiancé gave her had fallen well short.

She continued, saying: "There’s nothing to dislike about the type of ring per se, as a diamond solitaire would have been my choice, but it’s the whole thing – the color of the gold, the setting, the small stone and relatively chunky shoulders."

6 She really lost it when she found out how much he paid.

To make matters worse, the woman found the receipt for the disappointingly tiny ring and felt like he didn't spend nearly enough. To try to justify her materialistic anger she shared how much money he regularly brings home.

She said: "His salary is nearing a 6 figure sum, and he’s usually very generous. Having seen the receipt I know he paid $1,674 for it – which is a lot less than I would have imagined he would have spent on such a significant piece of jewelry."

7 She's now worried about what will happen if she makes a big deal over the ring.

Maybe her fiancé really liked the ring and that's why he bought it. Maybe he thought she would be pleased by it. Who knows. It seems like the easiest way for the woman to resolve the issue would just be to tell him she doesn't like the ring and would like a better one. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem like it will work for her.

She said: "He’ll be more disappointed in me for making a fuss over it when, in his eyes, it fits, and there’s nothing actually wrong with it rather than being disappointed that I’m not truly happy with it. Someone at work apparently told him that 'if she makes it all about the ring, then she’s not the girl for you'."

8 She just can't get over it.

With the situation that she is in, she doesn't feel like she can win. If she was smart she would have just accepted the ring and focused on the fact that he loves her enough to want to marry her. She could have easily gotten the wedding ring she really wants in order to make up for the lackluster engagement ring.

She continued: "Ideally I would have loved for us to have chosen a ring together and made a special day finding one we both liked. As it’s something I’ll be wearing every day and is such a special piece of jewelry I wanted to really love it, and I just don’t. Has anyone else been in this situation? What did you do?"

9 The users begin to sound off.

As you might have expected, the Mumsnet users quickly jumped on the post to condemn the woman for being so materialistic.

One user said: "If you’d said you didn’t like the style I’d have been fairly sympathetic. But if it’s simply not big and flashy enough… It sounds like you’re more interested in showing off the ring than you are in him."

That user is completely on point in their argument. The woman did, however, have some supporters including this user who said: "You will get flamed for this, and people will call you grabby, but I can see where you are coming from – not the cost per se but the fact [that you] will be wearing it every day, and [you] are not totally in love with it. I can see both viewpoints."

So how do you feel about the woman's argument? Do you think she is right or wrong? Is she just being too materialistic? Let us know.
