Woman Savages Fiancé After Finding Receipt For Her Engagement Ring

Getting married is supposed to be one of the most exciting things to happen in our lifetime, from the proposal right through to the honeymoon.

Despite the fact that the sanctity of marriage is supposed to be all about spending the rest of our lives with the person we love, people can often get bogged down with other matters like what food is served at the wedding reception or the size of the engagement ring.

In fact, one woman was clearly so caught up in the minor details that when she didn't like the engagement ring her fiancé bought her so took to MumsNet to publicly call him out instead of speaking to him.

The thread has since been deleted from MumsNet but not before it caught other users eye.

The anonymous user posted on the parenting forum expressing her disappointment with the ring.

She said: "DP (dear partner) 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'.

"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 colour of the gold, the setting, the small stone and relatively chunky shoulders.

"His salary is nearing a six-figure sum and he's usually very generous. Having seen the receipt I know he paid £1,300 for it - which is a lot less than I would have imagined he would have spent on such a significant piece of jewelry.

"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'.

"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 jewellery I wanted to really love it and I just don't.

"Has anyone else been in this situation? What did you do?"

The post seemed to divide people with some utterly shocked by her rant, one person said: "Talk about being ungrateful."

Another person wrote: "I think you sound grabby. Why is it about the size of the diamond? He's making a commitment to you. It doesn't have to be about money or 'flashiness.'"

However others were more understanding with one person commenting: "There's no way on Earth I'd allow someone else [to] choose a piece of jewellery for me that I'd potentially be wearing for decades. I wouldn't even let my partner choose this year's winter coat."

A second person said: "You are the person who will be wearing the ring and having to look at it all day every day. The cost is not as much of a factor but you must be happy with the look of the ring. Just tell him you are not keen on the setting and you would prefer to choose another ring together."
