Woman humiliated her boyfriend by slamming her engagement ring online

Getting engaged is supposed to be one of the happiest moments of your life, right? Well, it turns out that not everyone is impressed by the idea – especially when they realize the ring isn’t quite up to their standards. Many people now talk about their displeasure online as they want to know they’re not alone. However, one woman was about to get criticized after her ring-shaming antics led many to wonder if she deserved her boyfriend’s engagement ring.

A perfect day

Weddings can often bring out all kinds of sides in people that we never knew we had. However, they’re not always the sides that we want to see. Many of us have dreams about our perfect wedding all the way down to the engagement ring that we want to see on our finger.

So what about when your partner isn’t entirely on the same page as your dreams? Things might be off to a rocky start.

Wedding shaming

Wedding shaming groups have become a hot topic on the internet as hundreds of people flood to social media pages to talk about how their wedding just isn’t going to plan or to call out someone planning a wedding who seems to have taken their role a little too far.

It’s often not long before many people give their opinions or share similar stories of their own. It might be the couple’s big day, but some find that hundreds if not thousands of other people are soon involved as everyone wants to chip in their ideas. It doesn’t stop there.

A new level of shaming

It turns out that many people have now started ring shaming. This is just as it sounds as people from across the world upload snaps of their rings as they want to let everyone know that things might not be that bad.

After all, they don’t have to wear a ring they don’t like for the rest of their lives. Believe it or not, but some pages have weekly uploads from people all wanting to shame their partner’s choice in rings. Not everyone is impressed with the effort, but one woman was about to push things to a whole new limit.

Finding the ring

The woman in question was snooping around in her boyfriend’s nightstand when she stumbled across something she never expected to find. It was an engagement ring. However, her reaction wasn’t what many people thought it would be. Some would be worried they had uncovered a secret their partner had been planning, while others would be excited at the thought they could soon find a ring on their finger.

The woman knew there was nothing left to do but upload her thoughts to social media in the hopes that someone would be able to help her out and save her before it was too late.

Asking for help

It appeared as though the woman was less than impressed with the ring. In fact, she said that it was “Self shame Friday” as she uploaded a snap of the ring. The woman was “Not a fan” of the ring, and now she wanted the internet to help her find a way to say “no” to her boyfriend’s engagement. She wanted the ring of her dreams – not this one.

That wasn’t all. As well as hoping to find some advice, the woman also wanted people to roast the ring to let her know that she wasn’t alone in her thoughts.

Sharing the post

Sadly, it appeared as though the internet was taken back by the woman’s response. She wanted help to get out of the engagement, but many wondered how the woman could be so harsh about the ring.

Although she has since deleted the post, many people shared it across the internet for the rest of the world to see. Now, everyone was giving their personal opinions, even if it wasn’t what the woman wanted to hear.

Splashing the cash

Many people knew that it was likely the man had spent a lot of money on the ring, and they were surprised to read that the woman was expecting something much grander for her proposal. Some people stated they would have been overjoyed with a ring like hers.

Others commented about how if they were correct, they knew the engagement ring could have cost well over $1000 and left the man out of pocket for the proposal.

The truth of the group

Others wondered why people were ring shaming in the first place. Many people use the groups to share their thoughts about the ring, but it seems some people want to know if the world thinks their ring is cutting it.

One commenter worried about the groups and what it said about the people who are members. It might not be long before one negative thought becomes something much bigger than it was meant to be.

Rings don’t matter

It wasn’t long before people started to talk about whether the woman was really in love with her boyfriend. Many admitted they would say “yes” to a large ring or no ring as long as there was someone they loved asking them for their hand in marriage.

Could worrying about the price and size of the ring show the woman had other ideas in her head other than the man she was supposed to love?

Similar stories

Some people started to share stories of their own and how they had worked around any issues with the engagement ring. One person confessed that even though they had spent a lot on the ring, it wasn’t up to their wife’s style.

Thankfully, they wrote about how their wife subtly told them they had no interest in the ring and would prefer another style. Perhaps the woman could have used some of the advice in her situation?

No ring in sight

Believe it or not, but it turns out that some people don’t have a ring for their engagement. Preparing to get married can mean many different things to different people, and it seemed as though one husband thought the moment was right.

There was no ring in sight. The woman confessed that it felt right in the moment, and she felt as though the woman was worried about the wrong things if she was concerned about the ring.

The wrong idea

Of course, it wasn’t long before many people believed the ring might not have even been for the woman in question. Some wondered if it was a family heirloom and how the man would feel when he learned that his partner disliked the style.

However, others thought the ring could have been for another important woman in the man’s life. One commenter believed it was for the woman’s sister as they apparently knew someone related to the woman.

Getting out quick

So what would happen if the woman said “yes” and the pair ran off into the sunset to get married? Although the woman would have a ring on her finger, hundreds of people across the internet would know how the woman really felt about the jewelry.

Many started to believe that the woman rejecting the engagement could be the best thing to happen for the relationship. Hopefully, the man could then use the ring for another love.

Choosing their own

It appears that some people have come up with the perfect plan to make sure that everyone is happy with the ring. One person wrote about how their husband had no idea what ring to choose, so decided that nothing was better than making the wrong decision.

However, he had a plan. All he needed to do was take his future wife to the jewelry store after popping the question so she could pick out her own engagement ring.

Offering advice

Many people were against the woman and her choice to shame the man’s ring. However, some commenters wanted to help. They wondered if the woman could accept the engagement, but ask for another ring to mark the moment.

Still, many couldn’t get past the elephant in the room. They felt as though the woman was so focused on the ring’s appearance and size that she might not be in a relationship for the right reasons.

To the internet

It turns out the woman isn’t the only one who has been caught shaming her engagement ring, but someone else didn’t know how they would feel about the piece until it was already on their finger. The woman took to the site Mumsnet to talk about her disappointment with the ring.

Sadly, it looked as though her opinions were about to divide the internet, as many people couldn’t believe what they were reading while others fully agreed.

Lost for words

The bride-to-be started her post by talking about the fact her partner had proposed with a ring that he had specially picked out from the jewelry store. Apparently, it was a white gold band with a diamond solitaire in the middle.

The woman confessed that she was “so happy and excited” to learn that her partner wanted to walk down the aisle, but that all changed when she saw the ring. Where was the rest of it?

Making a list

The woman confessed that the ring was just like the one that she would have chosen for herself as she loved the idea of having a diamond solitaire. The style wasn’t the issue. It was everything else. Apparently, the woman immediately thought the ring was “small” before she got a closer look.

Everything from the small stone to the color and the chunky shoulders to the color of the gold wasn’t up to her standards.

A low price

That wasn’t all. The woman continued to explain that her partner took home almost “a six-figure sum” every year and wondered why he had cut back on the cost of the ring. She felt as though her partner had cut financial corners with the ring.

In fact, the woman found the receipt and learned that he had spent £1,300 (approx. $1,600) on the ring. This was a lot less than the woman had in mind.

Leaving their mark

The woman continued to explain how her partner had a conversation with someone at his work, and it appeared it had made quite the impact. Apparently, someone had told him that if someone makes it all about the ring and not the engagement, then they might not be the person for them.

Could that really be true? The woman confessed that she would have rather chosen the ring together than been left disappointed with the jewelry.

Caught in a trap

The bride-to-be finished her post by asking if anyone else had been in a similar situation and how they had been able to come to an agreement. She worried that she wouldn’t be able to wear the ring every day as she was upset with everything about it.

It wasn’t long before people from across the internet flooded to the post to share their own thoughts on the ring and how the woman reacted to the proposal.

Connection over money

Most people worried about how the woman had reacted. They stated how it sounded as though the bride-to-be was more worried about how much her partner was willing to spend compared to the declaration of love he was making by asking for her hand in marriage.

One stated that “It doesn’t have to be about money” when it comes to rings. They felt it should be about having a deep connection with their partner instead.

On her side

It appeared that not everyone was against the woman and her upset about the ring. Some felt that it should have been the woman’s choice of ring as she is the one that will be wearing it every day for the rest of her life.

Others suggested the woman spoke to her partner about her feelings so they could go ring shopping together instead. Sadly, it was so much that the woman has since deleted her post.
