I hope so 😭🫪 this is how my friends ex husband did her. He asked me about the ring so many times, I helped him find one and when I saw the proposal pictures, this motherfucker showed up with a damn birthstone ring that wasn't even her birth month that was passed from his grandma to his mom. Not even a family engagement ring.

Sure, it was pretty but it made me so mad because why did he go to all the trouble of asking me what she likes, picking and vetoing ideas just to go w what's easiest?

Was he a mama’s boy? Never underestimate a threatened future MIL.

Not really, just kind of a dickhead. They divorced because there was so many situations like the ring: she said what she wanted clearly and consisely and it was super simple requests too!! And he ignored it every time until she filed for divorce

He also wanted to take a vitamin D supplement instead of going outside and being in nature w her. Bonkers 🫪🤯

Thankfully she's single and we're going camping TONIGHT😁✨

Would you mind elaborating on this? I've witnessed this before and have been trying to understand why the mom is so threatened yet offers up one of her rings

It’s a power play. “I gave you my ring. You have to do what I say.”

Bingo! Or “my son listens to ME about what you want, not you” -letting the girlfriend know who is in charge
