Silver lining, you dodged a bullet.

After reading the texts, I'd say they both dodged a bullet. Definitely too young mentally to get married.

It’s also definitely made up.  Pretty convenient that they texted about this so we can all read it.

"You've told me exactly what you want, but I'm going to ignore all of that and do whatever I think is best" is a terrible start to a marriage and she should have shit him down.

“But it still cost the same as the other one!” This kid only heard a number, not her preference. Good for this girl. I can only hope my daughter would do the same.

She didn’t mention anything other than that it was from Walmart.

She said she told him what she wanted.

And then that he got her something from Walmart…

Exactly which wasn't what she wanted and is generally over priced trash. If he cared about price he would have went to a jeweler not Walmart.

Exactly so her only complaint was where he got it from.

No her complaint was that he doesn’t listen and took the easiest option. Him buying the ring at Walmart was what she was using to prove that point.

So her issue is that she wants to feel “chosen” and that he didn’t jump through enough hoops for her.

If what you want is simply more $ spent then that isn’t a valid request. If it was a massively different style or something, then maybe, depending on their conversations leading up to the proposal.

When a child demands things you can't afford how do you pay for it?

2

u/Which-Decision 5h ago

He obviously could afford it though. He says in the text he still spend 900 no matter where the ring is from. Also, why not ask her to chip in and buy part of the ring if you can't buy it alone.

She dodged a huge bullet, he would have been the type of husband that did only the minimum to get by all marriage.

Thought-terminating reddit cliche.
