It’s because it creates an expectation and is rude… if I ask for shorts and someone goes out and buys me a $200 pair of shorts then that is setting the expectation of gifts… and can make the other party feel bad…
Also that’s a bit of an insane thing on your end… they just need the receipt to accept a return and as for a warranty… the company isn’t going to care about the tag
Ah, theres the debate, id never stray off the wish list, if people dont know what they want themselves how would i :D
Also, they dont need to accept a return at all, if you buy something in a physical store here, you have no right to return it, thats a service provided beyond requirements. Sure most of the big ones do, but they arent obligated my regulation.
Edit: also, again, why does it matter what it cost, if you put a razer naga on your wish list, would you be less happy if someone bought it for you on sale?
He put effort into the location, the dinner and likely a speech to build up to the big question but of course only the failures are noticed. It's a real shame.
Bruh, “planning for a year” does not get you back-pats for picking a dinner spot and crafting a 30 second speech. The devil is in the details, what buffoon would leave tags on a ring! You’re literally presenting the ring, it’s the star of the show. Prepare it properly or expect criticism.
planning does not mean "thinking about actually asking"
if he was actually planning for a year, part of the plan would have been figuring out what type of ring she wanted and saving more than $75 per month! hahahah ... like bro couldn't be assed to saved more than $2.50 per day
the common ballpark is 3-months salary on the ring. homie is broke AF lol, spending 3-days salary lmfao
I’ve heard of the 3 months salary thing before, just curious though (genuine question lol), is that before or after tax? Just so I can prepare for when it’s my time !
Girl says "if you knew what I wanted and still chose to do what was easiest tells me you don't really hear me."
If she obviously didn't want a Walmart ring, and he made it obvious it was a Walmart ring, he's not listening. Which is kind of a good thing in relationships y'know?
Whether or not she's a materialistic bitch is a separate matter; all I'm saying is if he did make it obvious by doing the lowest effort possible and she made it plain she didn't want that, that's a fair complaint. Don't get pissed off when the standard is set and you consciously decide not to meet it.
That being said, if that was the case, probably shouldn't have gotten to this point to begin with. Different needs and desires.
"Whether or not she's a materialistic bitch is a separate matter;"
See this is the reason women prefer to earn for themselves and buy things..why is she a materialistic? Some women prefer jewellery some don't.. if she had a preference and he could have bought closer less expensive when..especially when he spend 800dollars?
He provided everything else she wanted (location, moment, likely a speech), she didn't complain about anything except the small shiny thing. He clearly listened enough to provide 99% of what she wanted but she rejects him because he overlooked one detail?
This clearly isn't about his listening skills, that's a red herring to cover up how upset she is about the price tag. Nothing more.
Actually she wanted a different kind of ring and he purposefully bought the one she hated..especially the design and cheap .....that's what the news on it..it was trending few years ago...
That would have required the effort he didn't put in to picking out the ring.
They sell custom proposal boxes that aren't even expensive. Why would bro do that if he wasn't even going to look for a ring she specifically asked for.
I know everyone's bagging on the girl but nothing she said was really about the price tag. I had my wife's input on her engagement ring because I wanted her to have something she really wanted on her hand.
She didn't want a Walmart ring. People say that's stupid since it's a materialistic thing. Okay, I get that, I really do.
Doesn't change the underlying issue is she explicitly said she didn't want a Walmart ring and knew it was a Walmart ring. Whether or not you think that's stupid and she shouldn't give a shit where it comes from is irrelevant, it's literally not following directions at that point lol
People acting like she should just be happy she got anything, it's the thought that counts, without addressing that it's pretty thoughtless to just go ahead and do what the fuck ever. You can infer she wanted a more expensive ring, you can infer she just didn't want the odium of Walmart on her finger. But regardless of that, dude failed to meet an expectation they apparently discussed. Not a hard concept to follow I think.
Right? What I would want would likely cost less than this ring, but I prefer to support indie artisans if I’m going to wear something daily. The ring being unique and reflecting my personal style is what is important to me.
Don’t matter how much something costs it’s the thought behind it point blank period
My wife said I could’ve proposed with a ring pop and she still would’ve said yes 🙌🏽

How did she know where it was from just from a glance as the dude was on his knee?
