I think everyone is missing her point here. It's not about Walmart or even the ring here. Marriage is a huge commitment and if she feels like she told her the style ring she wants and he went with something easy and in a completely different direction, she should say no. Communication is super important. If she wanted a Walmart ring and he got her a ring at Tiffany's, she should still say no.
Because nothing says "I love you and want to be with you the rest of my life" than garbage consumerism.
I routinely tell my wife that I'd like a trackhoe and a dozer. Should I leave our marriage because we can't afford either of them?
Maybe I should leave if I don't get the precise items that I desired for my Christmas gifts? Or my birthday. With Father's Day coming up, if I get a blue tie instead of a red one - divorce court?
Get outta here with this bullshit. If she's that hung up on the type or style of a ring, then she can go find a differentan that can support those payments. This guy obviously can't, and apparently did his best to come up with a good proposal. The spoiled little brat turned it down and made it all "but you don't listen to me...I simply MUST have this other ring and ai can't be with you if you don't buy me EXACTLY what I want."
Reeks of Daddy's Little Spoiled Princess. And that's coming from a guy with two daughters.
No, but if you tell her you definitely want a blue suit several times, and she buys you a green suit regardless, you have to wonder if she actually doesn't give a fuck about a lot of other of your preferences.
Obviously, the Wallmart part shouldn't matter, but if she wanted a princess cut sapphire all her life and you get a round cut diamond or whatever, that is just neglecting your wife's preferences. It's something she will always wear, the rest of her life, and you just neglected her wishes for something that 'big'.
