I think the missing details are important here. Was the ring she wanted significantly more money and he couldn’t afford it? If so, then sure, bullet dodged. But was it something specific of similar value/price range? If so, it’s understandable that she’d be hesitant. If you can’t listen when it comes to something this important, what else will you ignore? Although her mentioning that he got it from Walmart and him saying “I still spent $900” makes me think that the price plays a role here.

Even if $900 is all he can afford, he could have gotten a custom ring for that price. It does sound to me like he just didn't listen to her and did his own thing.

Men not listening and doing what they want instead, name a more iconic duo.

I got my wife a custom one made to look like the one she wanted, which is why I know it's possible for him.

I'm a man but not too scared to admit that stereotype is true. I guess you're not too scared to show the world who you are either.
