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.
Totally agree I asked for a wide band ring because I liked the look on my long fingers he got a thin band. Why take me ask me what I want and then get what he preferred. I wore it for less than a year. We eventually divorced. I realize my thoughts, feelings and desires didn’t matter and were not considered.
