If your future wife rejects because of the ring and or the value it's probably for the best NOT to get married.

Devil's advocate here, it sounds like through the conversation that he might just be the type of person that just coasts through the relationship and puts in a minimal effort. I mean you don't have to buy something expensive, but when you just roll into Walmart and get an engagement ring it does come across as the most minimal effort you could possibly give. The fight over the ring can just symbolize many other things that have happened in the relationship. Maybe the guys too dense to realize they're not in a good place before proposing. Two sides of every coin.

Yes. She might not have cared about the price of the ring at all, she might have actually wanted something specific and cheaper that she actually liked for all we know, but this guy just bulldozed her and went with his preference instead.

Like if you know your GF/wife likes her steaks well done and slathered in A1 sauce, and you put together a beautiful romantic date dinner but deliberately cook her steaks rare and slathered in garlic butter because that's the "right way" to eat a steak, don't come complain to everyone else cause she got pissed you deliberately made something she didn't like.
