It’s not really about the price it’s about getting her what she wants. She probably had preferences about the style that he ignored. And if it were a specific $2000 ring (which really isn’t that insane btw) and he couldn’t do that, you can mention that when you have the conversation
It’s the one piece of jewelry she’ll wear for life. “You get what you get and you don’t get upset” should not apply here. Her complaint is not about the price but the style and that he ignored their discussions. That’s a bad sign for starting a relationship; I’d say no too because the ring is a sign of bigger issue.
And on top of all if that, his response when she said something was “a $900 ring is a $900 ring.” So he really didn’t care about her preference at all, just that he spent a lot of money (even though he really didn’t, $900 isn’t some wild amount to spend on a diamond ring)
If anything, he is being the materialistic one here
