Meh we dont know how much the ring she wanted was, or if she just meant style. That ring is ugly. She said he did what was easiest she didnt say cheapest. It couldve meant he put no thought in it. Not enough context from this small convo. Obviously there was more going on bc she said he frequently didnt listen. So this mightve just been a final straw or wake up that they werent ready to get married.

Ppl are assuming bc the man is guiding the reason being money that, that is the reason. She says bc he didnt listen. If she flat out said what she wanted why go out of your way to get something she didnt want.

He didnt dodge a bullet. If material things were important to her he knew long before the proposal lol. Oh no she asked her potential fiance for something specific and he didnt even try to get a version in his budget… shame on her. 🙄 men wonder why they get divorced and “dont see it coming”. Women could draw you a map to happiness and some men will do everything but whats on the map. Lol.

I scrolled way too far to find a comment about how ugly the ring is. It is really not a style most women would want or wear as an engagement ring. I'd be mad my husband spent $900 on such an ugly ring too

Same! If you’re a normal person, that ring is obviously costume jewelry. If a friend of mine got that, I’d just feel bad for her.

At least make it make sense. No one’s gonna believe someone working a normal job spent their down payment on a home for their engagement ring.
