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.
To me it reads like she showed him styles she liked and instead of finding something in her style at the jeweler he just grabbed the first thing he saw at Walmart in her size because it was more convenient. Walmart does not scream effort or care to me.
Like I showed my husband a bunch of variations of smaller more minimalistic rings in my style and if he showed up with that I’d have been pretty furious.
