Sounds like she is a materialistic snot. She should be happy with what she gets and learn to accept it. If this is unable to happen, you should probably be with someone else. Just my pov, that if she is like this now, imagine what she is going to be like during the marriage. Chances are she'll be expecting a $10 000 brand name purse and if you don't get it, it'll be the end of the world. >.< OP, you should probably talk to her about the situation.

Woahhh, everyone on this site is so quick to encourage couples to break up. Makes me wonder... After 5 years together, I would not advise 'dump the bitch' as your go-to response. That's a hell of a lot of time invested, and they were obviously together that long for a reason. Yes, her response sucks, but how about talking things over before the immediate 'break up' solution? Far out.

she's an asshole and maybe you need to reevaluate your relationship. if she's that intense over something as simple as a ring what's going to happen after you get married? my boyfriend ring shopped by himself and picked my ring out by himself. is it something I would have picked, probably not. it's not really classified as an engagement ring, but I absolutely love it bc he picked it himself, the stone is green (favorite color) who wouldn't be happy to get something that was carefully thought out and resulting in wanting to marry you in the end. superficial. geez.

The **** doesn't deserve you

The **** doesn't dense you

#41 - #28 wasn't saying that rings need to be big and fancy. She was saying that people who want to propose should keep in mind their partners personal taste and preference before choosing a ring because their partner is the one who is going to have to wear it. So if your partner doesn't like gold then don't buy a gold ring. If they don't like big "blingy" jewellery then don't buy them a ring like that. The jewellery that they do wear is usually a good indication of what they like. Yes, a person should be happy with being proposed to and receiving a ring at all but the person they're with should at least put some effort into getting a ring they'd like. However, OPs girlfriend completely overreacted here and I'm not excusing her actions

Dodged a bullet there. You can do better.

Thanks stargirl for trying to defend me. I'm hoping enough people can relate to getting something that is not their taste. I've once bought my BF an Invicta watch to add to his collection. He acted thankful and did a great job pretending all because I tried to do something nice but it sits in its box only worn twice. I wouldn't demand him to wear it everyday because "Dammit he needs to be grateful!" Price doesn't have to be the factor here. It's personal preference to jewelry. Not everyone likes the same things. Now, you all, remember to wear that knitted sweater that grandma made from love, and not just on days she can see you in it! :P

I can see her not actually liking the ring, but she could've brought it up nicely, and not in the moment of the proposal but maybe a bit later or the next day. Then they could have gone to exchange it for a model that she likes better. I'm honestly happy that I live in a country where a ring proposal is not the norm. Yes I'm female. And married. But the wedding rings were picked together, so we both like the style.

some people dont appreciate what they got. Inconsiderate much.
