Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She asked if the ring was a temporary thing until I got a better one, saw my dumbfounded face, then played it off as a joke and said yes. I later found out she'd posted on Facebook bitching about the ring, but with the privacy setting set to hide it from me. FML

Some people are very particular about their rings but taking the issue to facebook is not cool.

You need to get a new girlfriend. She sounds like a bitch!

Bitching about the ring was wrong, and obviously the ring isn't important if you're marrying who you love. But guys need to realise that if someone buys you a ring that you really hate, and you have to wear it every day for the rest if your life, a girl probably won't be overly thrilled. You see your rings when you do anything with your hands, and it won't be a pleasant experience if you hate it. Having said that, she acted like a bitch and nobody wants to be around someone like that.

The farce is strong with this one.

Um, at least you found out now, instead of way later Stuck in a sad way of life

Wow, she sounds greedy and very ungrateful! I hope that you quickly changed your mind about marrying her!

I had to buy my own ring because my EX husband couldn't finance a cheeseburger. Why'd we finally get divorced? Money stress. It's a symbol alright. Break it off before it's too late.

Oh, I know what you mean. When discussing marriage, one of my exes actually had the balls to ask me to consider wearing one of my silver-plated copper rings as an engagement ring instead of him going out and getting a "real" ring, and I'm not a picky person. You can tell where that relationship ended up. At least OP got his girlfriend a ring. It's one thing to be upset about something that someone picks out and gives you free of charge, but when a guy refuses to buy one himself and deliberately puts it on you to buy it, there's a problem.

She isn't smart to bitchin about your ring on facebook... She doesn't deserve you OP

Personally, I don't necessarily think there's anything wrong with her not liking the ring. She has to wear it for the rest of her life, and if it's something that honestly does not suit her, I can understand why she might be concerned. I'm the kind of person who only wears silver coloured jewellery and I hate big diamonds. So if a partner presented me with a gold ring with a massive rock on it, I'd be happy that they made the effort but yeah, a little sad that they didn't know the style of jewellery I preferred by that point. It's a ring you'll be wearing every day for however long the marriage lasts, I would rather just get over the awkwardness of explaining that I prefer a different style rather than wearing something I dislike every day. However, that's not a reason to be ungrateful. She should have gently said that she appreciated the gesture but it wasn't her style of jewellery, then maybe accompanied him to exchange it for one she preferred instead of complaining about it in secret. If she wanted one that cost more than he'd paid, she could have paid the difference.
