Better doesn't mean more expensive. Almost every girl has jewelry taste some like gold some like silver, he could have been way off. You can find REALLY nice vintage rings on etsy for $300-$500

The fml says that she was expecting something better. To me, that implies more expensive or bigger. Either way, if she really, really didn't like the ring, she could have at least talked to him about it instead of bitching about it on Facebook. At least then they could try to, hopefully, reach a compromise and find something they are both happy with. I would think that if she really loved him, it wouldn't matter what it looked like and she would just be happy that she would be spending the rest of her life with him.

my ring was $50, and I love it because my husband knew my love for vintage jewelry and hunted for the rightnone in pawn shops and flea markets. the stone is super small, and it is perfect for me.

#154 no better doesn't mean more expensive or bigger, it means just that better. Like #177 said her Ring was $50 the price REALLY doesn't matter, it's the style that does matter. No girl is going to want to wear a ring she thinks is ugly for the rest of her life. A mature girl would talk to her boyfriend about it. This girl was obviously not mature about it. It was ****** up how she reacted, but there's a lot of Info we are missing, and it's a big jump to assume she wanted something bigger and more expensive. OP could have been more observant to the style of jewelry and rings she likes, or OP could have done great and his girlfriend is just a tool.

In no way does OP deserve this, whether he's filthy rich or dirt poor. If this girl truly loved OP, she'd be happy about it instead of being a gold digging bitch complaining on Facebook. It's really pathetic of you to think how much the ring costs determines if OP deserves it or not. Materialistic much?

20, I completely agree with you in every way, shape, and form. But, 16 said that if OP was some "rich cheap guy", then he deserved it. I somewhat agree with that part. If I could imagine having all the money in the world, I would want to spoil my future wife with a very nice ring. If you have money and still get a dinky wedding ring at Macy's, then maybe they deserve it. That's all I'm saying. But in all reality, OP's girlfriend is an unbelievable asshole

I completely agree with you 20, the cost of the ring should not come into play no matter how rich or poor you are. I know that for me personally, I have seen a lot of "cheaper" rings that I much prefer over others I have seen that cost thousands upon thousands of dollars. I believe that we are allowed to be a little picky about a ring we are going to wear for the rest of our lives. But this bitch should have talked about that privately with OP, not go behind his back the way she did.

#270 I agree. If the ring was ugly and just not her style, I understand why she'd be upset. But from the FML, I read it that the girl thought the ring was cheap and wanted it to be bigger and better. No matter the case, she never had the right to bitch about it on Facebook.

unfortunately, OPs girlfriend cares. OP may choose to reevaluate the relationship in light of this.

I agree. my husband and I chose simple rings. I don't even have a diamond. 0 f*cks given. lol
