Maybe you should just be thankful for him taking the time to make you something special. If your that materialistic he's better off without you.

You sound pretty stuck up, it's the thought that counts you know!

Don't ream the girl out, she posted as "NoRingForMe", so I think what she was upset about most was that she was expecting a proposal and when she got earrings instead, it was a huge let down. Yes, it's a bit suspect that she added the "$15" part to the earrings, but she could have just added that without it really meaning anything in her state of disappointment after not getting the proposal she wanted. She isn't necessarily materialistic.

That's just mean and harsh. At least he got you something..

At least he got you something, don't be ungrateful

Eh, I feel bad for OP, but at least your boyfriend bought you earrings... My boyfriend hates spending money, so he never buys me anything. He even makes me pay him back when he helps me buy things. I buy him things all the time, but i still don't get much in return. And no, it isn't because he doesnt have much money, his family is rich compared to mine. But point is OP, be grateful he at least bought you something.

Your fault for assuming and getting all hysterical about it. I don't think it matters what you were expecting, you shouldn't have gotten all worked up until you knew for sure.

While I can see why everyone's calling OP ungrateful, how do you know she didn't like the gift? Yes, I'm sure she was disappointed because she expected to find a ring, but that doesn't mean she didn't appreciate the gift itself. What her boyfriend got her could have been a great gift had he not put it in a Tiffany's box.

To all the people who aren't getting why this is a problem: Buying $15 earrings: okay. Buying $15 earrings and then making her think it was an engagement ring: not okay. Like other people have been saying, would you call the boyfriend materialistic or shallow if OP gave him a cheap gift in an Xbox box and he got upset?

He was right
