Choosing an engagement ring can be very daunting as you can’t be sure whether your partner will like it or not.
But one woman was slammed on social media after she revealed that she ‘hated’ the engagement ring her partner purchased for her with his hard-earned cash.
In the video she shared on TikTok, the woman said: “I’m probably gonna get a lot of hate for this and honestly, I’m okay with that.”
“I’m aware that I’m a lot and Patrick’s aware that I’m a lot, and here we are four years later, so it’s fine,” she continued.
“Patrick and I dated for like a good bit of time and the whole time we dated I was like, in the marriage headspace and I was like, ‘Pat, I want a ring with a halo’.
“I want the little diamonds around the main ring. That’s what I want.
“I kept emphasising. I was like, ‘I don’t care about the size of the diamond. I don’t care. I don’t care about clarity or cut. I literally don’t care. I just want a halo around a little inside diamond’.”
When Patrick finally popped the question, he forgot to ask any women in his family if he was getting the right ring. He then chose a princess cut diamond that was different from the one his partner wanted.
“He did not ask anyone. He did not ask my mum. He did not ask my best friend. He did not ask his sisters, his mum, no one, and the time comes and he proposed and it literally was a princess cut diamond with no halo,” she said.
“It was a beautiful diamond, but it’s just not what I wanted. And so after he proposed, I literally like went home and my mum asked if I liked the ring, and I bawled. I said, ‘No, I hate it so much and I have to wear it forever’.”
“My mum told me to give it five years. She said, ‘after like five years you can ask him to replace it’,” the woman continued.
“It lasted a week because literally when you’re engaged, everyone’s like, ‘is it the diamond you wanted? Like, is it perfect? Do you love the ring?’
“And every time I had to be like ‘yeah, oh my gosh, yeah.’ And then I would go and cry because it’s just not what I wanted.
“So after like a week I like called him and was like, ‘hey, this is gonna be a hard pill to swallow. I hate the ring. It’s just not what I wanted and I’m willing to wait for something that I do want, but I just need you to know that.’”
The woman said that her husband ended up spending twice as much money on her new ring.
“All’s well in the world, he was able to get a refund and like, swap it out. And it was fine. Then I made him pay double on the new ring because he took me to the store and I told him what I liked.
“So anyway, we’re still happily married and he still knows I’m very opinionated,” she added.
