I'd be taking my ring back.

Well she sounds like an ungrateful bitch.

Sorry about your girl. I wouldn't run from her just now like many people here suggest. I'd rather advise to stay engaged for at least a couple of years or at least until you fixed whats happening between you. When she's even built a lie including all her social contacts, excluding you it has to be a very important issue to her. Us readers don't know if it's just a girly girl wanting the wedding she always imagined or if she after his money. OP should find out. And - of course - let us know how it went :>

Look, FYL, but a rule of thumb for these things is 'a months pay and three months thought'. If the effort you put in didn't meet this standard then perhaps you should reconsider your position. Yes, she was a bitch, but the whole idea of a proposal is to make *her* feel like a princess.

Take the ring back and find a girl who won't be an ungrateful b****. It's your love and commitment that matters, not the carat size. If she's talking s*** about you and hiding it before you even start planning, what the h*** would she do if you were married?

That is so materialistic. I'm sorry for you Op. :( If my man would just pop the question already to me, I'd be so ecstatic that I'd accept a ring from a bubblegum machine if that is all he could afford. Lol...Point is, it shouldn't matter how much money you spend on the ring, if she truly loves you enough to spend your lives together, it should not have to matter how much money you spend on the ring. This is only the beginning. Beware of what you might be getting yourself into. I wish you the best Op. Not worth putting yourself in debt to but someone's love. FYL.

She should have been happy you proposed at all... And if she didn't like the ring simply asked if you'd take her to exchange it for one she really liked.

how rude. most people these days dont even consider marriage, and the ones that do know its WAY more than a ring or piece of paler. she made it crystal clear what she wants. you deserve better, OP.

What a bitch. She doesn't deserve you.

I hope she has apologised to you and was somehow able to explain her actions. But, she said yes and was happy to tell people, even if it was for the wrong reason.

Dump that bitch buddy. She's ungrateful

IDK, we're being awfully quick to make assumptions. Maybe the man busts his ass at work to pay the bills, bought a nice ring within his means the the girl is being a bitch over the sheer size of the rock. OR Maybe last month he bought himself a $2,000 gaming rig and is now trying to pass off a $50 cubic zirconium. I know if my boyfriend did the later to me or something like it, in my mind it would say he care's about his games more then me. The ring is a symbolic gesture, and it should be something you worked hard to afford as a show of your dedication and seriousness. Either way she was wrong to complain about it publicly on Facebook, that's a bitch move no matter what. I'm just saying we're unfairly assuming she's a materialist, shallow ***** without knowing the context. I mean she might be. But he also might have seriously half assed this. We don't know what went down.
