Hopefully you took that diamond ring back. I hate to say but you deserved it. Why would you give your girlfriend a diamond ring when you're not even getting married? You could've instead purposed but you just gave it away.

Well, breaking up with you is harsh, but I agree with her: it wasn't a good decision. There are lots of other things you could do with that money that would be much more useful than buying such an expensive ring.
Agree, my wedding day was that amount. My engagement ring cost $800, its simple but perfect.
Breaking up with you was a bit of an overreaction, but I'm sorry to say I agree with her. Not every person is going to like extravagant material things. If my bf ever bought me such an pricey gift, I'd be kind of disappointed because I look at a expensive ring and think, "why is this little rock and piece of metal worth this much? The money could have went to better things, like savings for a house, emergency funds, or something more important." Unless this is sudden, you should probably know your gf well enough to know she isn't the type of girl to like such a gift.

horrible at making good decision... talking about the kind and style of the ring you chose or talking about the use of money?
Who the **** spends $6000 on a ring
Not sure what she was referring to exactly, but that money coulda gone to better places. Nowadays gold diggers and 50's wannabees are pretty much the only ones who would want 6k sitting on their finger, losing value each day. It's definitely a waste, but good on you for the sweet gesture. Sorry it turned out this way.
**** everyone who says it was a bad decision. It's your money that you saved, do with it what you want. Sure, there are other things it could've gone to, but you decided to give a special and rare gift to someone you loved, who then overreacted. FYL, op

Thank goodness! I thought I was the only one who thought it was a nice gesture. It's not like Op said they got paid and blew it all on a ring, he/she saved up for years to buy it, so presumably their day-to-day bills have been taken care of and it was just a nice gesture for some they cared about. There are a lot of things people spend their extra money on that I think are stupid, but if they have the money for it , through saving or bonus money, and their bills are paid, then I don't think there is anything wrong with blowing their wad on ridiculous stuff if it make them happy. Now if she was not into jewelry or something then it would imply that Op doesn't know their significant other very well but the long term planning on this gift is sweet all by itself.
I agree with the above. I'm curious - does this also have to do with you deciding on a general ring rather than an engagement ring? Maybe she wants to marry him, and this doesn't just have to do with the financial decision. If you spent years saving up for this ring on an anniversary, it sounds like you'll want to save a lot longer than that for whatever marrying her entails, if you want to marry her at all. If there's a deeper conflict, I'd bet on that.
Six thousand dollars? How many months of rent is that? I'm sorry to hear she broke up with you but I have to agree with her argument.
