I always dreamed of a fairytale proposal in a romantic setting, stunning ring....
Then one night, my boyfriend told me he bought me an engagement ring even saying how much he paid for it. I thought the price was a bit low for a diamond and was upset that he didn't get my input first, but he told me he loved the ring and was sure I'd love it too. I was also disappointed that the surprise was ruined, but I still couldn't wait for him to propose.
Part 2 A few weeks later, we were watching tv and he asked me to marry him, not even on one knee! I was so disappointed by the lack of romance and surprise but I said yes because I really want to marry him. When he slipped the ring on my finger, I couldn't help feeling even more depressed. The ring was so tiny and not what I would've chosen at all.
I don't want to sound materialistic, but I have to wear the ring for the rest of my life and I would've liked to pick it out. Instead of being a symbol of our love, it is a constant reminder of the disappointment I felt the night he proposed.
He has asked me if I like the ring and I've said yes because it is a pretty ring and I know he tried his best.and his budget was small, but I think I could've found a ring I liked better for the same amount. I love him so much and I really don't want to hurt his feelings, but I get so jealous of other women who have beautiful rings. I don't know if I should say anything or just be happy I have a ring and a wonderful fiance. Any advice?
