She didn’t like it, so don’t put a ring on it.
In a time when people are spending upwards of $20,000 to propose, one woman is complaining about her less than $1,000 Walmart engagement ring from her boyfriend, but not for the reason you’d expect.
Like many youngsters do nowadays, a woman named Priscilla took to threads (@prissyxoxo25) to share a screenshot of a text conversation with her would’ve been fiancé alongside a picture of the $898 ring he proposed with, to ask the question “What are y’all thoughts on this? I’m curious.”
Based on the screenshot, Priscilla turned her man down, leaving him confused and embarrassed. But it wasn’t so much the size, cut or price of the diamond he got her — the reasoning behind her decision was more about him not listening to her wants.
“I’ve told you the kind of ring I wanted more than once & you showed up with something from Walmart… Tyler, if you knew what I wanted & still chose to do what was easiest tells me you don’t really hear me. i want to feel chosen not just proposed to,” she texted.
You have to give credit where it’s due — she knows what she wants and is standing her ground.
The Post reached out to Priscilla for comment.
Some comments on the thread sided with the boyfriend.
“Girl………..what the FAWK is wrong with you??? Dam. I hate when I have to side with men.”
“Avoid any woman who cares more for the ring than the proposal.”
But plenty of others empathized with how Priscilla was feeling.
“No, she’s legit here. It’s not about the ring, it’s about listening.”
“I’m sorry, but my promise ring alone is $1,000 and it was exactly what I wanted a gold ring with diamonds wrapped all around it’s not about the price. So I get it, a man who truly LISTENS is the kind of man who’ll do exactly what you said and put in the work.”
And she’s not the only one rolling her eyes at a ring a man asked her to marry him with.
“Help — I hate my ring,” the anonymous future bride said on Facebook. “My fiancé blindsided me with a proposal. I am so grateful for the gesture, but I hate the ring.”
“I thought it would grow on me. I gave it a week. I get sad every time I look at it. It’s so not me,” she continued, sharing two snapshots of the jaw-dropping jewel. “The round shape, halo, the pave band. I would’ve chosen the total opposite.”
The frustrated fiancée complained that her man never asked her or even her friends the type of ring she’d want.
“I changed my nail shape from square to accommodate the design, thinking if I have round nails, I’ll like a round ring more. Didn’t work.”
