Woman Finds A Ring In Her Boyfriend’s Nightstand, Posts It To A Ring-Shaming Group

ADVERTISEMENT

Read any article or book on marriage, and most will tell you that a good marriage isn’t about the wedding, the honeymoon or the diamond rings, but not everyone shares the same values – enter wedding ring shaming groups. This popular embarrassment phenomenon has spread across the internet, where women get to air their ‘grievances’ of not getting the engagement ring they feel they deserve or wanted. Well, recently one woman did just that about her cheap engagement ring (mind you that it is actually not inexpensive at all) but was not met with the response she expected.

The anonymous shamer shared the post on her diamond wedding ring in a shaming group on Facebook, which ended up spreading to Reddit. Instead of finding people to ‘roast’ her boyfriend with for his gold wedding ring choice, she was met with appropriate backlash, doubting that she deserved the marriage proposal in the first place. Scroll down below to read her post and see how people responded.

    when I proposed to my wife, I was skint, I bought a ring for £15, but it wasn't the size or the cost of the ring that mattered I just felt that I needed that part of the proposal to do it properly. Spoiler: she said yes. In time I got a pay rise, things improved for me and I went out an bought a more expensive ring to replace the original one. She didn't ask me to, she didn't need me to, I just wanted to do it. couple of years later we got married, and next year is our 10 year wedding anniversary. we don't have much, but in a way, because we love each other, we have everything.

    My engagement ring cost £50 coz we were both broke but we've been together for 25 years. This new attitude of ring shaming is truly disgusting. Anyone who does this, and feels this way about something that a loving partner has bought for them, doesn't deserve to be with anyone. They deserve to spend their selfish nasty little lives alone, with a very large, cold, shiny rock to keep them company as they grow old.

    I don't think this is a new attitude. We're just at a place, technologically speaking, where there are forums for it. As long as engagement rings have been a thing (and DeBeers dictating how much they should cost) I'm sure there have been girlfriends that get together to trash their engagement rings (or mothers of). It's a s****y attitude for sure, but probably not new.
