If there’s one thing we’ve learned from rage on the internet, it’s that it’s not a wise idea to publicly trash your engagement ring.

People don’t look fondly on that. Or on bridezillas.

So we’re not surprised that when an unidentified woman complained about her ring on Facebook, screenshots were taken and shared on Reddit, where she was roundly slammed for being ungrateful.

In the original Facebook post, the woman shared images of the ring, writing: ‘My boyfriend finally asked me to marry him and this is really what he gives me…


The woman does say that after a few days wearing the ring she’s become used to it, but that she still wishes she had something different.

That’s despite the fact that the ring belonged to her other half’s grandmother, so it has some emotional significance.


As we mentioned, the reaction on Reddit was… not good.

One Redditor wrote: ‘Hope that guy takes the ring back and runs.’ Another called her ‘trashy’.

She did get some support though. A few Redditors say the guy is partly to blame for the shaming as he made a poor choice in the ring.

‘It’s partly his fault for not gauging her reaction and her wants,’ reads one comment. ‘An engagement ring is something they will have for a while and it’s important to actually know what kind of style your future wife would want.’

A fair point, we reckon.

So, let’s discuss. Is this woman in the wrong for slamming her ring in a Facebook group? Or is it reasonable to ask for a ring you truly love wearing?
