Guy Asks If He Is A Jerk For Not Wanting To Get His GF An Expensive Engagement Ring

The one good ending of any love affair is a marriage. And for women, who would not want to receive a diamond ring from their men? That one ring holds so many meanings. It's love, commitment, promises, and more. And, when it's one piece of jewelry that you'll wear on your hand for quite some time, will you go for the cheap? Of course, it's up to each person's financial ability to choose a suitable ring, but this issue is not for one person only. People getting married should sit down and talk about this together.
The guy in the story below was getting married. And while his girlfriend was excited to get an expensive diamond ring, this guy had a different idea. He thought spending 6k+ on an engagement ring was too much, and he wanted to make it around 2k. His girlfriend didn't have a particular like on anything expensive, except that ring. And in his case, he was able to afford the ring she wanted, just thought it was not reasonable. So, they had arguments about this, and she finally gave up, saying that he could choose any ring he wanted. So, is he a jerk for doing that? Let's scroll down to read the full story below.
