Reddit's Response To OP Who Winced At His GF Of 4 Years' $14K Engagement Ring Request
Wedding is an important life event, but people choose to organize it in many different ways. Some people want to make it simple and cozy, while others love to make it so big to remind them of a changing moment in their lives. And, of course, when someone is very much into the marriage idea, they become ambitious and not likely to ease their wedding requirements. The woman in this story is an example.
According to her fiance, user @explicado, she made a perfect planed for her wedding, including a big party with delicious food and drinks, an expensive engagement ring, and another one for their marriage. Because her sister (who was a lawyer) had received a $16K engagement ring from her wealthy husband, she also wanted a similar one at her engagement party. She asked OP for a $14K ring, but it really cost him an arm and a leg.
In response to his GF's request, OP, at 24, found that he couldn't afford such a ring, not to mention other expenses that came along after they got married. And of course, the GF was unhappy with his refusal.
OP is now wondering if he was wrong to wince at GF's request and that the GF who has been accompanying him for over 4 years deserves the ring. Readers, please give him some advice.
The majority of people agree that OP is not an a**hole for refusing to give his fiancee a $14K ring. Instead, they believe that the GF was wrong to make the requirement because it seemed like she just wanted to prove to everyone that she had a great BF without thinking of his feelings and trying to understand him.
