This woman had the courage to say she didn’t like her engagement ring
When you are engaged, there is a possibility that you don't like the ring your partner selected but you are unable to tell them that as it may hurt their feelings. However, one woman shared on TikTok how she told her now-husband that the ring was not her style. Some people thought that she was in wrong for not liking the ring in the first place.
The TikTok user, @beefinagain, explained in the video posted on March 24 that everyone who she had a close relationship with was aware that she wanted a halo (ring). So after her proposal, a lot of people were shocked when she had a ring that was a different style. She recalled that her mother was specifically taken aback and questioned her about how she was feeling.
Bee answered that she was very thrilled and was so happy to get married, but she couldn't lie when her mom asked if she liked the ring. Bee confessed that she started crying her eyes out. She told her mother that she hated the ring and didn't know what to do. The ring was nothing like what she wanted. It didn't have a halo around it.
Her mom tried to calm her down and gave her the idea of upgrading the ring for her fifth anniversary. The TikToker agreed to her mother’s advice. She swore not to say anything and just shut her mouth for that time. Although, when she went back to school that Monday, it was hard to keep her promise.
Everybody at school congratulated her and asked if it was everything she wanted. Even they wanted to know if she liked her ring. Answering those questions made her feel uncomfortable so she lied. She said that she loved the ring and found it very beautiful. Whenever she was done answering those questions, she would proceed to go to her room and cry.
After about a week of receiving the good wishes, Bee was over it. Despite her mother's good advice, she felt like she should be honest with her to-be-husband. She texted that they needed to talk that weekend. When it was time for the big conversation, she tried to break it to him gently.
She told him that she loved him a lot and appreciated the efforts he put into selecting the ring, but she had to be honest and transparent with him. She finally revealed to him that she didn't like the ring. It was not how she wanted and after a week of people asking her about it, it had been tough to pretend to like it.
She noted that his response was very nice. He told her that it was not a big issue and she could exchange the ring. Bee was shaking. The two went out shopping together and Bee was finally able to choose the ring she had wished for. She wrote in the video’s caption that her husband took it so well.
However, people in the comments section were not okay with what had happened. One said that it seemed like the ring was more important than the guy. Another said that she couldn't imagine telling her partner that she hated the ring he chose for her. She said she would acknowledge his efforts and wear it proudly. Some people took Bee’s side. They praised the couple’s mature relationship. Bee, at last, said that the ring costs thousands of dollars, and if it was a style that didn't suit her, she would rather not wear it and let her husband know so he doesn't waste his money.
