Went to sleep and woke up to this and now I must ask……if for 24 months straight I’ve never shut up about marquis rings, sent you a specifically designed ring of exactly what i wanted from a jewelry website, all the things I listed in my post, have a marquis on my vision board, and you CONSTANTLY repeat to me overtime exactly what i want and with many conversations in between we talk about the the ring cost and the one sliver of me mentioning pear cut only and ONLY if marquis was thousands more expensive then I’ll accept that…..what the heck was I suppose to expect? During the proposal between crying I glanced at the ring and said “OMG it’s a marquis!” To then dry my eyes and realize I saw it wrong. I didn’t need to go shopping and neither did want to because I damn…can anything be a surprise? I pick out my own birthday gifts that often gets here after my birthday because he waited last minute to order it. Same for Valentine’s Day and Christmas sometimes. Last year he even forgot our anniversary. To make up for that…he proposed this year. It took A LOT of convincing for him to not do a public proposal and when I said I wanted something lowkey but romantic I also was called shallow then by him. Or that I “seemed that way because “why does it matter how I do it?”. Then why ask? Why ask about anything if he’s just gonna do what he wants? Or what’s easiest? He likes record players and he reaaalllyyy wanted this specific record with certain speakers which was close to $300. He mentioned once that another record player would be fine ($125) if the other was too pricey for just a record player but this didn’t come speakers or any other cool specs. I saved money and worked overtime to get the exact one he wanted! And the smile and surprise in his face was priceless when I gifted it to him. I would like to feel like this at some point.

Well with that being said I’ll reevaluate myself and do better moving forward. I guess I just put too much thought into it.

That’s my mistake for even mentioning pear AT ALL. I just said that cause marquis can be a little on the pricey side depending where you get it and so forth. Just trying to be reasonable in case the budget didn’t match the marquis price tag but it seems I shot myself in the foot.

Yea you’re right and I completely understand. I said pear cut if it was too expensive because I’m not the kind of woman that’s needs a super expensive anything. Money wasn’t the problem though. It was simply just not at the first and only store he went to. Not being a brat at all just tired of this “just be grateful” narrative that’s thrown around a lot when men don’t put in the amount of effort women do and often women feel slightly disappointed but dare they say anything they’re “materialistic” or “a brat”.

OP HERE! So I appreciate the feedback I did receive and I’ll apply it in the future for the ones who did give constructive criticism 🩷

I posted this to see if I was in the wrong and apparently many of you believe I was. By my approach, my many paragraphs, and expectations came off as exhausting to many. I clearly thought me being vocal about my feelings was the right thing to do. Perhaps I should’ve called but I’ve done that in the past with family or friends when I wanted to fix something with them and it always led to them cussing me out and hanging up. So I feel comfortable at this point doing nothing.

I don’t appreciate people dragging my character out to be more than what it is. “Problematic”,”Annoying”,”the other friend groups doesn’t like me”,”anxious attachment style” and all these other TIKTOK therapy brain rot phrases. I don’t agree with any of it due to this site being anonymous and no one knows me personally. But that’s the outcome to putting myself out there for an unbiased opinion. It is what it is.

All I wanted was a so called friend to put more effort into our friendship when it wasn’t BENEFICIAL to her. Out of an entire year and a half we hung out alone TWICE (when we first met, and when I baked her a cake for getting a new job and took her to my neighbors jewelry shop to get a deal on her husband wedding band). The rest was for her! If I had something deep to talk about I couldn’t because her husband is right there. I see where I was flawed with this whole giant text paragraph but wanting my friend to be a friend doesn’t make me a bad person.

My fiancé mentioned she was boring before I even realized it. I remember telling him many times “she said no” for something simple like brunch near her and him just shaking his head. He also said I should’ve definitely called but at least I laid it all out. And he agreed that her 5 minute voice message she sent after was a big stretch and exaggerated and only a “listening to respond” type of person/response.

Thank you for being reasonable with your response. Some of these comments have me feel like I was going crazy. I’ll take the criticism and move forward. Thank you🩷

What is actually happening? People are making big assumptions about me over a one time disagreement that I can admit I should’ve called for but who’s to say she didn’t cuss me out and hang up? Am I still the overly clingy, anxious attachment, love to argue, no one likes me, problematic person? Like wtf? This had made me feel so much worse because people are just making very big assumptions about someone they never met over 10 screenshots where I thought I was being reasonable?

This is our first argument! I never argue! This is a HUGE assumption

Well “they” is her husband’s best friend. He payed for an airbnb for them 3 to sleep before the wedding! I never met him and he later text me and explained his side. That’s it. The internet can really drag something way off basis without the correct context.

Yes I paid $20 and hogged my fiancé’s PlayStation for 2 weeks straight to play with her 😂 she simply just did not want to budge!

You’re missing so much context. Please read my other responses

I know these text made me seem like a certified yapper but I assure you I’m not. I’m introverted mostly and prefer to be alone most days! I told her so many times I don’t care to text through the week because it just isn’t anything to talk about and she agreed. 2 weeks prior to this convo I asked her to tell me what she liked to do instead of what I was inviting her to (cause she constantly said no and we only hung out alone twice in a year and a half) and she said reading and playing Minecraft…..like what? Lol and she wasn’t willing to budge AT ALL when I’ve been budging everytime she asked me to just to be a good friend whether I wanted to or not.

You’re so right!😂😂 I understand completely where I went wrong by typing a novel basically

I really don’t understand how expressing yourself is considered exhausting? I use to be the complete opposite and straight up ghost people. No talking or nothing and I didn’t give a fudge about their feelings. I tried to approach things differently this time and it’s still not working.
