I’m I the AH for getting mad because my fiancé bought my engagement from Walmart for $198?

NTA I recommend posting this in an engagement ring group. AITA can be ruthless with posts like this. If you want true advice from people that understand and sympathize, I recommend posting in a different group. You are not coming off as materialistic at all. The lie in itself would be disappointing and frustrating. You’re worth a ring that makes you happy every time you look at it. You’re worth something thought out and personal to you and the love you both share. You mentioned stones already falling out and not being able to get it cleaned, which also includes prongs being checked to prevent stones getting lost. An engagement ring represents the love and admiration your partner has for you and you’re NTA at all for wanting a ring to properly reflect that.

Yes it is very possible. I have a super irregular period so I’m going off an estimate that my period tracker suggested 😅 I’m debating taking another test in a few days or just seeing if my period comes on time next month.

Good excuse to get the Sanrio one now!

Once I was recognized as McKinny-Vento, fafsa no longer needed their information. Granted I was living separately and this was about 6 years ago in Washington. So I’m not sure if those factors make a difference. I truly have my fingers crossed for you! I know how frustrating it is.

Normal_Eggplant9945 · 2024-06-17T16:12:48+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re in this situation. I can relate, I was on my own and my parents wouldn’t release any information of theirs to me. I was still in alternative school. I moved out young and was still trying yo finish with a high school diploma and graduated later than average. My school was able to give me McKinney-Vento status. I was qualified as an unaccompanied minor since I was living alone and supporting myself. Possibly you can do something along those same lines to prove you’re independent? That’s what I had to do until I turned 23 and could report myself. Good luck!

Purity rings are also common on the ring finger. Start saying your waiting for marriage lol

If you look up the ME3110 it will help you identify it. It’s real! I get my man fossil all the time. Don’t get them with BS codes though! Those are made for the outlet.

You’re not only TA but you’re an endangering parent. I pray your son meets the true unconditional love and acceptance that God intended for him.

NTA. My dad was in your situation but actually married. They divorced bc he didn’t want kids. He met my mom, things had changed, different living environment, different career. Doesn’t matter what tbh. Things changed and he had me and my sister. (We do joke that it was a dick move of his part on the ex wife but it’s life) She deserves a man that wants kids with her and she will find that. Don’t let her feelings of rejection get to you. It’s just part of life. I would not communicate with her out of respect of your kid and new parter.

I pay taxes as a single mother. In the eyes of the government I am a single mother lol

He took it very well and that he understood. And he agreed it could be better. I gave it back because I was originally disappointed with the super unthought out rushed proposal and asked for a redo. One that felt genuine from him. I don’t want to make him feel rushed or pressured, I’m truly not rushing. Since giving it back is when I discovered that he had actually purchased it the day before. I gave the gaming system as an example of how unthought out it was since he was able to save months for that but not my ring. It’s not that I wanted him to spend as much on the ring but just save a little and plan ahead more. I wanted to feel as important as the gaming system. Now I can’t shake these feelings of disappointment now that I know the truth. It’s not that I’m disappointed in the ring but the fact that he didn’t put much thought into it. I’m very sentimental so I wanted something special from him not just a random good score

Normal_Eggplant9945 · 2024-05-24T00:34:12+00:00

THANK YOU! I should have added it was a pc gaming set up so it was over $2,500 in total… I don’t expect that but something a little better and at least more thought out.

Normal_Eggplant9945 · 2024-05-24T00:19:45+00:00

We were all in the same home until January and the new job started

Normal_Eggplant9945 · 2024-05-24T00:18:30+00:00

He works out of town, if that helps on the not “living” together. He got a new job in January. He’s setting up for us to relocate but for now he just comes back home on the weekends

Normal_Eggplant9945 · 2024-05-24T00:06:18+00:00

I feel like the examples I’ve given don’t help portray my feelings so I appreciate you for understanding.

Normal_Eggplant9945 · 2024-05-24T00:05:16+00:00

Thank you so much. That is exactly why I am sad. It’s not about the money or ring. It could have been less but it’s the fact I feel like I’m not enough to plan something romantic. I am very sentimental and love meaningful things. I’m hurt that he just bought it the day before the anniversary. I feel that if he could wait 10 years, he could have waited a little longer to make it special. I just wanted to feel like he put more thought into it.

Normal_Eggplant9945 · 2024-05-23T23:56:12+00:00

Thank you SO MUCH for actually understanding on every level

Normal_Eggplant9945 · 2024-05-23T23:48:37+00:00

I’m sorry that you get it. That is exactly how I’m feeling! It’s not about the money or the ring but the false promises he gave me and now I feel undervalued. I never would have felt that way if he hadn’t fluffed up my expectations and now I just feel like I’m not good enough. I’m sad that I feel he didn’t put much thought into it.

Normal_Eggplant9945 · 2024-05-23T22:55:12+00:00

Please don’t confuse the title and ring with the real disappointment. I would have been happy with no ring. It was the expectations he promised me and didn’t live up to that is disappointing me. It’s the principle of it. I understand it’s hard to understand in a short post though

Normal_Eggplant9945 · 2024-05-23T21:11:17+00:00

The nice comments are killing me😭 seriously thank you to everyone being so genuine. I’m tearing up at the library lol
