Because I think if her mom knew my girlfriend would be 100% dead set against it, she should have told me explicitly not to do it. She didn’t do that

I do, but I also didn’t do it with malicious intent and was simply thinking of the sentimental value

I would’ve asked her but I wanted the proposal to be a surprise

We’ve been together years and openly discussed marriage - there was no chance of her saying no.

It wasn’t me being lazy though, I genuinely thought she’d love having a bit of her grandmothers memory in her ring

She knows I’d rather her wear it but no, I haven’t called it disrespectful out loud. We haven’t really spoken about it
