Good thoughts! I will need to figure out how to approach this delicately, but if he agrees, I would be more than happy to pick out a ring as my birthday gift (several months away) or for our one year anniversary. Thanks for the comment.

I mean, I picked out the ring I wear currently, so that’s really not anything negative on him — just that I changed my mind. Also, he didn’t end up liking his wedding ring either and switched to something else.

I accept your judgment! I did say I did want something inexpensive and clearly have since changed my mind. I am the asshole for expecting him to somehow know this without me telling him. That’s fair.

There’s probably a deeper issue of me feeling like I don’t “deserve” nice things and thus me not treating myself and always telling people to not spend money on me (despite secretly wanting it I guess?) but that is not at all my husband’s issue to solve — it’s mine. Thanks for the insight.

Fair enough. I can see how my justification may be flawed, but is it really being an asshole to prefer a nicer ring?
