Woman Rejects Engagement Ring Her Fiancé Gave His Ex


This woman asked folks on Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong for rejecting an engagement ring that her fiancé had given to his ex originally. Probably would've been best to just cough up the extra dough, and actually buy a new ring, my dude. Everyone in the comments seems to have sided with the woman's decision to reject the offering as well.

Text - AITA for not wanting a ring my fiancé already gave to another girl Not the A-hole My now fiancé was engaged a couple years before we got together, and they broke up and she gave the ring back. We've been together a few years and a few days ago, he proposed and I was super excited. The ring looked kinda familiar and when I asked him where it was from, he said it was the ring he gave to ex fiancé. I immediately took it off and was like "I don't want a ring you bought for someone else, it wa

How does he think to give you her rejects is ok? You are completely justified. And I would rethink this guy if I were you. Reply 8.8k ...

Text - S31-Syntax a• 4d NTA, I can't even imagine giving a ring I bought for someone else. The ring is supposed to be symbolic of you and him, not just a pretty tag he can reuse on реople. Its possible he's hung up on the cost investment though, and not simply stupid. Perhaps offer to help him pawn/sell the ring and then you both go to the jeweler and pick a ring that properly symbolizes your commitment to each other? btw if things go in that direction and you end up going to a jeweler and need/

Text - Legitimate_Painting • 4d I hope it's not my ex. Though, he said he threw "my" ring into the sea and yelled "fuck you" at it. I think it's justified, I'd feel weird, too, if I got a ring meant for another girl. NTA. Reply 30 ...

Text - KisakiS2lzYWtp • 4d NTA. That said, I do want to see the kind of upbringing and circumstances that led to the train of thought that justifies the behavior in his head. An engagement ring is really special. He should have given you a different ring, even when considering the circumstances. A cheaper, less ornate ring would have been fine, but the same ring another woman refused is not acceptable in any way, shape or form, unless it's made from an uru metal and vibranium alloy.

Text - Casseeeyy • 4d NTA. My husband was engaged once prior, and she returned the ring when they broke it off. When we started talking about getting engaged, he asked me if it would be okay to use the same solitaire in my engagement ring, as it's a family heirloom. I thought it was so sweet and considerate that he even asked me if it was okay. Of course I said yes, because it meant a lot to him, and he means the world to me. He took the rest of the diamonds from the previous engagement ring and

Text - disgruntled19661964 • 3d NTA. My girl friend went through something similar, her fiance had bought a ring for his girlfriend before, and wanted to give it to her because it was really expensive and he couldnt see wasting the money (reselling jewelry is a joke). She was really torn. I suggested taking the diamond out and putting it in the setting of her choice. They both agreed that was a great idea and were both happy. Maybe that would be a reasonable compromise for you guys? Reply ...

Text - ProjectKurtz • 3d NAH. This is really something he should have discussed with you. You're both coming from different places. Engagement rings are expensive and jewelry doesn't resell well. However, the sentiment of keeping the engagement ring intended for your ex to give to your new fiancee is pretty abysmal. He's being more frugal than sentimental and you're being more sentimental than frugal, and that's okay. Reply 14 I ...

Text - JustMeLurkingAround- • 4d NTA it's easy enough to go to a jeweller or goldsmith and either give the ring as part of the payment or let it be worked over to use the materials to create something new. It's just thoughtless and careless of him. Very low effort and suggest that the finger is easier exchangeable than the ring... Reply 3 + ...

Text - mdewkett • 4d NTA at all. Especially since you don't want him to buy an expensive ring, you want a $300 one. Don't let anyone tell you it's selfish or anything like that for wanting a ring chosen with your specially in mind Reply ...
