Read any article or book on marriage, and most will tell you that a good marriage isn’t about the wedding, the honeymoon or the diamond rings, but not everyone shares the same values – enter wedding ring shaming groups. This popular embarrassment phenomenon has spread across the internet, where women get to air their ‘grievances’ of not getting the engagement ring they feel they deserve or wanted. Well, recently one woman did just that about her cheap engagement ring (mind you that it is actually not inexpensive at all) but was not met with the response she expected.
The anonymous shamer shared the post on her diamond wedding ring in a shaming group on Facebook, which ended up spreading to Reddit. Instead of finding people to ‘roast’ her boyfriend with for his gold wedding ring choice, she was met with appropriate backlash, doubting that she deserved the marriage proposal in the first place. Scroll down below to read her post and see how people responded.

when I proposed to my wife, I was skint, I bought a ring for £15, but it wasn't the size or the cost of the ring that mattered I just felt that I needed that part of the proposal to do it properly. Spoiler: she said yes. In time I got a pay rise, things improved for me and I went out an bought a more expensive ring to replace the original one. She didn't ask me to, she didn't need me to, I just wanted to do it. couple of years later we got married, and next year is our 10 year wedding anniversary. we don't have much, but in a way, because we love each other, we have everything.
Yeah!!! You're doing it right!
We were in the same boat. My engagement ring is jade with onyx and it didn't cost a fortune. Fast forward 30+ years and I still wear the same ring. We bought a different wedding band for our 25th anniversary, but I will never replace my jade ring.
You are rich in so many ways, Ten years is proof of how rich you are.
When I got married, I decided I DID NOT WANT A RING, JUST A GOOD SEWING MACHINE, TO MAKE SOME OF THE KIDS CLOTHES, HE BOUGHT ME A SET FIFTEEN YEARS LATER, SADLY, CANNOT WEAR THEM AS MY FINGERS HAVE ARTHRITIS. FOURTYSIX YEARS LATER, STILL HAVE THE SAME BAND ON MY FINGER. ❤️
Congrats on your marriage and your practicality. A real woman!
Congratulations on your happy marriage! :)
I love you!
The pic is of a lovely ring. I chose my ring myself, We set a modest buget and I went as far under it as I could. I didnt care about size, didnt need to impress people. the only absolute necessity was that the setting didn't protrude too much and the claws snag on tights/panty-hose and other clothing.
All you need is love, love is all you need...
Don't have much? You have EVERYTHING because you have EACH OTHER.
See this is how you do it! BTW stellermatt you are an amazing person keep on being awesome
God bless you both!!!!
One of the best things I've read in my life
That's what it's all about and should be about. The love and respect you have for each other. Sounds like you got a good one...and so did she.
"we don't have much, but in a way, because we love each other, we have everything." ... You certainly DO have everything. Congratulations to both of you on your upcoming anniversary!
I've been married for 21 years, and my ring has been broken, in a box on my nightstand for 19 of those years. The ring and the wedding are nice, but the quality of the time spent together after getting the ring and having the ceremony are the parts that really matter.
The 2nd time I got engaged I didnt want him to buy me a ring at all - I just wanted to wear my late mum's ring as it only fit that finger
“ we don't have much, but in a way, because we love each other, we have everything.” Respect!
My engagement ring cost £50 coz we were both broke but we've been together for 25 years. This new attitude of ring shaming is truly disgusting. Anyone who does this, and feels this way about something that a loving partner has bought for them, doesn't deserve to be with anyone. They deserve to spend their selfish nasty little lives alone, with a very large, cold, shiny rock to keep them company as they grow old.
I don't think this is a new attitude. We're just at a place, technologically speaking, where there are forums for it. As long as engagement rings have been a thing (and DeBeers dictating how much they should cost) I'm sure there have been girlfriends that get together to trash their engagement rings (or mothers of). It's a shitty attitude for sure, but probably not new.
Absolutely disgusting that people now a days seem to put more value on a ring than in the love and respect from their significant other.
Yes, send them to the desert, with a big stone and no water
My husband proposed to me with an origami ring. I said yes
