Woman’s reaction after accidentally finding ‘ugly’ engagement ring in boyfriend’s room

‘Please tell me how to tactfully say, ‘No, you need to go get something different’.’

We all know the feeling of accidentally discovering something we shouldn’t have.

But imagine finding your engagement ring before you’ve been proposed to.

A woman has described her reaction after stumbling across her engagement ring on her boyfriend’s nightstand.

Rather than being excited about the intent behind the ring, she was apparently unhappy with its aesthetics.

She posted a photo to the Facebook group ‘That’s It, I’m wedding shaming’, with the caption: “Ewwww. Self-shame Friday here I come.

“Found this on the boyfriend’s nightstand, not a fan. Please roast and then tell me how to tactfully say, ‘No, you need to go get something different’,” she wrote.

The woman’s post garnered hundreds of comments; some suggesting she sounded ungrateful, with others wondering if the special jewellery item was even meant for her.

“Spicy opinion of the day: buy your own goddamn ring or don’t say anything. Expensive engagement rings as a concept are weird and cringe,” said one.

“Ewww, not a fan of entitled,” added another.

“I hope it’s for his other girlfriend, LOL,” said a third.

Others defended the woman.

“Maybe it’s not for her,” said one.

“It’s okay to accept a proposal but let him know the ring isn’t your style,” said another.

“She’s so real for this,” added a third.

Recently in the same Facebook group, a bride raised eyebrows over what many said were “disrespectful wedding rules”.

The stipulations — 15 to be precise — were clearly listed on the invitations, under the heading ‘Wedding Rules.’

Rule No.1 aimed to make sure guests knew their place, suggesting invitees not make the day about anyone but the bride and groom.

“This is (their) big day, not yours,” it said.

Other rules included a dress code, not getting in the photographer’s way and not making any big announcements or proposals at the wedding.

There were also rules around ‘pacing’ the consumption of alcoholic drinks, not rearranging seats, not sitting down all night and even some pronouncements about the music.

“If you can’t handle the music being played, simply go home. This is a celebration not a funeral,” read rule No.8.

“It’s the whole thing for me, seems like an absolutely insufferable couple,” one suggested.

Another said: “The tone is so disrespectful... if you don’t like these people, don’t invite them and do an elopement. Yikes.”

While one added: “Why are they so confrontational?! Like, read the room. It’s a wedding, not a prisoner prom at a jail.”
