Many women daydream about the day their partner buys them a ring, though sometimes you need to be careful what you wish for.
What would you do if your boyfriend (not fiance), expected you to wear a $30 cheap Amazon ring every day?
One girl recently took to Reddit for insight on exactly this.
Here’s what went down.
AITA for not wearing my ring?
Me (36F) and my partner (48M) have been together for over 5 years.
He gave me a ring, it’s a $30 Amazon puzzle ring for my ring finger.
Sweet gesture, even if it’s not over the moon.
Every time I take it off it comes apart, and it’s a pain to put it back together.
I melted plastic around the band, but after a while I always have to redo it to keep the ring together.
Seems like it would make sense just to buy a new one?
The ring is also cloudy, and I currently don’t have what I need to clean it.
I stopped wearing my ring as much, I’m trying to keep it in good shape until I can get what I need to keep it clean.
Solid logic here.
I get hit on a lot even more so when I’m not wearing it.
AITA?
It hurt my partners feelings, and he accused me of seeking attention which deeply hurt mine.
Uh, that’s a bit of a leap on his part.
I have an active lifestyle, so the plastic and bands don’t hold up well to keep it together.
Well…this one seems pretty cut and dry. Let’s see if Reddit agrees.
Most commenters were appalled.
Not a single person sided with the husband.
Some even encouraged breaking up.
Though some folks added nuance.
And added helpful comparison.
Just because you like it, doesn’t mean you always have to put a ring on it.
