Every friend group has someone who can’t resist tearing down other people’s special moments.

One woman’s friend was especially judgmental about the engagement rings of other women in their circle. But when her friend showed up with the ugliest ring of all, she couldn’t hold back her resentment any longer.

And their friendship didn’t quite survive the blow.

Read on for the full story!

AITA for telling my friend her engagement ring is ugly?

My friend is constantly harping on other people’s engagement rings. Every time one of our friends gets engaged, she sends it to me with some snarky comment.

Even if it’s a woman they both know, her friend always has something negative to say.

For example, last week she sent me a picture of one of our mutual acquaintance’s rings, which had been posted on FB, saying that it was one of the ugliest rings she had ever seen.

Was it an ugly ring? Yes!

But also, I don’t believe in crapping on people’s happiest moments, and I find it strange that she always has something negative to say.

But surprisingly, her friend had the ugliest ring of all.

Last month, she finally got engaged. I honestly think her ring is hideous and tacky.

She asked for the biggest “rock” possible, and it’s just not appealing in any way.

She’d grown increasingly annoyed with her friend’s rudeness.

She sent me another person’s engagement ring last night, and I have been so fed up with her negativity that I ignored it all day.

She texted me again a few minutes ago asking me if I saw her message, what I thought of the ring, etc.

I told her yes, but I didn’t want to talk about it.

But when her friend kept pressing, things blew up.

Then she kept asking me what was wrong, so I finally exploded at her.

I told her I was sick of her being a jerk about everyone else’s happiest moment, that who cares if the ring is ugly if she isn’t the one wearing it, and that I’m sure many people think that about her ring too.

Now for the worst part.

She then asked me point-blank if I thought her ring was ugly, and I said yes.

Now she is super mad at me and said I ruined her ring and she doesn’t want to be my friend anymore.

AITA for telling her her ring is ugly?

Sounds like this friend messed around and found out.

What did Reddit make of this story?

This commenter thinks she should have addressed this with her friend much sooner.

Just blowing up at her friend instead of having an honest conversation definitely wasn’t the move here.

On the other hand, her friend asked, so she simply answered.

Maybe letting go of this friendship is for the best.

Her friend demanded honesty, so she got it — just not the version she wanted.

If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out!
