Diamonds are a girl’s best friend — but this bride-to-be can’t stand her new bestie.
After saying “Yes” to her fiancé’s request for her hand in marriage, a woeful woman is saying “No” to the diamond ring that he spent months designing before “blindsiding” her with the round-cut rock.
Now, sickened social media scolders are wagging their fingers at the gal, deeming her a “horrible person,” “toxic” and a “walking red flag” for giving off ungrateful vibes.
“Help — I hate my ring,” the unidentified future bride whined on Facebook. “My fiancé blindsided me with a proposal. I am so grateful for the gesture, but I hate the ring.”
“I thought it would grow on me. I gave it a week. I get sad every time I look at it. It’s so not me,” she continued, sharing two snapshots of the jaw-dropping jewel. “The round shape, halo, the pave band. I would’ve chosen the total opposite.”
The bellyacher’s disdain for the diamond aside, she was even more bothered that her betrothed didn’t bother to find out her preferred ring requirements.
“It’s upsetting me that he never asked me or my friends what kind of ring I like,” the woman wrote in her virtual grievance. “I changed my nail shape from square to accommodate the design, thinking if I have round nails, I’ll like a round ring more. Didn’t work.”
“What now? Should I suffer in silence?,” posed the hapless honey. “I pretend being happy every time he mentions how ‘beautiful’ the ring is. I’m scared he’ll get very offended if I bring it up. He said he spent 3 months designing the ring.”
“Any advice is welcome.”
However, rather than shower her with words of wisdom and support, digital bloodhounds chewed her out for the unappreciative speak.
But the fussy fiancée isn’t alone when it comes to detesting her stone.
In fact, a staggering 17% of newly engaged girls describe themselves as only “somewhat happy” with their rings, while an eye-popping 7% say they were totally “not happy” with their bling, according to a July study via luxury jewelers, ModernGents.
Some loops of love — such as a recently viral monstrosity deemed the “chastity belt” ring — are simply unsightly. Others, like the $38 Temu ring another unhappy camper received from her soon-to-be hubby, who commands a $200,000 annual income, are embarrassingly cheap.
Still, cyber censurers argue that it’s the thought, not the look or the cost, that counts.
“You’re a horrible person,” spat a critic of the Facebook faultfinder. “That man spent three months designing a ring and obviously spent a ton of money on it and wanted to surprise you completely.”
“Grow up,” the commenter continued. “You should be wearing that ring with pride for what it represents not just because it doesn’t fit your aesthetic.”
Equally irked critics echoed similar sentiments.
“Maybe he can exchange it…The girlfriend, not the ring,” one joked.
“I would definitely recommend giving it back, and you can go live under a bridge alone,” suggested a separate troller.
“Definitely toxic,” another chimed, in part.
“Girl, you are a walking red flag. DON’T make him spend the rest of his life with you,” urged an outraged onlooker. “NO one deserves that.”
