This is OP. I don't wear any jewelry so I always knew my engagement ring had to be special because I would wear it forever. I emphasized it to him during the 4 years that we dated. How I actually cared about my engagement ring, not because I am materialistic ( I do not own any other jewelry) but because of sentimental value. I went with him to multiple jewelry stores and specified what kind of halo I wanted. We took pictures.

[b]He still gave me the one I specified I did NOT like the look of.[/b]

Unfortunately there are other aspects of my relationship that I am also disappointed in. Not sure if I have crazy high expectations or they are legitimate grievances.

OK OP, you need to share what other aspects of your relationship you are disappointed in. Then DCUM will tell you if you are out of line or legitimately upset.

PS you don't have to like a lot of jewelry to be materialistic. 
PPS I agree you should be happy with your ring. I loved my ring, but it took a long time to get a wedding band that I liked equally as well. You need something you'll be happy with. Ring and man.[/quote]

If this is actually true (the extensive shopping, he was told which one NOT to buy and bought it), then you do have a problem. However, I really don't understand why, if the two of you were shopping for rings together, you didn't just buy the ring together. Then you would have gotten exactly what you wanted. It's not exactly a surprise traditional romantic proposal if you've already done a lot of shopping for the ring anyway.[/quote]

Hi OP - what are the other parts of your relationship that bother you? Are they normal other people are annoying-type stuff - he farts too much, or doesn't like to go out on Fri nights when you really want to go dancing? Or are they more salient things like you don't want kids and your fiance is desperate for six of them, or you are worried that he is going to steal all your money and blow it at the casino?[/quote]
