Engaged with beautiful good quality rings worth 15k+
As we get older I am still angry and resentful. Was I not special or important enough for a nice ring?
PP here. Wait that was only $7K, he will sure get resentful.

I love the symbolism of the pearl. It was a significant purchase for us at the time (yes, we both contributed to it, since I thought it was not fair to expect my then fiancé to buy something expensive on his own when we were in our mid-20s and didn’t have a lot of money).
If other women prefer more expensive rings, that’s great for them. I love what I have; it’s very special to me.

NP.. I kinda agree it might be a troll, but in case OP is not a troll..
what was DH's income back then? That matters.
When my sister got engaged, they didn't have much money, so yea, the ring wasn't all that nice. She was jealous of my ring when I got engaged, but DH (and I) were making good money. We were also a lot older when we got engaged compared to my sister.
Decades later, my sister's DH makes a lot more, and he got her a nice ring, nicer than mine, not that I care, really. I barely wear my engagement ring now. Stopped wearing it during the pandemic, and realize how much less of a hassle it is now without the ring.
Op here. He made about 75k. It’s a cheap setting as well. I hardly wear it due to embarrassment especially since all the women in our circle have rings worth 15k+ and the quality shows.
He makes more money now and says I can upgrade the setting of my ring. Really I want a nice 2 carat ring that will out do everyone else’s stupid ring they are so smug about!

Why don’t you buy your ring? Isn’t it all marital money anyway? If “he” can afford it, “you” can afford it. Make it a birthday or Christmas present and call it a day.
It means nothing giving it to myself.
