A woman who found her engagement ring before her boyfriend proposed complained about the 'basic' band on social media - and the internet is not happy.

'Ewwwww. Self shame Friday here I come. Found this in the BF's nightstand. Not a fan,' the woman wrote in a Facebook group.

'Please roast and then tell me how to tactfully say no you need to go get something different,' she added.

If she has this much leverage NOW:

How much after the marriage?

How much more than after a child..?

maybe 10,000x more than now.

No the boyfriend needs to get ‘something different’ in a girlfriend...

Diamonds were ALWAYS a scam.

But giving a diamond ring during a marriage proposal goes back 1,000 years, right?

Not even 100 years..!

And now the MAKING of diamonds is so routine that DeBeers just set up a *factory* in Oregon for it:

ZERO digging.

If he's got two functioning brain cells, he'll get something different alright.

And it won't be a ring.

Madonna would like this girl:

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance
That's all right with me
If they can't raise my interest, then I have to let them be
Some boys try, and some boys lie
But I don't let them play, no way
Only boys that save their pennies make my rainy day

'Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

It would look better with smaller diamonds.

To the guy: Leave, post haste, do not look back. To the woman: You’re an idiot.

I don’t know. Nowadays, I think this type of woman is right. An expensive ring is more of a guarantee.

I was the economical type who insisted I didn’t need a ring at all. So then, years later, after the divorce (yeah), I had nothing to pawn.

I never wanted an *upgrade* on my engagement ring.

I only got engaged once and that was good enough for me, and I’m keeping the original.

It’s not like I’m a jewelry junkie anyways.

I don’t want expensive things that I don’t wear and have to worry about what happens to it.

Um, it isn’t your ring, toots.

It’s for his real GF, side chick.

She is right she deserves something else......a man she loves enough not to judge like that.
