Man Calls Off Engagement After His Fiancée Criticizes $2,400 Ring & Demands a $20,000 Alternative

People had varying opinions about how much should be spent on a ring. It’s not really about which price is “right” or “wrong” — it’s about compatibility, some pointed out in the comments.

“This is not an engagement ring issue so much as it is a financial compatibility issue and it is very unlikely that they would only be incompatible on finances with the cost of an engagement ring,” one person wrote.

“Some people do value the material goods and price tag above everything else. If that is their jam, then cool,” another Redditor responded. “Just something (that) everyone needs to be on the same page about. I’m sorry that you found out so late in the relationship.”
