“Greedy” woman slammed after being “disappointed” with engagement ring
A woman has been dubbed “ungrateful” and “greedy” online after sharing a lengthy post about how she was “pretty disappointed” with the ring her boyfriend proposed with.
The bride-to-be took to Facebook to say that while she still loves her fiancé, she was upset at being given a lab-made diamond as opposed to a natural one.
“I'm not going to lie, I was pretty disappointed, especially since my future husband has enough income to afford a real diamond,” she said in the lengthy post.
She also confessed to feeling like “a spoiled brat for complaining”, but went on to compare how her fiancé was previously engaged to another woman and proposed with a ring costing more than $75,000, so the cheaper diamond left her feeling “second best”.
The woman’s post was met with ridicule online, as thousands of people commented on her post to express their disbelief.
One person quipped, “I require my diamonds to be exploitative.”
“People sure do get upset when their diamonds aren't the result of human rights abuses and environmental destruction, huh,” another said, slamming the woman's “entitled attitude”.
Another woman was quick to agree that the bride-to-be's “greedy” disappointment was in bad taste.
“Carbon is carbon,” another person said, referring to the material that diamonds are made of, whether from the ground or in a lab.
“Such a weird hill to die on! I told my husband I wanted a lab created diamond for this exact reason: because diamond mining claims lives! Having a chemically perfect diamond is a bonus,” another woman said.
