The ugly engagement ring

Date: 7/3/2019

It was just a regular week day. Had to work, go home, do chores, make dinner, the usual. My friend came over for what I thought would be just another relaxing afternoon. Joel came home at a reasonable time but I didn’t think much of it. Then just like that in the kitchen he got down on one knee. I looked at my friend she was now recording me on her phone. I looked back at Joel and now he held a ring looking up to me like a puppy scared and unsure what my reaction would be. Will you merry me he asked. My eyes started billowing with tears and I just smiled and nodded my head fast with out any hesitation. I put my hand out to take the ring but instead he takes my hand in his and slips the ring on my finger. The first thing I noticed was that it was too big but didn’t seem to care. And then as I got a closer look at it I started to feel a bit agitated. The ring was a very good size so that was awesome but looking closer at it. I see it’s fucking a light pink. And there’s a little bow out of diamonds on the neck of the pink stone. I now see how cheap this looks. Real or not it looks godey it looks like you would buy it at Walmart. Why would he think I would like something like this. Can I get past it and learn to like it get used to it. Maybe. Live the rest of my life wearing this ring every single day on my finger and never taking it off for the entire world to see. Fuck no. All of the nice feelings in my head now change with anger. Am I a spoiled ungrateful bitch I don’t think so. How did he not know exactly what i like after being together for over 6 years. I want to merry Joel I want a ring just not with this ring.
