Hey, everybody... I''m feeling a little down today.
I was at work last night and a friend of mine asked to see my ring. (My ring can be seen in the thread "Engaged to the love of my life with the ring of my dreams!!!") Anyways, she looked at it and said, "Oh, that''s WEIRD! Do you actually like that?" I, of course, said, "Yes! I love it!" Then she asked how big it was and I told her approximately 1.15 carats. She said that her e-ring was 3/4 of a carat and hers looked huge. (Implying that mine did not.) A little later she asked if I was excited about getting married. I replied, "I''m super excited!" She then said she''d be scared and I told her I''d been with Robbie for 4 and a 1/2 years already. She replied, "I''d still be scared" and walked away. I was crushed... I consider her my friend! I had been so happy until then and she really upset me.
And then later on that night, my co-worker Chris, asked how my hand was doing (he had seen the ring already) and I said, "Great!!!" Another guy, Tony, asked what we were talking about and I raised my hand to show him. Chris mentioned how much it cost and the other guy made a face and said, "For that?!?" I dropped my hand, started to cry, and walked away.
I feel like such a baby, but hearing all those comments about my ring really hurt my feelings and finally got to me. I KNOW I shouldn''t care what they say, but I don''t understand why they have to say such things. Why don''t they keep it to themselves? Ritani is spendy (to me at least) and I know the Endless Love is not a very substansial ring. My co-worker said I didn''t get enough for my money... I could have gone the custom route or non-designer and have gotten "more bang for my buck". By the end of the night, I felt like a deflated balloon.
I thought talking to you gals (and guys
) might make me feel better since you, after all, are my "Pricescope family" and maybe some of you might be able to relate. Have any of you heard rude comments about your ring? I, myself, would NEVER say anything like I heard last night... that''s someone''s engagement ring!!! I just don''t get it. Especially coming from my friends.
Any input would be great and really appreciated....
thanks so much,
chellebelle
