When you have a good relationship, usually, the next step is to solidify things by proposing marriage to your partner. There are several things to consider when taking this step, including picking the right engagement ring.

Engagement rings are a symbol of love and commitment. That’s why people go to many lengths to ensure they get suitable rings for their partners.

With civilization and the evolution of fashion, there are multiple choices available for people to choose from. They have to consider the preferences of their partner and their financial capabilities.

Some people, however, are lucky because they don’t have to think about the ring to give their partner, as they have a family heirloom for that exact purpose. We found a man on Reddit who didn’t have to worry about the ring to give to his partner.

He decided to give his girlfriend a ring he had given his ex. Unfortunately, things didn’t go according to plan, so we have this story to share!

His fiancé, who had shared the original story on the AITA subreddit, shared that they had broken up afterward, as he didn’t like that she had put it up on Reddit.

She also revealed that he had gotten into a new relationship a month later. You already know Redditors sure had a lot to say on this matter.

OP needs the Reddit community to step into this

OP explained that she wants a ring that was meant for her, and her alone

Unfortunately, their beautiful love story turned sour

Here's how the Reddit community reacted to the story:

"You’ll find a great guy who propose to you with a ring he specifically chose with you in mind"

"So.. the guy was ready to marry you, but didn’t spend more than 14 days to be upset about it?"

"He sounds like he just wants a wife, not a marriage, and doesn’t care about who it’s with"

"I can't wait until you meet a man who gives you a ring just for you."

"It's as if we dated the same guy! The only difference was that he didn't admit it was from a previous girl."

"You refused a ring, but dodged a bullet"

"He wasn’t true love material. Take care of yourself & keep your standards high."

"Why would he keep offering the same ring to multiple women knowing clearly many women have an issue with that?"

"No frigging way would I give a ring that was meant for someone else. No way. That's just lazy and not cool."

"Guess he took the decision out of your hands here, as well as that hand-me-down ring"

"TWO OTHER GIRLS!?! Full marks for addressing a HUGE red flag in the moment"

"As a guy, I would have sold it and got something for you."

Seems not every bride-to-be is offended by getting an engagement ring formerly given to an ex

We would love an update, and we bet you would too! Commenters were shocked that OP’s fiancé had ended things over her refusal to wear the ring he had proposed to his ex with.

Most believe that OP’s fiancé wasn’t committed to begin with.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think OP’s refusal to accept the previously owned ring warranted a breakup? Let us know in the comments below!
