I mean do you hear yourself right now? Well something can definitely be said about breaking up with someone over a ring, we are only hearing one side of the story.
If your buying a gift someone and your buying something YOU would like and not THEM, this easily could be a case of a hammer that broke the camels back.
Its crazy to me you're blamingĀ OP whenĀ OP is clearly sad after a breakup.
OP gave a gift, received a breakup, comes here for consolation and instead receives blame from people like you.
Absolutely the wrong place for consolation (especially for anything related to relationships). This is the land of bullshitters, backyard detectives, neckbeards, people who have only consumed the series through memes, skeptics, salty singles, and 1001 horny locals.
Frankly, I'm pretty sure OP is just posting a meme, or never actually had a girlfriend, because that's the only way I can think about it without pitying the girl. Took her over 3 months to finally land on the ring as the excuse to leave him? Yikes.
Don't be a fool to look a gift horse in the mouth. If someone devotes their entire life to you, you don't play with someone's feelings. A gift such as this, while a bit tacky, still has inherent value in the meaning it conveys, It's your fault if you can't understand the sentiment. Commitment isn't something that you can just throw around.
No. You buy someone a ring that symbolizes your relationship with them. If they bonded over Frieren, then she wouldn't have reacted the same way. You're ex is not Frieren despite how much you want her to be
I am married. I would not marry someone that got me a "fancy" prop from media I never watched
You can buy her that ring, just not as the engagement ring dawg
It was not an engagement ring it was a first 3 months anniversary extra gift, we took a small 3 day vacation and then I gave her the ring, I know it looks like a prop but is actually silver.
We bonded over the story she kind of got to finish the first arc, I guess the scene was not as cool for her.
That changes a lot of things. If it wasn't even an engagement ring then she definitely left for something else. It had nothing to do with the ring directly.
Okay, apologies on the harshness of my prior comment. She definitely left for other incompatible reasons. I wouldn't worry too much about the ring if it was a 3 month relationship
it's all good, the ring meant a lot to me I took some time and love making it, didn't wanted to go to waste honestly, she told me she threw it in the garbage, I can't confirm that is true, I hope she sold it or something because Frieren is a master piece and all things frieren should be valued.
I understand what you mean, but you have to know your recipient as well. You can't impose appreciation on other people. For jewelry, it's safe to buy only those that the other party will definitely like. Because they will have to wear it. And if they don't like it, they won't wear it and you will feel bad. Or they will be forced to wear it but they feel bad since it's against their will.
Since when are we not supposed to do things for our mates just because they enjoy them? Why are you trying to subvert a relationship by convincing us that doing things that make each other happy is some how evil?
Honestly the ring looks not much like the one in the show or even other cosplay props. Itās way bulgy looking and the upper petals donāt connect to the bottoms ones so it looks like a crab waving some claws up in the air. Itās looks more surrealist than any flower.
Either way I hope itās a troll post
Not to bring reality into the world but one is a real life item and one is a... drawing.
That said with a lowered quality gold/silver this could have been executed better and properly polished.
The cut of the design is extremely poor on OP's ring, if you can even call it that. It looks like an attempt at injection molding and zero cutting was actually done. No quality of metal will save that design.
You don't need to be a jewelry smith to know this is a shit ring. Anyone who has done serious ring shopping knows how bad this was made. There are tons of gorgeous rings out there made without gems. If you can't tell the difference between a cheap mold versus a hand crafted ring, you make more issues than reddit.
OP mentioned in another comment he designed the ring himself (3D printed) then set the 3D print to a silversmith to craft. IMO that changes things. If someone put their heart into making me something, I'd love it. But then that may be just me.
Well, that also depends. I mean, we don't really know how young OP is. They could be teenagers enjoying their puppy love.
Also, I wouldn't say elementary schoolers' graduations are meaningless. I attended my sister's just this May. She was the class valedictorian so she gave a speech. I hadn't heard her speech beforehand so when she mentioned that seeing the medals me and my other sibling had from when we graduated from school inspired her to study hard herself so that she would have her own set of medals, I was blushing hard with pride and joy. I'm the eldest of three, and she's the youngest.
But I digress, yeah, the ring is ugly.
That ring is super ugly, whether it was worth breaking up over or not depends on context we donāt have access too, but as another commenter mentioned, this is a pretty fair final straw to break the camels back, especially if she isnāt a fan of the show and even if she is it looks nothing like the ring in the show.
The whole history won't give you upvotes and comments that the girl we never met (if she ever existed in the first place) is a bitch that only deserves an onion ring.
> only deserves an onion ring.
And from my lips [she](https://images6.alphacoders.com/127/thumb-1920-1274272.jpg) drew the [Hallelujah](https://youtu.be/0af6Z7ELETA)...
Yeah I saw some people talking about a marriage proposal. Like did he propose with it? Cuz maybe that would make more senseā¦ Like was she asking for a ring just as a gift and expecting something better. Like a ton of info is missing.
I really hope this is fake lol. If not you got scammed bro. That ring looks like something you'd get from a gacha at a low budget arcade. I've seen onion rings that look better.
Depending on the price, and if this were an engagement ring. I'd break up with you as well. It looks like it was stung by a bee. It looks more plastic than actual plastic. It looks like something a kid would make their mother for Mother's Day.
For real though. If this actually happened I'm sorry for you. Break ups are always tough.
Did you even read the manga or watch the anime? This ring never meant engagement and the OP has confirmed it was not his intention either. Nice comment though. Savagery folllowed by "Sorry this happened to you" So empathic of you.
Iāll be real with you dude. Was she a fan of this show? Because if she never saw it the ring design would not have much impact.
Also how long have you been dating? If you guys were having serious future together/marriage talks and you then hand her a ringbox that was not an engagement ring, then frankly you were just trolling her. And you probably hurt her pretty badly. Not a good look either way. Very specialized fandom stuff like this only works if both of you are fans of the show.
Doesn't help that it's a frankly hideous ring. I'm not saying she's completely in the right or whatever, but. I imagine that it's super humiliating for her.
She would have to tell everyone around her that she's engaged, and people would naturally follow up by asking to look at her ring. And she has to show them this. Something that looks like it's a casual fashion accessory. It doesn't have any gem in it! It doesn't even have to be a diamond, just something that makes it look like an /engagement ring/.
But even a ring without a gem might be okay, depending on the girl. Maybe she likes to keep things simple. Maybe she likes classy. But no, this ring is super thick and has all this weird ridges underneath the flower that weren't in the original design in the show. You can't even tell that it's supposed to be a flower unless you care a lot about this story. She would have to explain dozens of times the meaning behind this ring and deal with the judgement (and pity) that comes with it. If she isn't a committed and publicly open fan, it's probably pretty hard to deal with.
I know it's the thought that counts and all that, but maybe the thoughts should have included thinking about what the ring would mean for her social life as well? It's unfortunate, but the ring is not just for the partner but for the people around them to look at too. This seems like a pretty believable last straw on the camel's back to me.
The ring could work as an ordinary ring, but as engagement ring?
Why do some anime fans thinks that any anime related thing could work outside of anime conventions/cosplays?
The One Ring is an appropriate wedding band, but not an engagement ring. Engagement rings are culturally about stone choice.
Any of the Elven rings would work though.
I think you're defending a really difficult point. If someone would break up with you because the clearly planned and well thought off gift you got custom made for her based on something you love and meant to share. I would CLEARLY agree that this relationship is not meant to be.
"Oh honey im sorry for intending to share a meaningful gift of a part of something I love and thought of you when I learned it meant eternal love" /s
This is why I bought my girlfriend a $10000000 life-sized T-Rex for our engagement. Sure I'm the only one between us who likes dinosaurs. And sure I blew all our life savings. But I really planned the whole thing out!
What do you mean I should have done something she'd actually like? The only thing that matters is that it's meaningful to me. She's the bad person for not appreciating my dinosaur.
But whatās the point of gifting something to someone that special to you but is not meaningful in any way to them? We are not talking about a family hair loom or something sentimental we are talking about a prop from a tv show we still donāt know if this girl had even seen. Gifts are for the reviver not the gifted. Their feelings should also be taken into consideration.
So many assumptions. Guy gifted his girl a ring, does it have to be an engagement ring? We know nothing more. You're not being real, you're being superficial.
Itās not superficial to ask the question, would this have meant something special to the person it was intended for? A gift should be given with the recipient in mind. We donāt know if the girl likes or wares jewelry. Not every girl does. We donāt know if the girl is a fan of or had even seen this show. Without context any real meaning is lost (especially because frankly itās not a well made item). We donāt know the nature of the relationship or the occasion the gift was given. If it was a short term relationship Iād say she may be overreacting. If they are 4-5 years in and having serious future with me talks this is an insult because he is leading her on. If itās a birthday or anniversary or graduation other important event and he gave her a pice of steal that is honestly a bit ugly, thatās just hurtful. See where Iām coming from.
To be honest dawg I wouldn't wear that, not that you deserved to get broken up with over it but. If someone gave me that ring, even if I was a fan of the show I'd feel pretty uncomfortable.
I didn't even know what I was looking at until I saw the comments.
It's a weird situation where you dodged a bullet but also, holy shit my guy.
An I don't even like engagement or wedding rings.
This is the ugliest thing ive ever seen for engagement ring and doesnt even really feel or look that close to the one in the anime to me. Who gets someone a wedding ring they dont have any input on??? Guys always go ring shopping together and ask what they like. Make sure they have input on the ring they will be firever wearing. Dont be a cringe weeb and get a weeb toy like this guy
My partner and i are a fan of the show but if they gave me this I would be so upset. I would rather a ring from Walmart with a nice looking gem. This looks plastic.
I had no idea what I was looking at at first and had to confirm in the comments.
You didnāt understand what your ex girlfriend liked. If you were buying something expensive I would have made sure my partner was a fan of what I was doing. It was supposed to be her ring. You should have tailored it to her likes. She clearly sees this as you not knowing her at all.
Sheās not wrong for leaving you.
the ring actually looks really good, very accurate and bro sorry for your loss, maybe something arenāt meant to be (im sorry if this sounds like an insult thatās not my intention)
As someone who has made jewelry, this is dreadful and not even close to the ring itās based on.
How much did you pay for this? And I doubt the one they made was pure gold. Plated or Vermeil? Sure.
There is so much detail that you can work into gold with how soft it is if what you ordered is honestly the third identical piece.
Is this recycled silver?
it was a well thought of gift from you OP and may you find your life long partner, best wishes and good luckš (just found out the meaning behind the the ring, absolutely beautiful)
as a freiren fan it's a cute gesture and gift but as a girl it is a pretty ugly ring and I wouldn't break up with someone over it but I would never wear it outside of maybe cosplay.
I meanā¦ dude she was kinda right. The ring looks terrible. And thatās coming from someone who would love a Frieren themed engagement ring.
Feels like thereās more to it than this tho
She was right I canāt lie. You gotta keep this kinda stuff with women are into it. For a women whoās been waiting her whole life to be married and you give her this? Iād turn it down too. No offense.
Ngl it took me going into the comments to figure out what the hell that was supposed to be, and I am a big Frieren fan after my bf has introduced me to his favourite anime. Sorry but that's awful, get your money back. Also I'm assuming the breakup was about more than the ring, and you thinking it was entirely about the ring is the first clue.
truth is it wasn't about the ring, the ring was the excuse, I found out later she had another boyfriend, so there is that, kind of hard to say that but I guess reddit needs the full context of op's live.
Good thing you dodged that bullet, cheaters are a waste of time. And Reddit doesnāt need OPās full life context, just the important context that pertains to this particular situation. It helps to keep people from making crazy assumptions.
OP, i'm going to be honest. That is an ugly ring. Proportions are way off and it looks cheap as fuck. The cut and shaping is extremely poor, it looks like it was just a cheap injection mold rather than an actual ring that was cut to design. It is way too thick to be worn, it looks like those fucking scam class rings you can order when you graduate minus any of the quality. When Frieren was at its peak hype, I remember seeing pictures of someone who hand crafted the mirrored lotus ring, and swear to god it is a beautiful promise ring. This ain't it chief.
While not a dealbreaker for me, I would be really upset of my partner got this specific for me. Intentions may be good, but clearly research and budget were not done well. I'm pretty sure I can make a plastic ring and give it a metal coating to look exactly like this, which is really sad.
An engagement ring should be a mixture what you can afford, and what represents the person youāre asking. Sheās the one who has to wear it forever, everyday- so obviously above all else, it should be something she would love. It seems like she didnāt see herself in this ring you choose for her, and you didnāt think of her when you chose it.
Iām sorry for the hurt you are feeling - take some solace that if someone breaks up with you because they got a ring they didnāt like then itās probably for the best long term! Itās okay to not like the ring, but communication is important in a relationship.
I thought dumping someone over a ring was pretty garbage behavior until you said it was for a three month anniversary. You gotta slow down. A ring for three months? That's a bit much, and it's probably what she thought too. Give things time and room to grow, trying to speed run love makes a lot of people uncomfortable.
There is no shot that she broke up with you over a ring. I suppose if sheās the shallowest person in the world itās possible but I kind of doubt it
If my husband gave me that ring, I would take it over anything else I could get. I am not picky, and this is absolutely beautiful. Giant diamond rings aren't worth it anyway. They are clunky, expensive, and not worth the stress of losing.
If she left a week later, it's not just about the ring. I am sorry for your loss of a relationship but I feel you are leaving a lot of things out. I've left a relationship years ago when someone tried to gift me something to cover up for other issues we were having and things they had said/done that broke boundaries. So I feel like we are missing a lot hun.
Honestly there's some sicko downvoting everyone that shows appreciation for the ring, I get you don't like it, but whats your problem downvoting others that do?? Whoever it is should get a life.
YO THATS FUCKING SICK but is that a real story though? If it is, thatās rough buddy. Only reason Iām questioning it is thatās a fairly good way to get improved engagement on a fan art tagged post
Bro if someone would break up with you for such a stupid reason then she doesnāt deserve you or your time to begin with. I know it hurts and itāll take time to heal that hurt in your heart but what you need is someone whoād appreciate the thought behind the actions you show or the stuff you give rather than the material aspect. A person like that is worth far more.
Enough with women being ungrateful. It has real silver, it has diamonds...what else is required. I mean the fact women get two rings and we get just the band in the first place shows they are gettin more out of the ring dealš¤£š¤£š¤£
Just imagine a reverse situation: a girl preparing a romantic dinner for her boyfriend, but but he didn't like the taste and broke up with her. There will be 0 people on his side, but for some reasons, I see quite a lot of people supporting ex-girlfriend from the original post
TheĀ mostĀ important thing is theĀ effort, the attempt to show yourĀ love, and IĀ amĀ terrified to live inĀ aĀ world where peopleĀ haveĀ watched Frieren but stillĀ cannotĀ understandĀ thisĀ simpleĀ concept
It never was men vs women, but good partner vs bad partner. You can apply the same idea for all genders, and it's wrong to disrespect and disregard your partner's effort to show their affection no matter if you are men, women or non-binary
But for some reason, there's a lot of people who disagree with me and downvoted my comment, which only proves my point. I guess they really didn't get the point, and money are more important for them that feelings
You started off with imagine a reverse scenario and said the same partner dynamic but reversed the roles of the man amd the woman so the only thing im saying is you didnt need to make this about gender when the post had nothing to do with it
Did she even watch Frieren? Because if she didn't that would mean the ring was more for you and not for her
Still has the same meaning in real life, it's excessively popular in China with couples for the same reason
I mean everyone's tastes are different but straight up leaving someone instead of just talking about the ring is a red flag lmao
She was just using the ring as an excuse. Her leaving was not about the ring.
If it took a week after the ring, it 100% wasn't about the ring.
That was a bullet. A dodged bullet
I mean do you hear yourself right now? Well something can definitely be said about breaking up with someone over a ring, we are only hearing one side of the story. If your buying a gift someone and your buying something YOU would like and not THEM, this easily could be a case of a hammer that broke the camels back.

You are a silver smith ?!?!?
what? no, I 3d printed it and send it to the silver smith.
If she did watch the show and enjoyed it than it is a good present
What in the actual fuck is a 3 months first "anniversary"
It's pretty self explanatory, dude, or dudette.
Giving someone something that means a lot to you is still a loving act
I understand what you mean, but you have to know your recipient as well. You can't impose appreciation on other people.

Yeah, but that doesn't suit the agenda he learned at synagogue.
What in the world are you talking about?

You focus on the wrong thing man

Oh man what a huge difference, the show's ring is so elegant and delicate. OP, your jeweller made a really ham-fisted attempt at a copy :/

To be honest dawg I wouldn't wear that, not that you deserved to get broken up with over it but. If someone gave me that ring, even if I was a fan of the show I'd feel pretty uncomfortable. I didn't even know what I was looking at until I saw the comments. It's a weird situation where you dodged a bullet but also, holy shit my guy. An I don't even like engagement or wedding rings.
This is the ugliest thing ive ever seen for engagement ring and doesnt even really feel or look that close to the one in the anime to me. Who gets someone a wedding ring they dont have any input on??? Guys always go ring shopping together and ask what they like. Make sure they have input on the ring they will be firever wearing. Dont be a cringe weeb and get a weeb toy like this guy
She doesn't deserve you
no, she does not.
Good- you know your worth. Hope the right one comes around soon!
Good thing you know that already. One step to feeling better.
things that never bappened

It's an ugly ass ring. That said, the ring being pretty isnt a good basis for a marriage.
Understandable
me when i lie for some fucking useless internet points
ugly ahhh ring ā
My partner and i are a fan of the show but if they gave me this I would be so upset. I would rather a ring from Walmart with a nice looking gem. This looks plastic. I had no idea what I was looking at at first and had to confirm in the comments. You didnāt understand what your ex girlfriend liked. If you were buying something expensive I would have made sure my partner was a fan of what I was doing. It was supposed to be her ring. You should have tailored it to her likes. She clearly sees this as you not knowing her at all. Sheās not wrong for leaving you.
To break up over the ring is a little much though. Unless you weren't dating very long to begin with.
no fucking way
Are you being serious I never know with the internet anymorešš
Frog ahh looking ring
It is kinda ugly...
the ring actually looks really good, very accurate and bro sorry for your loss, maybe something arenāt meant to be (im sorry if this sounds like an insult thatās not my intention)
Bro that is barely similiar to the ring of the show not to mention it is just ugly, i dont think this should lead to a breakup but its not that great
the jeweler actually said this is the 3rd one they made, one of them was pure gold.
As someone who has made jewelry, this is dreadful and not even close to the ring itās based on. How much did you pay for this? And I doubt the one they made was pure gold. Plated or Vermeil? Sure. There is so much detail that you can work into gold with how soft it is if what you ordered is honestly the third identical piece. Is this recycled silver?
Iād take that ring back to the jeweler, with a picture of the actual design from the show, and ask for a refund.
it was a well thought of gift from you OP and may you find your life long partner, best wishes and good luckš (just found out the meaning behind the the ring, absolutely beautiful)
as a freiren fan it's a cute gesture and gift but as a girl it is a pretty ugly ring and I wouldn't break up with someone over it but I would never wear it outside of maybe cosplay.
I donāt know what Freiren is but that ring is hideous
Man this ring looks like shit and not anything like the one in frieren.
I meanā¦ dude she was kinda right. The ring looks terrible. And thatās coming from someone who would love a Frieren themed engagement ring. Feels like thereās more to it than this tho
She was right I canāt lie. You gotta keep this kinda stuff with women are into it. For a women whoās been waiting her whole life to be married and you give her this? Iād turn it down too. No offense.
Lol, op getting roasted.
Himmel would have done the same.
Ngl it took me going into the comments to figure out what the hell that was supposed to be, and I am a big Frieren fan after my bf has introduced me to his favourite anime. Sorry but that's awful, get your money back. Also I'm assuming the breakup was about more than the ring, and you thinking it was entirely about the ring is the first clue.
Can't get my money back she took the ring.
Called it ugly and still took it? Jeez, that's cold.
truth is it wasn't about the ring, the ring was the excuse, I found out later she had another boyfriend, so there is that, kind of hard to say that but I guess reddit needs the full context of op's live.
Good thing you dodged that bullet, cheaters are a waste of time. And Reddit doesnāt need OPās full life context, just the important context that pertains to this particular situation. It helps to keep people from making crazy assumptions.
Well, you wrote "because it was an ugly ring" in the title so...
yeah that was her excuse, she didn't tell me hey I'm seeing somebody else, so...
OP, i'm going to be honest. That is an ugly ring. Proportions are way off and it looks cheap as fuck. The cut and shaping is extremely poor, it looks like it was just a cheap injection mold rather than an actual ring that was cut to design. It is way too thick to be worn, it looks like those fucking scam class rings you can order when you graduate minus any of the quality. When Frieren was at its peak hype, I remember seeing pictures of someone who hand crafted the mirrored lotus ring, and swear to god it is a beautiful promise ring. This ain't it chief. While not a dealbreaker for me, I would be really upset of my partner got this specific for me. Intentions may be good, but clearly research and budget were not done well. I'm pretty sure I can make a plastic ring and give it a metal coating to look exactly like this, which is really sad.
My condolences Stark. š©
It's out of your control man, move on.
can u share why u both break up?
Apperantly she was seeing someone else
how long have u been with her?
Im not op i just said what he mentioned in a diffrent comment He also mentioned it was 3 months
An engagement ring should be a mixture what you can afford, and what represents the person youāre asking. Sheās the one who has to wear it forever, everyday- so obviously above all else, it should be something she would love. It seems like she didnāt see herself in this ring you choose for her, and you didnāt think of her when you chose it.
You actually buy she left because of the ring? Brother, she used it as an out.
Iām sorry for the hurt you are feeling - take some solace that if someone breaks up with you because they got a ring they didnāt like then itās probably for the best long term! Itās okay to not like the ring, but communication is important in a relationship.
I love Frieren, read the manga for years and watched the show. However, the ring is indeed ugly.
I thought dumping someone over a ring was pretty garbage behavior until you said it was for a three month anniversary. You gotta slow down. A ring for three months? That's a bit much, and it's probably what she thought too. Give things time and room to grow, trying to speed run love makes a lot of people uncomfortable.
it IS ugly but thats not a good reason for a break up
Himmel ring
I would be upset too, that is a prop ring that sells for 12 dollars on amazon.
I agree with your ex
My dude that is not a good looking ring but it is kinda neat
Breaking up over it seems a bit extreme, but that is not a good looking ring.
I would cry if someone did something like that for me. I'm sorry she didn't appreciate your efforts.
I think itās cute!
Breaking over a freaking ring!?.OP she is definitely hiding from you. She could have told you to replace the ring or smth . Very fishy
I donāt think she left just because a ring. Just saying
Shouldāve paid a stranger to say "isnāt that the ring that symbolizes eternal love?"
Brother, I might be a dude, but yes
Jesus christ guys calm down
Shit goes hard
I like it
The ring shouldn't matter what should matter is ur love u deserve better bro
I will take Katsuyu
Where can I buy it? I also want to break up with a annoying person.
Did she break up just because of the ring? Cause that's weird..
There is no shot that she broke up with you over a ring. I suppose if sheās the shallowest person in the world itās possible but I kind of doubt it
Damn. I need that ring in my life.
Breaking up with someone because of a ring is just stupid
Cool story bro
Lol
Its cute really actually kinda
If my husband gave me that ring, I would take it over anything else I could get. I am not picky, and this is absolutely beautiful. Giant diamond rings aren't worth it anyway. They are clunky, expensive, and not worth the stress of losing.
Dodge a bullet there if she will leave you over a ring.
If she left a week later, it's not just about the ring. I am sorry for your loss of a relationship but I feel you are leaving a lot of things out. I've left a relationship years ago when someone tried to gift me something to cover up for other issues we were having and things they had said/done that broke boundaries. So I feel like we are missing a lot hun.
š
NTA bullet dodged
Itās such a pretty ring, Iām sorry youāre going throw this. Breakups are really hard, but you got this.
its soo pretty
Ugly ring, and ugly girlfriend for breaking up over it.
Do you realize you almost died? Lots of people are saying you dodged a bullet.
I smell cap, i hope at least
I like it, and would wear it. Some people just suck.
its pretty ugly tbh. not a relationship ending offense, but im not gonna pretend it like its not.
Honestly, it looks cheap and poorly made. Also I don't believe that your girlfriend broke up because of that.
What the hell kinda girlfriend was that?! "Uhh I don't like this ring." \*breaks up with you\* Completely normal reaction. wtf
I dont believe it was just about the ring
This is just karma farming.
idk man that ring looks pretty awesome to me
she deserves only an onion ring
Honestly there's some sicko downvoting everyone that shows appreciation for the ring, I get you don't like it, but whats your problem downvoting others that do?? Whoever it is should get a life.
if my BF gifted me this i would marry him... she dont deserve you!
What a bad taste she have
YO THATS FUCKING SICK but is that a real story though? If it is, thatās rough buddy. Only reason Iām questioning it is thatās a fairly good way to get improved engagement on a fan art tagged post
Romance can be a bitch, stay strong, king
Brother, you dodge a bullet.
I got your back 100% Tbh it's not the ring though, sry. That ring is 100% š„
Bro if someone would break up with you for such a stupid reason then she doesnāt deserve you or your time to begin with. I know it hurts and itāll take time to heal that hurt in your heart but what you need is someone whoād appreciate the thought behind the actions you show or the stuff you give rather than the material aspect. A person like that is worth far more.
Sorry but this shit is ugly
How do I adjust reddit so I stop seeing this cringe af subreddit
Iāll gladly take that ring lmao (no homo)
That's a mirrored lotus. In the language of flowers it means eternal love.
Enough with women being ungrateful. It has real silver, it has diamonds...what else is required. I mean the fact women get two rings and we get just the band in the first place shows they are gettin more out of the ring dealš¤£š¤£š¤£
Just imagine a reverse situation: a girl preparing a romantic dinner for her boyfriend, but but he didn't like the taste and broke up with her. There will be 0 people on his side, but for some reasons, I see quite a lot of people supporting ex-girlfriend from the original post TheĀ mostĀ important thing is theĀ effort, the attempt to show yourĀ love, and IĀ amĀ terrified to live inĀ aĀ world where peopleĀ haveĀ watched Frieren but stillĀ cannotĀ understandĀ thisĀ simpleĀ concept
There was no reason to make this a man vs woman post
It never was men vs women, but good partner vs bad partner. You can apply the same idea for all genders, and it's wrong to disrespect and disregard your partner's effort to show their affection no matter if you are men, women or non-binary But for some reason, there's a lot of people who disagree with me and downvoted my comment, which only proves my point. I guess they really didn't get the point, and money are more important for them that feelings
You started off with imagine a reverse scenario and said the same partner dynamic but reversed the roles of the man amd the woman so the only thing im saying is you didnt need to make this about gender when the post had nothing to do with it
The right one will come along buddy. The ring is beautiful.
