Reddit user Valleygirl81 shared the relationship problem in a post.

She explained that she was initially confused when she discovered that his proposal ring was a fake jewelry ring.

“According to him, he bought the ring for $4,000, but I found out by chance that it wasn’t real,” she said.

“Mind you, this is comparable to a two-carat diamond for $4,000, which is odd.”

After two jewelers had the ring appraised, they concluded that the ‘diamond’ was made of glass.

“I don’t know if he wanted to test whether he could get away with it with me, but as soon as I asked him about it, he wanted to make it right and let me pick out my own ring (which I did), and he paid for it,” she said.

In his defense he said that he [didn’t] know anything about buying real jewelry or diamonds. I don’t know what to believe, but I trust him because he corrected it so quickly.”

She added that she knew her fiancé had been “branded” by other women in the past.

“I don’t know if he wanted to get away with it or what! I don’t know him as a liar at all, so I choose to trust him.”

In later updates, her fiancé admitted he bought a cheaper ring and lied “because he was afraid of losing me.”

“He thought he could trade it in for the real thing later. I’m so sad knowing he lied to me,” she said.

Despite the betrayal, she was more than willing to forgive him after talking, especially since it was the first problem in their year of dating.

“Guys, this man worships the ground I walk on, and this is literally the first mistake he’s made in the year we’ve been together,” she said.

“He didn’t have the money and was too ashamed to admit it. I know no one wants to be defined by their biggest mistake, and he knows how wrong what he did was and has been in tears and apologetic.

In his defense he said that he [didn’t] know everything about buying real jewelry or diamonds.

“I love this man, ring or no. Marriage or no. That’s very rare.”

However, critics felt she left too quickly.

“Your edits don’t make it better. Red flag,” said one commenter.

“Please be careful with this man. You may not think so, but you are making a lot of excuses for him and possibly blaming a store instead of the person buying the ring,” said another.

“We all want to think the best of our partners, but after all this, can you still trust him? Do you really want to?”

Others encouraged her to cancel the wedding altogether.

“Don’t marry this man,” said one.

“I think he’s a liar, and you need to run. Holy red flag. There won’t be a receipt, honey,” said another.
