hi, a year ago my boyfriend bought me an engagement ring. it was a fifty dollar ring, i think real diamonds but im not sure about that. he lied to me told me it cost 400 bucks. for the longest time, i never told him i knew i just kept it inside and ignored it. but it drove me crazy. i caught him talking to his ex a while back and ive had jealously problems with that. i dont mean talking as in normal conversation, more like he wished things were different now if you catch my drift.. but that ended because i asked her how her boyfriend felt about it, and she blocked both our numbers. but nevertheless, one valentines day he bought her a 300 dollar ring that she got to pick out get resized and a dozen red roses. our first valentines i got a crap box of chocolates. but to the point, weve been fighting alot about the ring because i cant ignore how i feel. it makes me feel like trash, that he doesnt love me. he makes about a 1000 every 2 weeks, until last nvoember he didnt have to pay for anything (he pays 500 dollars rent but thats taken out of his paycheck automatically so really hed make about 1500). now he pays 100 to maybe 400 a month on certain bills. he pays for mostly all household things. but when i try to talk to him about the ring he gets nasty, wont talk about it. its not like id want a 500 or thousand dollar ring. ive seen beautiful rings for only 100 some. and 100 isnt a big deal, ive seen him spend more at the liquor store or illegal things. if he somehow couldnt afford to buy me a better ring (even though he can), i would of rather he waited. i hate the way people looked at me when they saw the ring, his family, my family, it made me feel awful. ive cried many times over it but it just makes him angry to hear anything about it.
so is it wrong for me to be upset, should i just accept it & move on? need advice please.
