My boyfriend’s annual income is over 200,000 and he proposed using Temu

A woman posted on Reddit after discovering her engagement ring wasn’t what she thought it was.

Although she initially thought the ring was beautiful, red flags began to fly when questions about specific details kept being avoided.

Eventually, she discovered that the ring had been purchased for Temu for $38. But does it really matter?

“I really don’t want to wear it”

“I asked him where he came from [the ring] He wouldn’t tell me where, but he said he got a lot out of it,” the woman shared.

“I never thought about it until yesterday. We were lying in bed and I asked him if it was a diamond or a moissanite, mostly out of curiosity… He said he didn’t know and had to look it up. When I looked at his phone At the time, he was using the Temu app. I asked him if he got it from there and he didn’t answer so I asked again and his response was “Does it matter?” “Then left the room and ended up sleeping on the couch.”

The post said the woman’s fiancé made about $200 a year, leading her to believe the price had nothing to do with his frugality.

“I’ve had people message me saying this ring could be bad for my health and Temu has terrible standards for jewelry and labor issues, so now I really don’t want to wear it,” she added in the update.

In a new addition to the post, the woman said that after a series of conversations around the ring, her fiancé suggested she pick out a new ring herself and buy it with her own money.

“If you marry him, this will be your future”

Most commenters on the post agreed with the woman, expressing more concern about the quality of the ring and the thought behind it than the price.

“Normally I would celebrate people who don’t believe all engagements/weddings have to break the bank, but $38?” one commenter said.

“As we say in the UK, I’m very stingy with money, but I would spend a little more than that and at least buy a fairly high-carat gold ring and save the gemstones.”

Another said: “Ring Pop is more romantic than Temu’s ring.”

Others urged the woman to consider whether she should move in with him.

“If you marry him, this will be your future,” one said.

“He’s showing you who he really is. He’s cheap and now wants you to buy your own ring.”
