THE INTERNET has completely trolled a woman and labeled her as “spoiled” after she complained about her engagement ring online.

The woman claimed she had her boyfriend make a custom ring but it didn’t meet her expectations, so she wants a new one.

The woman, who shared her story on Reddit, said she and her boyfriend got engaged after dating for four years.

She also explained that she had dreamed of her wedding and engagement ring since she was a kid, and made it very clear to her now-fiancé what she expected in a ring.

“Around high school age, I drew out an engagement ring that I thought I’d like. 

“When we started dating and decided we loved each other, I showed him my sketch and he was excited because he said that was what he’d have picked for me,” she explained.

As it often goes, the woman’s tastes changed as she got older.

So, she drew up a new sketch of her dream engagement ring after she and her boyfriend dated for a year.

“I now wanted a rose gold hammered band, with three purple/pink raw stones,” she said, noting that she and her fiancé would go over her expectations “every six months.”

Unfortunately, the woman claimed that the constant communication didn’t result in her dream engagement ring when it came time for the special event.

“He proposed with a rose gold twig band with a black raw stone. 

“Black. He says it’s a blue stone but it looks black in 99 percent of light,” she complained. 

She continued: “There were so many things that just didn’t fit my dream about the whole engagement situation, but the ring feels like the straw that has broken my back and I’m questioning if I even want to get married anymore now because my brain is spiraling.

“I told him I didn’t like the ring and he was heartbroken.”

Plus, when the woman and her man took the ring back to the jeweler, they were told it could not be exchanged because it was custom-built. 

The upset bride-to-be said she and her future husband spoke about adding a second stone to her ring, but she feels that no alteration will make her happy.

Now, they’ve avoided the topic for six months because they both get frustrated when it comes up.

She concluded: “Even if we didn’t get married I’d stay with him forever. 

“But every time I look at this ring I just get so freaking sad and I don’t know what to do.”

The internet surely had some options, and one of them involved therapy.

“You need to see a therapist about how to reconcile reality with your expectations or your marriage will end in divorce,” one person urged, with dozens more agreeing.

Others completely tore the bride-to-be apart, with one reader calling her a “spoiled brat.”

“A custom engagement ring can be wildly expensive. 

“Your constantly changing taste makes it sound like you may be hard to please,” another person speculated.

“If you are considering canceling the wedding because of this, please consider why. 

“It sounds like maybe you aren’t ready to be married.”

Yet another shocked Reddit user said: “I predict that you’ll be the queen of bridezillas and call off the wedding at the altar ’cause the flowers are bubblegum pink and not tickle me pink and the butterflies won’t fly in a heart formation!

“Keep it up and you won’t have to call off the wedding, you’ll make that poor guy run away so far hell actually join the Peace Corps or foreign legion just to get away.”

After reading the harsh criticism, the woman updated her post to thank people for their input and said she would in fact be going to therapy to help with her high expectations. 

Of course, she is far from the first bride to be trolled for acting in an unpleasant manner about her wedding. 

One bride banned her bridesmaids from getting pregnant before her wedding and gave an expensive list of requirements for events leading up to her special day.

Her ridiculous demands caused five bridesmaids to drop out of her wedding.

Plus, another bride was dubbed “immature” for being mad at her parents for not covering the cost of her entire wedding.
