The reality is she’s probably trying to tell you don’t give her enough attention. Unless she’s constantly wanting to buy more expensive shite, I doubt she’s that hung up in the ring itself.

Just give her time to cool off, go back say you’re sorry, even though you have no reason to be other than believing this is actually about a ring, and plan something nice for her.

Point is she feels like you don’t value her much anymore and probably insecure because of it. The ring nonsense is just a vessel to tell you this.

Tell her to give you the ring so you can upgrade it and get a huge cubix ziconian installed

This. Just look at the rings women post/save/share on Pinterest. They’re $40k+ rings. Many women have no idea how expensive multi-carat rings are. I imagine it’s because the photos on your jeweler’s website are super zoomed in and detailed to make it look large.

OP should just tell her if it’s that important to impress other women with a huge ring (weird), get a Moissanite and nobody will know the difference.

A wife going on non stop about some obscene diamond ring is the perfect reason for an argument.

Sometimes they need a dose of reality.
I think some of you are missing what I'm saying. I'm not saying that she's right at all. I'm just saying the conversation should have just been, "Do you know how much a 3 carat diamond costs? We can't afford that" and that's it. There's no argument there.

I hit on this earlier. If this whole scenario showed us anything, it is that his wife is insecure.

You bit right into that one. You know why you can't afford a bigger ring? Because you're dumb as a rock.

May be time to think about upgrading wives instead of diamonds.

So yesterday, my wife (no pics, sorry) comes home from a workout class going on and on about the size of the diamond ring another lady in the class had. We have been married for a long time and she knows I can’t afford to buy her a 3 or 4 karat diamond ring. But she won’t let it go. I told her that the lady is probably somebody’s 2nd wife because the 2nd wife gets a bigger ring (married later in life and probably had more money than I did when we married just after college). She then explodes and starts turning it around like I said that I would buy my 2nd wife a bigger ring than the one I bought her. Pure irrational BS!

You fricked up marrying someone that cares so deeply about something like this.

That's a HUGE red flag.

My wife wears a simple unadorned gold band. It was her grandmother’s ring from the old country and all she wanted to wear. No stones. No other rings.

Young bucks out there, choose very, very carefully. A marriage partner has to know to set aside childish things likes stones and vanity. And my condolences to the OP.

Women are emotional creatures. So getting pissed over something petty and stupid and should have expected and running to a message board is being a baby. I don’t see the value of an expensive ring. You are co m in to his defense but don’t even understand what you’re fighting for.

And I think it’s stupid to get pissed over petty shite. She’s materialistic. He knew that when he married her. If he didn’t that’s shame on him. But what is he gonna do? Be pissed for a day? A week? A month? For what just to say he was pissed and got affirmation to be pissed by a bunch of random dudes on a message board. That’s just low emotional maturity. Especially for an argument that’s not gonna mean anything or probably even remember a year from now.

Y’all just like to get pissed over the very thing. Must be some miserable people. And no not getting upset over trivial shite doesn’t mean a cuck mentality. It makes me a happier person and I don’t worry myself over trivial shite. Baby’s and children worry over trivial shite. So stop being a baby, grow up and stop worry about trivial shite.

You should have said, "She probably does waaay more stuff than you do."

If women didn't have a Pu$$y there would be a bounty on them because they are all crazy.

1. No. It was funny

2. It was disrespectful to your lifelong commitment

3. Not at all mad. She is a woman. They are trifling. Yours isn’t special

I'll have a talk with her tonight. That's a little unreasonable.
