So my amazing partner proposed to me at the start of this year and we both decided to go chose the ring together. In short the beginning of the engagement was very hectic with all the pressure and excitement from the people around us. My fiance and I also had the stress of us both coming from very different backgrounds so my side is the type to splurge whereas his side doesnt value putting money into a wedding.
So I felt very nervous when picking the ring because when at the beginning I tried a ring on that was above the budget we had set together it stressed my fiance. With all the stress I quickly picked the nicest ring that fit the budget.
Basically, my issue now is I feel negative when I look at the ring because although it is beautiful I feel as though I didnt allow myself the freedom to explore and actualy find out what ring I would really want. My fiance has noticed and I can tell he feels bad especially after he heard my family comment on wanting to give me more money to get a more expensive ring. He keeps offering to get me a more expensive ring but I keep refusing because I feel like its too late to change the ring now given ive been wearing it for a while and I want him to know that the most important thing is his love not the ring.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and do you have any tips on how to overcome the negative feelings?
