A BRIDE-TO-BE has divided opinion after revealing plans to trade in her \u201csmall and basic\u201d engagement ring.<\/p>\n
The woman, from Scotland, is newly engaged but has admitted she hates the ring her fianc\u00e9 popped on her finger.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a Facebook post, she asked: \u201cHas anyone not liked the ring?\u201d<\/p>\n
She then added: \u201cI feel awful but I really dislike mine, it\u2019s very small and basic and it really doesn\u2019t suit me at all.<\/p>\n
\u201cHas anyone changed their ring? How did it go and why did you do it?\u201d<\/p>\n
But many people have urged her to stick with the ring she already has, branding her \u201churtful\u201d for even considering a swap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One said: \u201cI couldn't do it, it's just a ring at the end of the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour partner and relationship is more important and the thought of saying that to him and hurting his feelings hurts me more than caring about jewellery.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust pick a wedding ring that suits, there's so many ways to bring rings together.\u201d<\/p>\n
A second agreed: \u201cI think it\u2019s hurtful to change it, it\u2019s a gift from him to you asking for your hand in marriage so I\u2019m sure you can see the beauty in that.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019d be happy with a hula hoop\u201d, another fumed.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a fifth insisted: \u201cMy engagement ring meant more to me because he went to all the effort and stress to pick it for me and I'm the fussiest person for jewellery.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI didn't love it at the time but it means more to me now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Others, however, are firmly on the woman\u2019s side and offered advice on how to break the news to her man.<\/p>\n \u201cI would 100% tell him in a constructive way\u201d, one said.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a big investment for him money wise, so he will want to be sure you like it and he probably felt out of his depth choosing!<\/p>\n \u201cAlso, it\u2019s something you\u2019re going to be wearing everyday for the rest of your life, so you\u2019re best having something that you love and feel comfortable wearing.\u201d<\/p>\n A second wrote: \u201cIf you really don\u2019t like it, and can\u2019t see yourself growing to like it then speak to your fianc\u00e9, but exchange it for something within the same price range as you don\u2019t want him thinking it\u2019s about it not being expensive enough.\u201d<\/p>\n Another admitted: \u201cMine was small and if I\u2019m honest made me a bit angry because he wasn\u2019t short of money but spent as little as he could get away with!\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI took it back to the shop he got it from who part exchanged it for a bigger version. I never said a word and neither did he – if he even noticed?!\u00a0<\/p>\nAlex Scott is dating Jess Glynne \u2013 & they\u2019ve secretly been together for months<\/h3>\n
