My OH asked me to marry him a few month's ago bought me a lovely ring. Just after xmas we was in financial difficulties and with a heavy heart we had to pawn my ring.
He promised me soon as we have the money he will get it back, well today he got some unexpected backdated money and come home with a new phone he said he got it from the pawn shop so wasnt expensive even though he doesn't need a new phone.
I then said did you get my ring out he said it was busy i was in a rush, tgen when i asked how much the phone was he didnt reply.
Aibu to be hacked off i thought the ring ment something so basically a phone he didnt even need has took place over my engagement ring he said im been chilldish.

He’s just clearly shown you his priorities so lucky escape if i was you.

DO NOT marry this man

Fantababy · 14/01/2020 19:44

He's told you what he thinks of your engagement. Ditch him.

Firstawake · 15/01/2020 08:08

The ring is a promise of intention, he has none.

What a prick. I’d be furious and very, very hurt. Poor you OP 💐

Highonpotandused · 15/01/2020 08:22

You have been warned what kind of man he is by his behaviour. Proceed at your peril!

GiveHerHellFromUs · 15/01/2020 08:23

You're not his priority OP. At least you've seen that before you married him.

Bluetoothbitch · 15/01/2020 08:23

He’s clearly telling you what he thinks is more important to him, him!

IAmcuriousyellow · 15/01/2020 08:25

That’s you told. I’m sorry. Please please don’t marry him, he hasn’t matured to the point he can control his impulses so he really shouldn’t be married to anyone! And certainly absolutely no babies. Calling YOU childish Shock

BaronessBomburst · 15/01/2020 08:27

Don't marry him. He's feckless with money at best and will make your life a misery. If things are so tight that you have to use a pawn shop, you don't buy a new phone!

Thehogfatherstolemycurry · 15/01/2020 08:29

Yep, he has shown you how important you are to him. Run away.

Whynosnowyet · 15/01/2020 08:30

He obviously is more committed to his phone.
Ltb..

NameChangeNugget · 15/01/2020 08:31

He’s pond life

Instagrump · 15/01/2020 08:37

I'm so sorry. The fact that he has made no attempt to get your engagement ring back says very clearly that he doesn't want you to have it back. The engagement is over.

I'm sorry but after struggling financially and having to pawn even anything at all and then when you do get money again, he blows it on a new phone is more than enough reason for me to not want to plan a future with someone. That's no way to live! I'd foresee a lifetime of money troubles, pawning your stuff and the "Provident lady" popping round every week. That's no life. No future.

MsChatterbox · 15/01/2020 08:45

Sorry OP I wouldn't marry him.

CakeandCustard28 · 15/01/2020 09:01

Bin him off. He’s just shown a phone means more to him than you.

Topseyt · 15/01/2020 09:04

Don't marry him. You are not his priority.

Tombliwho · 15/01/2020 09:07

How lucky that you've been given this chance to see him for what he is before you shackled yourself to him!
Get rid and don't look back.

WhatchaMaCalllit · 15/01/2020 09:23

Take it that he has decided not to marry you but Ms Samsung/Siri instead. That's essentially what he has decided to do as he clearly didn't see getting your ring back as a priority.

MiniEggAddiction · 15/01/2020 09:23

YANBU the phone was a ridiculous purchase regardless of the ring. If only a few weeks ago he was pawing things because he didn't have money why would he get a phone he doesn't need instead of putting money away. The ring issue just makes it even worse. I wouldn't want to marry this guy.
