My DP proposed to me a few weeks ago and we bought a ring that we both love. He told his ex-wife over the phone (which I knew he was going to do) and she passed on her congratulations. Just to be completely transparent, my DP left her for me, but they have remained friendly, mainly because of their now-adult daughter, but also because of their shared profession. I have always been supportive of this friendship, as I know it is beneficial to their daughter. The ex is also engaged, and getting married to her long-term partner later this year. The ex-wife called my DP a few days ago and they had quite a long chat. During this she asked him how much he had spent on my engagement ring. Whilst I am cross with DP for telling her, I am furious with her for asking. I have never asked my closest friends how much their engagement rings cost, as it’s none of my business. This has caused a huge row between us as he has said I should just get over it, but it’s really annoyed me that there are now three people who know how much my ring cost, and one of them is his ex! Am I overreacting, or is this really crossing the line by her (and also him to be so dismissive of how upset I am)?
Yes I ABU to object to her asking this (and him telling her)
No I ANBU to feel pretty pissed off with both of them
NC as it’s all very outing!
