When somebody on the internet complains about their engagement ring, it&#39;s usually safe to assume that they&#39;re superficial snobs (or, you know, ethical about blood diamonds).An engaged woman asked<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/i0mq7h/aita_for_not_wanting_a_ring_my_fianc%C3%A9_already/"> &quot;Am I The A**hole?&quot;</a> asking if she&#39;s wrong to not want to wear the ring that her fianc&eacute; had previously given his ex.

We&rsquo;ve been together a few years and a few days ago, he proposed and I was super excited.
