The girl who came to stay asked:


My boyfriend, well now fiancee, proposed to me recently. I have been waiting for this for quite a while and I am very excited. We are very young, I am 17, and he can’t afford the “traditional” diamond engagement ring. The ring he got me is actually a “promise ring” but we saw it one day while we were shopping and I fell in love with it. It is a very small carat size (1/7) and when people see it they just say “Oh.” or “Thats cute.” It hurts my feelings a lot and I’m not sure how to deal with their reactions. What would you do/ say? Have any of you had a similar problem?
We wouldn’t actually be getting married for 4+ years, for all you saying I’m too young.
To “Meh”- I love my ring, it’s just other people who don’t. I can tell by the way they look at me or say it. My problem is I get very hurt about their reactions and I don’t know what to say.

Thanks to all who are giving me great answers.
