Each culture has rituals around special events in people's lives: births, marriages, death...engagements.

In much of Europes and areas colonized by Europeans, a ring is an important part of the engagement ritual.

One TikToker, @beefinnagain, recently sparked debate on TikTok when she posted a video about her engagement ring.

You can see her video here:

She shared how she got engaged, hated the ring then figured out a way to tell her then-fiancé, now-husband.

"Everyone who I was close to knew that I wanted a halo."

"When they saw the ring, specifically my mom, she was like, 'How do you like the ring?' I just balled [sic]."

"'I hate it. I don't know what to do. It's not what I wanted."

Folks were immediately turned off by the video, and called her ungrateful, at first.

Many people pointed out, after the comments were turning very negative, she will probably wear this ring a lot in her life and it isn't a crime to want to like the ring.

Even the creator commented to defend her decision.

Many people discussed what they did instead, so they didn't wind up in her situation.

She used the word husband in the video, so evidently this situation resolved itself.
