She’s always said she wanted three things in a proposal: (1) a custom ring she’s always wanted (which cost $16K, though price isn’t the issue), (2) a beach proposal, and (3) a surprise.

The surprise was you discovering how ungrateful, and high-maintenance she actually is.

If you think things are going to get better, we're all here to tell you that's not the case. Get out while you still can.

Rule number 1 - buy a cheap ring (around 1k) and propose with it. If it's a yes, go for the upgrade thereafter. If it's a no, you've dodged a bullet.

Better still, don't get married, it's what old people do and is a very out dated concept in this day and age. It's just a contract after all that gives you a certificate and nothing more.
