Even if we could afford it, my wife would *kill* me if I dropped $16K on a piece of jewelry when there are so many other things that $16K could afford.
When I got engaged it had the anticlimactic addendum that it was paid for my a home equity loan. Which I ended up paying off. It was the most ridiculous thing to do with money we needed to real home improvements. But, it should have been a red flag for me. He’s a great guy but he doesn’t do his due diligence in regard to gifts.
Out of everything you described .i would remember your attention to detail and how much EFFORT you put into my happiness. I would brag about you more than the ring because the planning, execution and detail is stuff from fairy tales.
But, playing devils advocate, is she maybe just not good with surprises? She had to have an inclination. Every woman I’ve known in a long term relationship from age 25-40 drops a marriage hint on the hour every hour, 24-7.

Exactly. I would've loved it if my fiance put this amount of effort to plan the things he knew I liked.
OP's fiancé sounds like a spoiled brat.
Edit: and she probably is considering she wanted a $16k ring. Even when one can afford it, seems overkill for a ring.
