Possibly controversial opinion, but promise rings are only cute in high school. At this point we’re adults, if you’re gonna give me a ring that promises we’re gonna be together forever, it’s gonna be an engagement ring.

Just call her out on her post if it bugs you so much… no need to be a snide person and make a whole separate post shitting on it. This is mean girl energy. “Maybe I’m a bitch but we shouldn’t sit with Jessica at lunch” instead of telling Jessica how you feel.

I apologize for the timing of this post. I shouldn’t have made it with the cute promise ring post that’s up right now. I let my feelings get the best of me and didn’t think of how it would affect the girl who just got the promise ring she’s been wanting. My opinion remains the same, but I should’ve let her be happy and waited a few days to post this. I’m sorry.

Exactly!! Like, the sentiment is cute and sweet and all, but especially by the time you’re in your 20s, it’s not the same feeling as if you were in high school

I’m not intending to target her specifically though. Yes her post is what made me finally actually post this, but it’s a thought I’ve had many many times. It’s not specifically about her, so I didn’t feel the need to make it seem like it is a problem I have with her. If she likes it and she’s happy, I’m happy for her. I personally just don’t like the idea of promise rings as adults.

Possibly controversial opinion, but this wasn’t about her until you guys made it about her. It was my opinion, and I’m allowed to post anything I want. My friends have known my opinions on this for a long time. There’s no need to start a whole fight. We’re all allowed to feel different ways and have our opinions
