okay so
my sweet boyfriend 22m bought me 21f a pretty ring for christmas. but i just don’t really like it. i asked for a charm bracelet for my birthday and he got me a bangle- fine. but i don’t feel that this ring is my style at all. it has rhinestones and i’ve never worn that in the time he’s known me on jewelry. am i the asshole if i ask to exchange it for something else ? he’s super sensitive and i don’t wanna hurt his feelings
Are you returning the ring because you wanted something more expensive, or because you don’t like it? Because those are two very different situations.
OP stated in the answer to judgement bot that they wanted something more expensive.
Yes you will hurt his feelings. In your shoes I would never tell him. He’ll never want to buy you jewelry in the future. YTA

This will definitely hurt his feelings
If you don’t like it there’s nothing wrong with it. If you just don’t want it because of the price that can be insulting to him. Maybe keep it and then ask for a specific ring for your birthday that is more suitable to what you want.
Yta you wanted something more expensive. Infact do him a favor and leave him so he can date someone more appreciative of him.
From your own mouth: “I wanted something more expensive.”
Trade in the ring and the boyfriend, then find yourself a sugar daddy who can give you the expensive gifts you really want.

Wow. “I wanted something more expensive.”
I was on your side until I read that. Give your boyfriend the Christmas gift of freedom from you. He deserves someone who could appreciate what he bought but be diplomatic about wanting to exchange it. Your initial reasons were fine — not your style, never worn anything like this before — but it turns out it was too cheap to please you.
Of course his feelings will be hurt. Finding out that your SO is really only in it for the money, especially at this time of year, is devastating. However, it’s better that he find out now.
So yes — YTA.
YTA just for saying that you wanted something more “expensive”.
YTA given your answer to the judgement bot. You didn’t mind the ring but wanted something more expensive. Gross

Props to being the most boring one
It’s just a ring. It was a gift. It’s going to happen that people buy gifts that aren’t EXACTLY what the receiver would have chosen for themselves. Try to look past your picky self to wear the ring and make him happy. Don’t tell everyone you know that the ring is ONLY rhinestones. You are only bf and gf for now, so maybe you can stop asking for gifts that you think will not live up to your standards. Ask for books or similar so that your poor bf can have a gf who actually appreciates the gifts he gives her. YTA
YTA! You’re selfish and just wanting more expensive. You clearly don’t care about your boyfriend
