How do you feel about asking for a different engagement ring?

Sounds to me like you've essentially already asked.

My question is, why didn't he buy it the first time around when you made it clear it was exactly what you wanted?

From the sounds of it, he already knows that he didn't get you what you wanted. So tell him: that's what you would like him to get you.

It sounds like you've already had this conversation, and your fiance had no issue with you asking for the ring you wanted. To me it makes no sense for you to be asking if you "should" feel bad about something unless you actually do feel some guilt about it or someone else has suggested to you that you should feel bad about it.

Fiance doesn't care, so what's the big deal?

I agree with Kari.

I got a new ring only because FH proposed with his mother's old wedding ring which was her e-ring and wedding band soldered together. It was beautiful, but def. not my style, didn't fit (too small), and I didn't like the fact that I was already wearing my e-ring and wedding band together.

He had already told me the day he proposed that he knew it was too small and not my style lol, so we planned a day to go get mine custom made using the ring we already had, plus my mom's old wedding ring as well.

As long as you both are on the same page, and your fiancé hasn't shown or expressed any hurt feelings about it, then I don't see why you can't change it.

I agree with this. It's also why I went with my FH to pick out a ring. We actually had mine put together at a custom show because I was so specific about the stone I wanted (tanzanite).

I've never really understood why guys will pick a different ring than what their SO sends them, but it's probably something you should talk to your FH about sometime.

If this is something that's important to you why don't you talk to him about it in a setting that's not about gifts? Maybe there's something about that ring that he doesn't like for you and there's a reason he's against it. Maybe he wants some input on the ring he gets to get you for your engagement? You're gonna have a long time together to talk through things, so now's a great time to start with something that's a bit smaller!

Ooh I sorta feel...except my ring gives me a rash so I need a totally new style and metal! It makes him upset when I mention it (cause like he PROPOSED with it) so we'll probably wait for an anniversary ring. I think it's strange that your FH proposed with a random one, when you had already shown him exactly what you wanted, but it sounds like he's trying to make it right! It doesn't sound like it's something that needs to be dealt with right now though, so try not to think about it too hard because it doesn't change the love between you
