Well as long as she's happy then whatever. I am just reading it as being extremely naive.

Earning the the money (working hard hours intellectually or labourously) saving that money and budgetting in order to get your loved one something special, Or just making her a coffee in the morning. GOD you're dumb. He should be doing that anyways and loving you unconditionally. Thats what true love is. You'll only find out what true love is when the going gets tough. Otherwise your living in fairy land. |
hmm, you seem to be a person that's very considerate & thinks about their partner..you think love is when things get tough & how you handle the situation.. i hope i marry a person like that one day.. |

Love should be unconditional and if you're putting conditions on your wallet it demonstrates that your finances take precedent to the one you love. Granted it doesnt mean be an idiot but it means invest in her. Make her happy. Do the little things and also show her the big things that tell her she is the one. If that means an hour long massage, buying her jewlery that you can budget for and afford (not 1 cent candies from the corner store). Knowing the little things that she likes, paying attention doing them for her once in a while. If you can paint let her sit naked, or with clothes, and take a couple of hours and draw her portrait. Tell her how beautiful she is. Comprimise for her once in a while. Take time to listen to what she wants. Go down on her, when your finished go again until she's satisfied and treat her like she is the world to you.
To those that disagree i think wallmart has a special on cubic zirconia's lol |

| i just think everyone who says they are ok with a crap ring won't actually feel the same if their loved one presented them with it. i'm very practical but the ONE thing i want is a nice engagement ring, if i don't get something good and within our means i'd be truly insulted. |

If you intend to marry her, aren't they going to be her finances too?
The inanity of "investing" in a decorative chunk of carbon aside, that money could have been part of a down payment on a house or a nice vacation, and if you're getting married then the opportunity cost is as much hers as it is yours. The reality is that the person to whom you're really giving the benefit of your labor isn't the recipient of the ring, it's the recipient of the cash. |

Lbs do not equal £, tard.
Secondly, you have no idea of what love is if you think it's characterised by an expensive ring, and that's irrespective of a person's wealth.

On the contrary, if a woman really loves a man she will not let finances take precedence over love. |

I wonder how many people have said this and later got divorced. Everyone wants to make an exception of himself. Yeah, those other people, they don't know what "true love" is, but I do, so my marriage is bound to be awesome. |
While I agree partially with this because no one can predict how they and their partner will change in the future, people are amazingly retarded when it comes to relationships.
I know quite a few couples who seem to break up every year and get back together, others where one partner steals money or possessions from the other, couples where one of them throws a tantrum and disappears home on nights out, couples who have physical fights on a weekly basis, et cetera. I'm not talking about bad patches (we all have those), but constant and fundamental discord between the two halves.
These people often go on to marry, when everyone around them can plainly see that it's a mistake. Do people like this feel like they are truly in love, or are they rushing into marriage because they feel it's necessary or that they can't do any better? |

yep. why would you voluntarily live in a tier house (or with a higher mortgage) in order to pay for weddings and rings?
getting married
having children
employing krypton or ********
financial disasters waiting to happen. |

| Ok I'm sorry...I'm going to have to call bull on every girl in this thread saying that the price of the ring doesn't matter. Bulling. You're all a bunch of goddamn liars and nothing you can say will ever change my mind. Sorry. |

It took quite a bit of convincing, on my part, to get my fiance to get the wedding ring she liked. It wasn't that expensive, she just thought it was too much to pay for something so simple as 'a ring'.
So, Bas, I have a few questions for you.
1) How much money do you think is acceptable to spend on an engagement ring?
2) How much money do you think is acceptable to spend on a wedding ring?
3) How much money do you think your gf would find 'acceptable' on either/both of the above (considering you both have a rather serious financial commitment together now)?
4) Have you ever imagined me naked, and would that have an influence on your jewellery purchases? |
