Ladies, should the size or price of the engagement ring / "rock" matter? If your man isn't financially equipped or doesn't know the "rock" / ring of your dreams and yet proposes, would you accept or decline?

This article is inspired by an interesting story I heard from a close friend about a guy who proposed to his 2 year girlfriend with a ring which could be referred to as a "Full Stop" or a " Dot ring" i.e the rock was so small and displeasurable to her.
She said YES and accepted the ring but didn't wear it often or put the standard ring finger picture on social media. After a few weeks her boyfriend got angry and confronted her about not posting the ring out there or telling anyone, she lashed out and said this isn't the ring of "my" dreams.

They got into a fight which eventually led to their breakup. My question; Should or does the size of the ring or rock matter in saying yes to your man?

This issue requires a situational approach or solution as we all have different personalities, family background, or orientations. Psychologically and in my opinion a ring should serve as a symbol of love or an interest in starting a new life with another person.

The Price of the ring should be based on ur pocket or account at the time, if a big or small ring comes, it's the gesture / idea that someone wants to spend the rest of their life with you that matters. Most guys want to give their lady a big rock but what if there are more pressing issues like rent, business projects, health issues, will a man leave these things or empty his account for a Big Diamond Rock?

As a couple you can always upgrade your ring in time as you grow financially. Social media and competition amongst friends has made it a " sine qua non" I.e an essential for ladies to have a big rock.

Some ladies that have been proposed to ; change the way they walk or place their fingers a certain way so the world can see. If that ring was very small/tiny/cheap, would u walk and put your hand in a way that will blind our eyes? Do what works for you in your own clime. Don't pass on Love or a good man because of variable which can be made a constant in time

I see dis happening to an ex-governor of river state and a seating president. but nor be ring go cause d fight sha! lolzz

Time don reach wey ladies go dey contribute money to buy all those engagement rings. Ring of your dreams my foot. The need for marriage is not exclusive to men.

.. I dont see anything.. ..

hmm... Oda people dey find husband she dey here dey select ring.... Well,i dont think d guy is her priority though..

maybe the guy think the ring will be special to her, since they say women like uncommon/special things

that lady is sick.
let her wait for the ring of her dream when she is 40.
that time, she would be begging for a plastic ring.

Check my signature for ur customised wristband

She's still under 30 I guess and she never ready to marry

Mtsheww

Her village witches will give her a spiritual husband soon

She does not really love him.

Let's be honest.....the depth of love does not depend on the size or beauty of the ring.

He should be glad he didn't end up with an ingrate/shediot as a wife.

O da si ni o

They're both not ready, it's cases like this one will say a broken engagement is better than a broken marriage, they should both grow up!!!

But she accepted the thing isn't it and said yes so i don't get what the guy's problem is, if it is not about the ring itself, why does it then matter whether she wears it or not, if she says yes to marrying you. Plan your wedding and move on.

Smh

She wants to live a celebrity lifestyle.



I guess she wanted a 30 carat diamond RINNGGGGG..., cost a whopping 50,000 dollars.



LUBBISH.

I keep telling these kids to have value defined priorities. They won't listen.

"ring of my dreams"
Dunno whether to cry or laugh...

Gerrarahere...

When some of her colleagues here in Nigeria are running from one spiritual house to the other praying for a man that will even give them plastic ring,(some won't even mind buying the ring and giving it to the man to propose to them);this one is there rejecting ring.hian!

Nawa ooo..she will wait for a very long time to get the ring of her supposed dream

There are couples who are blessed financially and their marriage was blessed with a bible..the guy didn't propose with a ring

Nigerian Couple? why are Chinese looking pictures there..
