A friend of mine was whining because her fiancee gave her a $1000 diamond engagement ring. Bobo is hard working, knows his onions, handsome, tall and very religious but above all that she wanted more. She argued that if she meant so much to him, economic recession or not, he would've gone out of his way to get her some ring from $5k and above. My question will be:
Chics:
Will you be annoyed if your man buys a cheap engagement ring for you? Do you think that the quality and size of the rock in the ring is a measure of his love and how important you are to him?
Guys:
Do you attach so much importance to the diamond engagement ring? If you can cormfortably afford a $100,000 diamond ring, will you buy it for her or do you prefer to use the money for something else?
2) If there is a break up from either party, will you ask for your expensive engagement ring back?

Where is your friend let me slap her silly! Is she kidding me? Am sure she's one of those females that want a man to spend what he doesn't have to please her. She's selfish and needs to snap out of it! Where's the love and understanding? A 5k ring is more impt to her than a healthy relationship? What a bunch of crap!

You said it all
It obvious the girl is materialist
Ladies like her are the ones that give women bad names!!!!Shio
She's probably expecting her man to spend $40,000 for the wedding
She sounds like a selfish brat

@chika and Trooe,
Assuming a man can afford that ring cormfortably, will both of you still complain if he buys a cheap one?

No! 1grand engagement ring is good enough. They can invest the money on other important things like the wedding, a house, their future children college funds etc. Again i need to slap her silly  |

Well it does matter, we can replace the ring later or the money for something useful

Human beings can be insatiable. She's milking the guy dry because she knows he loves her so much but how long will it last? |

Yes oh very unappreciative, if the ring is too cheap why don't she add her own money to get a better one, she's just inconsiderate and immature

I never saw my dad wearing a wedding ring. Mum claimed he lost his own 2 weeks after their wedding. Men?  ?? |

This is not about the price of the ring he gave her really
In my opinion, what should be dealt with is the level he placed himself all through the courtship
If I go out with a guy that comes to me in the guise of Usher Raymond, a $5000 ring will even be too small.
If he hasn't been faking all through the courtship, he'll be able to give her a $100 ring without any scratches
Relationships are all about being real.

Personally the size and the nature of the rock is irrelevant,,, but then again, everyones priority is different
If she's so unhappy about the one she's got, she can get one shes's happy with for herself,,,, i really can't stand whiny females

Relationships are all about being real. It has nothing to do with faking. She knows the guy does not make anything more than $60K/PA and honestly it's not the amount he is making that is the problem. Her anger was she believed he should've gone out of his way to show her that she means his whole world. I mean, this is America, he can buy an expensive ring on credit with a 3 -5 yr payment plan. Why do females attach so much importance on a damn ring? Especially after watching American celebrities throw a lavish wedding only to end up in divorce court years later. |

@ Poster Who knows, you friend may have a point there. Tell her to send the 1k ring over so that I can verify how authentic it is.   |

show me that that girl that will love you for who you are and i will show a perfect girl. God, how do we just make statments like we are reading novels. face it nobody can love you for who you are. who are you by the way? who you are means what? do you love her for who she is? @poster that girl is just like the rest of us. she knows her guy is worth more than that and can do better. how many of us here can afford a girl such expensive ring. perhaps we should start crucifying the guy for buying her such a ring. leave her jare. @troOe perhaps your man should but you are ring that is below his worth. wont you feel bad about it? |

1m $ 0r 100m $ ring is nothing. wearing an expensive engagement is not the case but what really comes out from the HEART.

No, i think she's greedy. First of all, a diamond engagement ring is an adopted western culture and shouldnt be the base for our marriage. The Chinese and Indian people do not give diamond rings although they have other expensive things they give that are not like diamonds anyway. There are many rich guys in Niaja, guys that can afford a $1M diamond ring but did not buy their fiancee such because it's not our culture. What will she do next? ask him to buy her $100 rose flower? Nevertheless, i found out that it's those people that buy you expensive stuff that end up treating you like thrash. |
