If that's all he can afford then yes. Its the love and thought that counts. There are people out there that got married with a very big and expensive rimg and end up getting a divorce the same year they got married. Of course I would want a nice ring with a big diamond, but if he has a good head on his shoulders and thats all he can afford right now, then thats okay. Look at it this way, there are people that can't even get there love one to purpose... or commit. he's willing to do that. Maybe save up for the ring you want later on down the line...

When my husband and I got engaged, he had just been in a traffic accident and had not been working for several months. He still managed to get down on one knee, despite his injuries, and he asked me to marry him without any ring at all. I said yes, and a few days later we went to a jeweler and picked out a small and simple diamond ring. I paid for it myself. Later on when he was back on his feet he bought me a gorgeous wedding ring. We have been together for almost 20 years now, and we are as happy as ever. So yes, I would.
He's giving his life to you and the ring is a representation of that... if he's living within his means, not mortgaging the house to get you a ring that looks like a knuckleduster, he's got a good sensible head on his shoulders
I would only be disappointed that he didn't get me something more my style. Not because of the size or price. The ring itself is just ugly and engagement rings should be personal to me, not expensive. Of course I would say yes because it's just a ring and marriage is more than just a ring but I would be disappointed because I felt like he didn't put much effort into getting something that I want. By the way, I want a cheap and small engagement ring as well lol
Well it just looks a wee bit awkward on the hand. If it didn't look so awkward I wouldn't mind. But yes, if it was someone who I truly loved and they proposed to me with that ring I would still say yes because I loved them.
Yes I would accept it, if I wanted to marry him. It doesn't matter the size of the diamond on the ring, if I love him and want to marry him, I will. Regardless of ring size.
No, simply because it makes it seem like he was in a rush to buy something. He can always save up for a decent-size ring. Also makes it look like he didn't put any thought into it.
What's it to you. ? You can call it how you see it I don't care. Because like I stated before you don't know her and you don't know me and I'm being very honest. Now if I truly truly loved that person a ring wouldn't even matter but I wouldn't wanna be a disappointment to her. @Touglyforfemales
Like you said just being honest. You just contradict yourself First you say My aunt told me to say No if the ring is less than 5 carats So I'd say NO. Then you feed me this crap Now if I truly truly loved that person a ring wouldn't even matter. But of course it would have to be 5 ctw or above.
I said I'd say no so I wouldn't be a disappointment. But I didn't feel like typing that into my original comment. Now what's it to you. ? That's not crap. If I did love someone which won't happen anytime soon it doesn't have to be a huge ring. Heck we could get matching tattoos. You might call her a gold digger but she has never ever had any trouble in the relationship department. Just saying... 😙 @Touglyforfemales
Once. Now why does that matter. ? @Touglyforfemales she taught me a lot growing up so I really don't appreciate you calling us *cough cough* "gold diggers". I'd marry a rich man but he doesn't have to be super rich. The difference between ma and a good digger is I'm not gonna leave my man just cause he's broke. I would've already prepared for that. @Touglyforfemales
Um no that's not true. He doesn't have to be a billionaire or millionaire he could just have a really good job. Here I'll give you an example. At the age of 13 I met my family members "lawyer" I have the biggest crush on him he's 50 at the time he was 48. I told my aunt because she likes him too anyways she told him what I said and when I saw him again I told him I've been looking at tiffany wedding rings and he chucked and said man you're expensive. I simply told him he should start saving up. My point is I'm not a gold digger I'm not that high maintenance but I do have high standards. @Touglyforfemales he's not broke by the way either. 😉
Not a gold digger? Ok lets go back. You only found him attractive because he's a lawyer, if he flipped burgers he wouldn't be attractive. And you will only except a ring that is 5 carts of above.
Why do you make so many assumptions. Let me put this in other words if the man was homeless he would still be FINE ok the man is absolutely handsome. I'm simple stating what she taught me. I don't wanna disappoint anyone and he already knows this opsure he laughs because I'm much younger than him. He's very easy on the eyes. @Touglyforfemales I can't live off love. He makes about $180k per year now that's not rich... He's well off but not rich.
Well if the man was Homeless you and every other female on here wouldn't even look at him. And $180k a yr is not good enough? Most are luck to make $40k.
Well you make do with what you have I would I would propose with a half way decent ring bu that's just me, but hey if that's all you can afford it's the though behind it that counts right?
Definitely, I think it's really cute. I would never expect a guy to buy me a really expensive engagement ring. I'd only say no if I didn't want to marry him.
If a person makes a bigger deal about the stupid ring than what it's supposed to represent I hope the other person realizes how worthless that person is and dumps them for someone better.
