I would shop together with her on what she wants. A nice Tiffany ring looks a lot better than a diamond. in my opinion
Plus with all the controversy of blood diamonds. Yes its very petty, and like some the ladies have said that money could be used for better things.
Just what the fuck has the size of a diamond ring got to do with being proposed to?
Genuine Love comes long before any Monetary Values.
I understand that. But why would you go cheap ass on something that your partner would only get once, a marriage ring
A marriage ring is usually just a band of gold.
Why spend a bunch a money on that instead of putting it toward a house?
Depends on if she's willing to accept a lab grown diamond. Lab diamonds are chemically identical to their mined counterparts, only they are much cheaper and you know for a fact they did not come from conflict zones or child labor. They are of the same hardness and have the same luster. They are actual diamonds, only they were not pulled from the Earth. If your fiancé is willing to accept a lab grown diamond, then your ability to afford a diamond of size becomes much greater.
Pretty much. Giving (diamond) rings is I reckon an old European tradition. I was born in America and live in Africa. Expecting so expensive jewellery is materialism. I love how my old fiancée just wanted a ring of any price, made of any jewel.
Yes, because it's literally putting a price on the relationship. Plus diamond resale is garbage. In the old days it was a hand forged ring or a metal band ring, no gemstone. Gemstones were known to be for royalty & nobles who had an immense amount of money. Plus a promise item doesn't have to be a ring.
Nah. That’s a red flag for me. If you expect elegance and grandeur… you are not the right person to be with… if she can’t provide that stuff for herself, she doesn’t need it from me. No women are relationship is worth that much early on. Maybe 15 or 20 years down the road when she continues to do the things that kept me attracted to her and keeps me coming back. Then sure
Yes its petty. If you want a super expensive ring, buy it yourself. Marriage should be about love and having to spend an arm and a leg on an object as meaningless as a ring is ridiculous. You dont even need a ring to get married.
Every woman has a little girl inside, what's wrong for a little girl yearning for fairy tales' elements in her life?
And a diamond is too specific, personally I'd rather a silver ring with green saphir.
You shouldn't need a huge diamond to convince her that you love her truly. My parents have the closest thing to a perfect marriage I know of. My dad didn't even get my mom an engagement ring. Probably because he didn't exactly propose. He just asked her if she wanted to get married. She did and they had the equivalent of a shotgun wedding.
Fuck that shit. That's a hell of a way to start off a marriage. Getting her trained to expect expensive gifts.
Cheap ass
@anon1903 hahahahaha
@anon1903 Bite me.
hard pass on a woman who is materialistic to this degree, if that woman NEEDS such a status symbol she is probably unhappy with something else in her life. The happiest people you will ever meet dont rely on material things for their joy.
Rings are mostly useless trash except for the person selling it 😂 so yes. But if the fiance has extra money to waste and will make her happy then it isn't petty.
As long as the ring is nice and she likes it then that's fine.
Plenty of rings out there.
She may not like Diamond rings she may like rings that have Skulls on it or something she finds cool.
Diamonds aren't even that rare. Others are much rarer and cheaper.
See, I wouldn't expect that, I would expect him to propose with his cock wrapped in sparkly red ribbon and a giant bag of Sweetarts
We were saving for a house and used the money for that. We got gold wedding bands though.
Sorry to say but it's petty. Your husband is not measured from the size of his diamond ring. That's why many rich men think they can get any woman they want.
I wouldn't say petty. More... disappointing. Unless he gets him a diamond one as well. But it's bad, expecting a diamond gift. It's a gift, stop being spoiled.
I don’t think so. If a guy can be 40,000 on a car, he can the other who becomes One Flesh with you the most breathtaking 20,000 Diamond 💎 ring.
Yeah. Because love isn’t in a ring. Especially if he can’t afford it.
If you measure love in material value. Then it isn’t love. She should find a sugar daddy
