My fiance has $50k and got me a ring that cost $50. It's starting to turn green.
How would you feel if your fiancé gave you a cheap proposal ring even though they have a lot of money?

How much someone loves you shouldn't be measured by how much they spend on a ring that's only meant to be a symbol...
What's more important to you? A man that loves you and wants to marry you? Or an expensive ring?
Maybe you should think about that before getting married...

It sounds like you and your finance need to have a talk about finances.
To all the people saying "loves isn't about money blah blah", if you want your partner to wear something everyday for the rest of his/her life, then you better take the time and be willing to foot a little money to get the right gift FOR THEM.
Just because you don't think an expensive ring is important, doesn't mean that you should DENY your partner what they want. Chances are they don't need a 5k or 10k, but yes $50 is hella cheap and a sign that you're only willing to invest 4-7 hours of minimum wage income (depending on your state) on your forever person.
If you are OK spending $200 on a gaming console for yourself, please be willing to buy a ring that's double that. If you literally don't have money, never go out, can't 'afford' a ring, then for heavens sake, save some money, wait a few months and don't disappoint your partner.

He doesn't care if the engagement ring that you are supposed to cherish for the rest of your life is garbage. Even a simple $180 gold band would have been sweet.
I'll bet he would throw a fit and call you a gold digger if you said anything.
Does he make you split the bill when he takes you out, too?
This, to me, would be a signal of what you're in for if you marry him. Sounds like a nightmare.

Now you know how he got that 50k lol, by being frugal.
I knew a couple, the girl loved loved loved that the guy was debt free and had a very very nice asvings account relative to the mboth. He's like mid 20's, she's early 20's. Then she was upset he bought her a cheap ring.
The dude was living in a cheap rental sharing a townhouse, living off cheap groceries and never eating out or drinking, making terrible pay but had tons of savings. She was then somehow shocked her ring was off etsy for a few hundred. Did she not see that coming?

So you know now that he is cheap. Still wanna get married?

I'm not big into jewelry so the price part wouldn't be the big deal, but for this particular thing that I am supposed to wear for the rest of my life, I don't think it's too much to ask my fiancé to put thought into it. Getting married is a pretty huge step, and if he just went to Costco last minute to buy whatever was up front on sale with no more thought than that, that would be the bit that would irritate me. I think most guys will at least ask a friend or family member or even sneakily try to ask you what kind of ring you'd like because it is a gift and a promise to you, not to/for them and vice versa when you buy a ring for him so as long as some thought was put into it, price wouldn't matter.
50K is NOT rich! A man that is only worth 50K should be on his purpose and putting off marriage for now! As to the value? My mom's older sister was born back in 1906 and married a guy that returned from fighting WW1! My uncle had his last pay in his pocket and a job working at a local filling station. My aunt's wedding band was a toy ring I think out of a box of Cracker Jacks. Still, she treasured that ring until the day she died. It was put up in a locked box and replaced with a nicer ring a few years later.

A ring that is turning green isn't cool. But if it was a spare of the moment thing. And he wanted to do the proposal so you knew he was serious sure.
But I'd like to think he'd look at something a bit more reasonable.
They say it's usually a couple of payslips or something to cover the cost of the ring.
But this was all about the war. Making sure if he didn't return the woman and the family had something they could sell to make ends meet...
I would love to get married but I also think it's really important that the man and I do this in a way that doesn't affect our finances 786 opinions shared on Relationships topic. I would feel freaked out because I think marriage is huge mistake... the whole concept of it is primitive and misconstrued. The fact you're worried about cost of the ring is a prime example as to why I always advice men against marriage.
If you really loved him, would it matter? No, it wouldn't, and why does the guy have to buy a ring to begin with? Whats the piont of that? The ring literally means nothing, it's just a archaic social convention pushed on men by jewelry companies... and its sexist, why don't women buy thier men engagements rings when they accept?
Get over your self and be happy that you found a fool of a man to want to marry you to begin with.He doesn't necessarily have to give you an expensive ring but the fact that the ring is turning green is very concerning. He clearly didn't think this through. If he excepts you to wear a ring for a lifetime then he should at least gift you a quality ring. Don't listen to some of these people who are shaming you. They have no idea what they're talking about so I wouldn't mind them.

I'll go against the grain here. Fifty bucks? That's less than a tank of gas these days. I spend more than that on wine every week. That's cheap. But that's what he's saying you're worth. . . a tank of gas. Here's your cheapshit ring, will you marry me? Men are supposed to provide. I don't see a lot of provisions in your future.

Some of us never ever experienced getting proposed (and end up leaving the man when we find out he never wanted marriage, wasting our time and years keeping us as a forever ''girlfriend''... never getting out of that stage) meanwhile you already got out of the girlfriend stage; you got what most of us want and you're still complaining about the ring being cheap?
I would be happy if I were even proposed with a plastic ring. -
I wouldn't care honestly. I think it's stupid to spend thousands on a ring. I'd be happy with anything. It's the thought the counts not how much you spend. Love cannot be nought. I would take it if he did I'd be very appreciative but I'd be happy with small ring with any stone. I don't need a huge real diamond.

Be happy u have one. I'm 51 yo, been married twice and have never rcvd any jewelry from any guy. Does he have a good heart? Does he love u? Will he provide for u and a future family? If yes, then stop bitching!! He's a good man and jewelry is materialistic!!
548 opinions shared on Relationships topic. The ring means little/ nothing , he only has 50 k he certainly shouldn't be sending 1000s on a ring , its a very wise move on his part , and has nothing to with your relationship , he is a clever and practical guy , what is far worse is the idiots who spend a plethora , good move by him.
You are far more important things to be concerned about.I do think engagement rings are a waste of money. I’d rather give it to charity than buy a 4k ring that’s worthless after leaving the shop. If you don’t have a house of your own buy that first, rather than ring.
Just ask him why he spent no money? Maybe he’s got plans for a house- 1.4K opinions shared on Relationships topic.
Soooo... ''what's your price, sugar-lady?''
Perhaps his expenses are based on the value he sees in you.
In the 21st century, where women have more rights than ever before - and regarding ''entitlement'' exceeding these rights towards an imbalance AGAINST men (who are humans as well) - a silly ring has become just a symbol.
Any will do, as long as it's meant sincerely. - 750 opinions shared on Relationships topic.
I would be less annoyed that it's cheap and more annoyed that it's turning green and won't last. If the ring doesn't symbolize anything then why get it?

Well when you think about it, it's a silly thing to buy in the first place (not necessary in my opinion lol). So why break the bank on something like that? And if it's supposed to be a "symbol", then it really shouldn't matter what it costs right (because it's not about money but what it symbolizes)?
-
it doesn't matter how much it cost its obv all he could afford he may get you a better one once he saves up if u feel its not good enough but he obv still loves you and wants to marry u wich means more than money ever could
- s
lol…
I wouldn’t care about the price, but I do want it to last… and I want him to have loved it when picking it out. that would be more than enough to make me happy. 604 opinions shared on Relationships topic. Not worth marrying if he goes do cheap the ring turns green. £50 is more than enough for a decent ring here

I'd be worried that he's so cheap you won't ever get a vacation and arguments might happen frequently over finances. If it's just a test to find out how much you love him, I'd be worried about future tests/playing games.

He got conned if he dropped £50 on such a piece of trash, I've had plenty of gold rings for less than that (some of the lightweight ones probably still are)
In silver you could do well for that budget
