Search Results: engagement ring

Do you think this girl's mother is an entitled woman asking for too much? Please read.

I'm just an observant (a family friend). The girl was dating her boyfriend for 4 months. All was great until the lady excluded him on a family event and got involved in the relationship too much. The lady even speaks for her daughter on conversations, interrupts on the table too.

The guy reacted like anyone would've: reducing his visits, distancing from the relationship, hardly going out on dates and spending more time on work, with friends and elsewhere... away from drama, the meddling mother and his pushover girlfriend.

The girl's b-day was last month and the lady argued with the guy badly. She literally insulted him (making him cry in anger) because he came with no gift. He came with nothing because the lady ruined the surprise date. He was gonna take her on a restaurant. The lady literally told him what to get for his daughter and organized the b-day herself. The girl said nothing, stood there, didn't defend him.

When the guy claimed he was gonna surprise her on her b-day, she thought it would be with a damn engagement ring. LOL
- The relationship went south ever since the mother meddled
- The guy's girlfriend is a total pushover; she's already 20 years old
- The girl doesn't want kids nor a family
- The girl hasn't really been doing anything for the guy besides having sex.
- Just because she lost her virginity to him, doesn't mean he has to marry her, esp if she's not contributing anything and he has more to lose.
- I heard the girl once told him ''I'll abort the thing if you ever get me pregnant''. She referred to an unborn baby as a thing.
- The girl doesn't even know how to make basic meals, balance a checkbook, take care of herself, act like an adult, etc.

With all those negative points, the drama and everything else... the lady really thinks her daugher deserved a ring on her finger.

I don’t really care to be honest. Preferably, I’d like to have a vintage-style ring with a diamond that can last me a lifetime. Of course this question depends on the guys’ job and savings. But generally speaking, how much would you say an engagement ring should cost? Furthermore, how much did you (or your partner) pay for yours?

For the last 3 months he's been asking me about weddings and engagements and rings. Last night to be cute, he proposed in the kitchen as "practice". Except he called me by the wrong name. He called me his ex from 5 years ago who cheated on him with his best friend. I tried to brush off how hurt i was but he made the mistake of apologizing profusely and saying he knew my name, but then messed up my middle name 2x more. At that point, I lost it. When we woke up, we hugged and made up but heart hurts so much. I dont want to go home to him. I think we need a break now.
