Swoon

By anonymous - 14/03/2010 05:04 - Canada

Today, my boyfriend said he wanted to marry me. Since he doesn't know my ring size, he asked for me to find a ring that I liked, and he would buy it and propose. The only problem is that he won't spend more than 200 dollars on it. Oh, the generosity. FML

It's about the love, not the ring.

$200 is way more than you should spend on a ring anyway. YDI for valuing the ring over the love!

worthless ****. an engagement ring is about the act and what it represents. it isn't about getting some big rock you worthless sow

I think he should reconsider his decision to marry you. It would be the biggest mistake of his life. Worthless bitch..

I'd punch my boyfriend in the junk if he spent more than $200 on a stupid piece of jewelry, engagement ring or not. C'est la vie.

I don't know how to really vote on this. If your bf won't spend more than $200 on a ring because he's like the majority of people in this world feeling the blow from this shitty economy, then lighten up or wait.

But if he's just being a tight wad or lazy then FYL.

I didn't even get an engagement ring. Once I was married, I was going to switch to a wedding band, anyway, and it seemed silly to spend money on a piece of jewelry I'd wear for 6 months. We saved the money and spent it on our lovely wedding. Now I a wear a beautiful, simple gold band that I love. The amount of money your boyfriend can afford for a wedding band is not an FML. Also--when you get married, his money is your money. It's not just his $200 anymore--it's yours. The amount of collective money you have affects where you live as a couple, when you can afford to have children, whether you can take vacations, everything. Does that change your tune?

shoot my husbands plain gold wedding band cost more that $200. and while money isn't everything if he can't put some effort into the proposal at least which can be free and perfect if done right it shows you alot about the man asking to marry you and how well he knows you. and also my husband didn't know my ring size either so he took a ring I didn't wear much anymore to a jeweler to get the right size from that.

It's hard to hit YDI because you clearly do not deserve anyone to love you. Selfish unloving ****. You are aware that there are children starving to death right now and that $200 bucks would actually do some good there?

because of that fact you don't have any jewelry right? all that money that would go to jewelry you gave to the starving kids? i mean it would be hypocritical for you to even mention starving kids if you didn't give up things for them, wouldn't you agree?
