Proposal, Engagement ring, Romantic and Love: Swoon

Swoon

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

Today, I was out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. FML

Today, my boyfriend bought me an engagement ring. It turned out to be the wrong size and we had to return it, since the store said it couldn't be re-sized. As we headed home, I felt guilty, so I turned to him and apologized. His response? "It's OK honey, I didn't really want to marry you that much anyway." FML

Today, my boyfriend of 4 years proposed to me. I said yes and he gave me an engagement ring. He immediately went to call his mom to tell her the happy news. After the phone call, he asked if he could return the ring because his mom needed money. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed. He said we’d go pick up the ring tomorrow. Then he asked to borrow $40 to get it out of pawn. He pawned it when his ex gave it back to him. FML

Classy guy

Today, my boyfriend and I were looking at engagement rings. When the store owner asked about our budget, my boyfriend said with a straight face, "Nothing too expensive, I have a big penis so I don't have to overcompensate by buying a big diamond." 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!

thank you! all the other guys posting on here probably will never have a chance to propose b/c they think it's "materialistic and bitchy" to want a nice engagement ring.. this is the ONE time you buy this and it's to SHOW TO THE WORLD how much you adore your girl.. if it's not about the ring, they why get one at all???? To all the girls who say it's not about the ring: you're either making excuses b/c you got a crappy ring or you're not even close to getting married.... if the ring is "materialistic" then don't even get one!! See how that goes over....

@ OP Don't look so smug. I know what you're thinking. But 200$ was merely a setback! Did you honestly think I would trust a real ring to some blind, materialist bitch? Oh, no no no no no... you were merely a instrument, a stepping stone to a better girlfriend..

I'm just guessing that if he is indeed cheap, there will be no vacation or honeymoon.... It depends on whether he WANTS to spend $200 or HAS to spend $200. Either way, I doubt any "leftover" money will be used for, well, anything.

did you ever think that your boyfriend may not be able to afford the ring that you want which is probably several thousands of dollars just because you are a materialistic bitch. It is girls like you who make men want to be gay, ( I'm not gay myself though, just sayin)
