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!

be grateful you get a ring at all and not to mention the rest of your life with the love of your life...

I don't see the issue. The ring I want is perfectly pretty and only 128 dollars. It's about the love, not the ring, or the wedding.

I think that's being a little bit selfish. It's definitely not about the price of the ring. It's about your love and commitment to each other for the rest of your lives. Call me cheap if you must, but if my boyfriend proposed to me with one of those 25 cent rings out of the machines I would gladly accept it and wear it proudly :)

My husband spent $99 on my wedding ring 8 years ago and as since offered to replace it with something more valuable. I refuse and always will cause the idea behind the ring makes it infinitely more valuable than a stone could. Start your marriage right, quit being so materialistic.

Materialistic much?! My fiance's ring cost me $70 from a pawn shop. And if you se it, you would think it cost more. But it's about tje love, not the price of the ring. Be grateful you're getting engaged bitch.
