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!

What a stuck up bitch. You don't need an expensive ring to know that a guy loves you. What if that's all he can afford, hmm? Are you going to say no just because he can't afford a coulple-thousand dollar ring? Again, stuck up bitch.

that's still a decent amount of money, everyone's got to have a limit and anyway you should just be happy he wants to marry you

Wow, materialistic much? It's the thought and meaning of the ring that matters, not how much it cost. If I were him and you reacted like this I'd be taking back my proposal!!

At least he is ready to marry you... What did u expect? He give you a $10,000 ring? Is this how you rate love? Through how much he spends on you? What will he do if that's the amount he can spend on a ring, maybe he has saved the rest to spend on your honeymoon. What will you do with a highly expensive ring? Just show off? Think about it lady. It's better save that money for something else as well. And I guess you do get a nice ring in $200. Well I dnt know if you did accept his proposal, if you did I hope you got to understand him and be by his side always, else if u did not, he is much better since he deserves much better than you.

My wife takes a child-size ring (she's Chinese). If you've every tried to buy a child's engagement ring you will find it's understandably rather difficult! However, none of that matters because rings are remarkably easy to have re-sized. I bought a ring that I knew was going to be too big (it wasn't very expensive - we were students then) because I had no choice but then we just went back and had it reduced. If I was the OP I would be more put out by his lack of effort or initiative than by the amount of money involved.
