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

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!

my ring was $99 got it at a pawn shop. We went to buy a car amp and I was bored waiting so I was trying on jewellery. He seen it fit perfect and after he left he ran back in saying they didn't give him a receipt while i waited. Later he asked me to marry him with the ring. We were married with rings that cost $100 for the set, at the courthouse with only 6 people present. When it becomes more about the price tag and less about the person you end up adding to the statistics of divorce rate. I really hope he dumped you YDI for being a bitch.

My wedding ring and engagement ring cost $30 total, and I love both! Be thankful for the fact he's trying, and he loves you.

Sounds like your boyfriend could do better

OP- I sincerely believe you are a gold digging bitch. 200.00 for an engagement ring is more than enough to get something tasteful and gorgeous. I hope your boyfriend sees this, realizes the mistake he's making, and leaves your ass. I believe he's letting you pick the ring to let you find something you like. Your the one wearing it. It'd serve you right if he went to Walmart, and got you one of those ostentatious fake rings for 10-30.00.

You're an ungrateful bitch and I hate you

Personally, I got engaged with a ziptie, then married with a ten dollar ring. And I cherished both because I was in love! But I can see how the combination of lack of effort, plus the low price-cap, could really bring a girl down. Although not everything has to be about money, if someone is trying to show that he wants You above all other women on this planet, it seems like he should want to impress you, one way or another, No?

My wedding set cost less than $200. It's silver, which I prefer over gold, and I love it. I picked it out myself, because he asked me to. He wanted to make sure I got a set I really liked. There's nothing wrong with any of that, when the end result is being married to a great guy who wants to make sure you're happy with what you get and doesn't want to break the bank getting it. F HIS life if he's looking at it that way and all you can think is how he should be spending more.

YDI. My ring was less than $200 and I picked it out myself. He should dump your ass for being so materialistic.

It IS generous. Really he doesn’t need to spend more than $10 at Walmart for a ring. Be happy with what you have, and if you have him and you’re happy then the ring doesn’t matter. Holy ****

I'm assuming that's what he can afford. You sound a bit mercenary.
