Proposal, Engagement ring, Romantic and Love: Swoon

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

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!

There are plenty of women who can't find a guy to marry them... and you're cribbing about a ring?

Most reputable jewelers carry a sort of "pedigree" for their diamonds to alleviate doubts about their origins.

he didn't have to tell her how much he can afford if she's that materialistic. OP: if he really wanted you, he shouldve worked hard to earn the money to get the engagement ring you can both agree on. besides it should be obvious how he's ready to marry you despite your expensive taste... I guess you should find a rich man op if you can't be happy with him.

YDI for not valuing a frugal boyfriend who has his financial priorities straight. He'll probably be able to save for the really important things in life. You sound like a spoiled princess. My advice: Go find a rich douchebag, marry him, divorce him and take half his money in the process and I'm sure you'll be happy then.

Some people are poor. If he can't afford it, he can't afford it. I can't afford more than a 200 dollar ring if I wanted to marry my girlfriend. Of course, I'm not wanting to marry her for quite a while, so hopefully I'll be able to afford more by then. However, I'm sure my girlfriend would love a ring from me if I got it for 40 bucks at the local Wal-Mart. It's not about how much the ring costs, It's about how much it means to you.
