Today, my fiancé told me he didn't have the money to make payments on my engagement ring and that I either have to return it, or make the payments myself. Now we aren't engaged any more, and are "dating." FML

That sucks, but I have to admit that his approach was a smart way to get out of an engagement without ending the relationship.

My husband didn't get me a ring. I have my Great Grandmothers diamond, and my mom bought my wedding band as my wedding gift. Difference is, my husband was just poor... not a jerk who dangles something like that in front of you and then yanks it away. Dump his ass.

You're all dumb to consider marriage when you can't afford to support yourself. Get over this dumb romantic bs. Love won't keep you together if you don't have a pot to piss in!! Money or the lack of is the number one reason why people get divorced. This isn't materialistic, it's reality!

Not being able to afford something something thats ridiculously expensive, and unimportant means you aren't able to support yourself? Maybe something happened and he needed a new car, or he just bought a house, or is planning on getting a new house or car in the near future, or just lost his job. That doesn't mean he can't support himself or a family. It means he doesn't have money to waste on pointless things like a ring.

The fact that the ring is on payment plan (most jewelers wont do that unless it costs over a certain amount) and the fact that he can't afford the payments, pretty much means that its an expensive ring.

When my mom and dad got married, he didn't have a ring for her. He had just gotten out of medical school, and she out of college. They got married, and my mom wore her godmothers wedding ring. On their 5th year, he surprised her with an engagement ring. You dont need a ring to be engaged. You only need LOVE!

YDI for thinking a ring Actually means you're engaged, rather than his intent to get a wedding ring and a marriage license.

They said HELP pay. Isn't that how it's supposed to work? When something is expensive you both put some money towards it.

If he can no longer afford the ring because of a layoff, medical bills, something extreme like that, the OP should be supportive. That is, after all, the heart of a marriage. If OP's "bf" can no longer afford the ring because it was too expensive in the first place, he maxed his credit cards or he "had to" had a nerf gun or a bmw, then it shows financial irresponsibility and a lack of commitment. And she has every right to be upset! And either way, it is disappointing to have to give up something valuable and cherished. Lets not be so quick to judge her!
