Yes and 10 years of marriage I still haven’t got one. Isn’t the meaning that counts not the carrots?

I feel bad for the guy in that relationship. Maybe if guys started leaving us if we didnt get bigger boobs . . oh wait . . .

It is not the size of the diamond that counts it is the commitment.
Just think what you could have done with that money you wanna spend on a ring/diamond.
Spend the money on a deposit for a home? Appliances? Wedding stuff like catering, venue, dress?? Just think what you are expecting you future husband to cough up just so you can say i do, when all is needed but a I LOVE YOU and he already asked you to marry you so that is a big step. and a huge commitment.

1 of my friends did this to her husband that was also a friend of mine. I found it to be really tacky of her and I think it says alot about her. As a friend I sort of looked at her a little different from that point on. Not that I was affected by it but it was just hard for me to look at her the same way after knowing how she acted because her ring was “only” 1 carat. She put so much pressure on him to buy a bigger 1 and told him she was embarressed to wear it cause all her friends had bigger ones. I couldnt believe how materialistic she was and at 30 she was still concerned with impressing her friends so much that she didnt care how much she hurt her husbands feelings in the meantime

No, I would never embarrass myself by stooping that low. As for the girl you knew I hope that the guy that gave it to her took it right back to the store and dumped her greedy butt.

I didn’t even GET an engagement ring. My husband was fresh out of college, and couldn’t afford one. We got the plain gold bands.
A year or so later, he suggested that I design a diamond wedding band I would like, and he had it made for me.

The diamond SO doesn’t matter!

That is horrible! I do know someone who did this and I just can’t even be in the same room with them. Horrible!

I would be mortified if my wife asked for a larger engagement ring. We bought the best we could afford at the time, and although we could afford more now it is about the memories and the meaning of the ring, NOT the size of it.

Later, I will get her another ring, but it won’t be another engagement ring.

On a similar theme we noted on our honeymoon in Mexico that the American married/marrying women who were there (lots - it was a 5* wedding/honeymoony hotel) all had the hugest most vulgar rings, and were bitchily staring at each other’s fingers. Made us laugh!!

Remember - there’s always soemone with MORE of something than you, so it’s important in life to let go of obsession with posessions!!

it’s kinda stupid, but maybe she just wants to gain attention of her partner…it depends xe if that girl’s just being childish ‘coz she’s with her partner na…

I would never do such a thing. I mean, even if it was horrendous I have to assume that a lot of time and energy went into getting it if I didn’t help to pick it out myself. I would swallow my thoughts and make sure that it’s a “team effort” when it comes to picking out the wedding band and future anniversary jewelry.

If that is what you think about when the person you love proposes and gives you a ring, then you are not ready to make the committment. If you don’t like the ring, decline the proposal and move on. Save the poor guy a future of trying to live up to your materialistic expectations.

Both genders only get by with what their significant other allows. She is a spoiled brat and deserves to be left completely alone by everyone.

If the ring you want is not one your intended can afford then I suggest that you make up the difference. Everyone is happy then.

If that was the case my advice to the man is RUN. There is no way that kind of person would be the “right one” sounds like the ol gold digger routine to me. Why would any man want to saddle himself with such a materialistic b***h. That kind of girl will get screwed but never married. If she did it would be very short.

Why would you? It’s not the size of the rock but the size of the heart giving you the rock that counts. The only reason you would want a bigger one would be to shove it in people’s faces and say oh look what I have that you don’t. It’s just one of those things people do to make them feel superior.

I believe if you marry for love you accept what your partner can afford.

i received a really cutesy diamond ring from my fiance and it didn’t matter that i can barely tell there was a diamond there….atleast he thought to give me one when there are guys who dont even bother
