His ex-fiancee didn't even cook. She was a career-oriented woman, made mid-six figures, loved buying luxury goods, and insisted that he buy her a particular $100,000 diamond engagement ring since he could afford it.

When he refused, she took it as an insult, that he didn't really love her, and she couldn't accept a lesser ring, because all her friends got expensive diamond engagement rings.

I am not making this shit up.

Since I am not American, I have a question. How exactly does this work. When a guy asks a girl to marry him, and gives her a ring, does he also include the receipt so that she knows exactly how much he paid for it?

because she knows. hens prepare for this moment their entire life. Hens probably price shop diamonds on a daily basis

In my friend's case, they were bf/gf for 5 years, and had been discussing marriage for over a year.

They verbally agreed to get married. And started making plans about their future together. She stated the exact brand / shape / design / quality that she wanted in a diamond ring.

There was no "down-on-one-knee marriage proposal" drama.

Again, I don't want to get into too much personal detail about the exact brand, etc.

This is that "life on the other side of the curtain" b.s.

Trust me. I had a D-vvs1 4ct tiffany stone that I had to pay an extra $7500 just so they could modify one of their settings to fit. It wasn't $100K. At the time, it was the most expensive diamond anywhere in Tiffany's inventory. Anywhere in the world. They were going to charge me for shipping so I went to Hong Kong to pick it up.

Idiots.

Yes I'm a troll, blah blah blah nobody who posts here can possibly have any money etc. Fine. But trust me, it is very, very difficult to find & procure a $100K+ stone.

Only on f2, will you find IDIOTS who claim that it would be hard to buy a diamond ring costing more than $100,000 from TIFFANY, when COSTCO is selling $480,000 diamond rings!!!


But.. but.. the Tiffany salesman told me that my piece-of-shit D-vvs1 diamond was so special & rare, and I believed him!

Back to the OP. The guy's actions showed he cared more about material things than he cared about his gf. If $100k is 2 months salary, what's the big deal? They obviously had a difference of opinion concerning the importance of their spouse vs. the importance of material goods. I think she's right to dump him. I'd give anything for my wife and kids. Money is only good for providing care and comfort to them anyway.

I'm going to respectfully disagree with you. The fact that she was demanding of the $100k ring shows her true colors and he has dodged a bullet on this. If he bought it and they married and then something terrible happened and he was unable to work and the money started running out do you think she would stay for 'the love between them'? She would be out the door in ten seconds.

When my wife and I decided to get married 30 years ago we did not do the engagement ring thing and eloped in a simple ceremony. We have been through good times and bad times but stuck together.

The idiots who buy expensive BMW's to get hot chicks and then do the expensive rings are the same idiots who get raped in divorce court and then cry 'do never marry'.

Most Indian women I see at work who wear wedding rings have simple gold bands similar to what mean wear.

You may be right, but maybe not. You need to know your partner. I spent a lot on my wife's ring because the money ultimately means nothing to me, she does. We'll be together no matter what, I think we've both thought that way from early on. My wife and I have similar viewpoints on money. If we can comfortably afford something and it makes us happy, why not buy it? We're not spendthrifts, but were also not tightwads.

Most of the idiots on this board seem to prefer money over relationships. I don't.

The hen will show the ring to her gal pals. They will compare notes. If the woman comes up short, she will be furious.

Now, this is not true for every woman.

One friend, her engagement ring was her hubby's grandmother's Eastern Star ring. Eastern Star is the women's auxiliary of the Masons (look up Freemasons and ignore the tinfoil hat nonsense). She also wears it as her wedding ring. I suppose it might bring $250 at most. They are married happily 20 years later.

A sweet family piece belonging to a grandmother is very nice for an engagement ring, no matter what the social class. More expensive/flashy jewelry can come later, for holidays and anniversaries.

Not if your fiancee is

or

Than it's flash glam all the way

RING NOT PLATINUM JUST PIECE OF SHIT YOU GOT LITTLE DICK ANYWAY
