craftycarper 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 tis very confusing, but as you can guess from reading through this i am not happy about the cost of it so far let alone any more being added to it. I suppose it does not help the matter at all that i don't like jewelery at all, don't wear any chains only have two rings...one from me kids that says dad and another i was given about 24 year ago, don't even wear a watch for christs sake...

craftycarper 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 probably a little old fashioned, i believe it should be a token/ gesture and that to me means it don't need to cost the earth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly believe it isnt about the money... I agree it is about the gesture. Theres more to a relationship than big monetry gifts And 'His Wife' made a very important point 'If its wrong now it dont get better' Someone (a bit late I might add) gave me the advice of likening a relationship to a set of balance scales, if it goes from good to bad to good to bad...Smash the scales Quote Link to post Share on other sites
craftycarper 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 things are supposed to get easier the second time round, and you would think slightly a little wiser but it aint true, just as hard....just as complicated....just as expensive Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Tell her to feck off, she'll be the one whinging when you can't afford nights out or holidays coz she's wearing the cause of your debt round her finger. Its only a piece of metal to prove she's got you by the balls, if she's not happy with the fact that she won't have to give head anymore and can stop you doing what you want theres summat wrong with her. Blimey somebody's had a bad experience! Crafty, if she only wants something to better what her mates have got, you've really got to ask yourself ... are you sure you want to put that ring round her finger? If I were ever to get married again I wouldn't care if the ring was second hand, antique ... whatever. It would be the meaning behind it, that it was special to me for whatever reason. If you're going to spend that much on a ring Crafty, I think you're out of your box! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you're going to spend that much on a ring Crafty, I think you're out of your box! yeah i know thanks. i knew the answer before i started the thread, just had to confirm for my own sanity that i was not being tight. I can see that from some of the replies i have had that it is too much to spend on a ring alone. My mother said the same when it came up in conversation....and you know what....mums always right. Well most of the time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattydski 560 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I have a solution..... Why not take her somewhere nice to propose...? You could spend less on the ring, you would both share the benefit of the expenditure, say on a trip to Venice, Paris, Rome... Theres some cracking deals, propose over dinner in a romantic location, she'd have bragging rights for weeks with that.. You have change from a grand for both witha bit of careful shopping...

However, I get the feeling that Crafty's woman would like the big massive ring AND the trip and romance as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

craftycarper 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 right there, don't get me wrong not a money grabber, just that this just a ring. No celebrations, probably no wedding down the line either, i say engagement ring loosely but thats for my satisfaction...don't think its hers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
