It sounds fine to me. Once you get married it is all "our" money anyway.

I would rather they pay for it all, but she would just put it on a credit card I would have to pay off.

If you're a broke-arse then it's beta.

If you have the money anyway, making a woman pay up if she wants to be married to you, Alpha as frick.

God. There must be a place for a real man nowadays. If a young woman met one I bet she would just get naked.

To quote my wife (no pics), “that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard!”

20 years later, and i don’t regret not getting a diamond
where are you at on the “crazy/hot matrix”?

We were young and broke too and a few years after the wedding she started hounding for that diamond. You want a trip to Napa or you want a rock? You want a new car or you want a rock? You want me to pay for everyone to go to Disney or you want a rock? You want them LV bags or you want a rock?

The answer to all that is BOTH!

I'd want my future wife to agree that spending a chunk of money on a completely impractical and useless piece of jewelry that does nothing more than signify you are getting married is pointless. I'd want her to agree that once the marriage reaches 10 years or so she would get a very nice ring or other piece of jewelry.

However, there's not a chance in anybody's Hell that would ever happen.

Um - not sure

But I’ve never asked for an engagement ring - I would rather take trips - which we have

I let him buy the cars and I don’t buy designer bags (I don’t really see the point of a bag that might cost more than the cash in my wallet)

Woman, don’t be a tease. You’re married.

I wish. Most women not going for that to be honest.

Just get a ring within your budget. Don't go broke or in debt over a doggone piece of jewlry

Only a dumbass wouldn’t be okay with this. I’d let her buy the entire thing if she wanted.

Let me know if you have any sisters!

College aged daughters and nieces would suffice as well!

my husband said the
ring I chose made him look like a cheap arse when we got married (no engagement ring just a wedding band). But the $$$ value of the trips we have taken far exceeds any amount I would ever spend on jewelry. He did not come out ahead
