I was just curious if everyone likes their engagement ring. I am not to fond of it. It's cute It is a heart shape diamond and silver but I know it is from Walmart. I just feel like he should have saved up alittle while and got something else. All of his other friends have rings that cost in the thousands. Then when I come with my walmart special it just doesn't look right.

Also I feel we have broken engagements before. So Many fights I think a fresh start which what we are having with the new date maybe a new ring

I want everything right this time.

---

Maybe he could not afford anything else. 2 years ago fh gave me a promise ring, from kmart, it was 1/4 ct, and yellow gold, and I showed that ring off like nobodys business. I always thought when we got engaged I would get this HUGE 2 ct at least diamond, fh comes from a super wealthy family, and everyone I know was expecting it, but I didnt. my center stone isnt even 1 ct..its .96(close to 1 ct, but not quite) and truthfully, I couldnt love anything more. He told me for our 10th wedding anniversary, we would upgrade, to any size stone I want, but I dont think I am going to do that. It means the world to me that he went out, with me in mind, and came back with a ring truely from his heart. It is a symbol of his love for you, it isnt about how big it is, or how much money it cost, its about spending the rest of your lives together. I think its very selfish to be upset over this, there are lots of girls who never get an engagement ring.

---

I am not being selfish. The promises were broken. All his friends are broke to. But they can afford a better ring.

---

One of thing you should not do is compare your FH to anyone else. Just be happy and appreciative of him and the things he does for you. It is only a ring and it cannot compare to true love.

you all talk about your FH wanting to upgrade later. Mine never talks about that. Maybe I am doing the wrong thing. But is sure has become a heated subject on this site. Makes me feel like not wanting to come on here. I just dont know anymore. I really wanted to get the teeshirt but I do not know!

I for one is not trying to knock you but only to let you know that you have more going on than this ring. He loves and cherishes you and nothing can compare to that.

I agree with you he is the love of my life. And yes i know i handled this whole ring thing wrong.

Re: Does everyone like their engagement ring?

I agree isn't it more about staring a life together, creating your own family, and spending the rest of your life with your best friend?!? I love my ring even though it is the complete oppisite of what I picked out lol. He put time into getting it made and the proposal was over the top! I am just very happy to being spending the rest of my life with someone who loves me the same as I love him. It is like the others said..you can always upgrade later on. Just enjoy the relationship.

Wow, this post shocked me. If the ring is that important to you then you should say something. BUT, I think it is kinda mean what you said. A ring is no indication of whether your FH loves you or not. A happy marriage does NOT need a fancy, expensive eng. ring

JMHO

Good luck

Mean?

You do not know what I have been through in the last nine in a half years. To love someone so much and to keep that love in your heart every time you want to run out the door.

I am tired of people judging me on this internet. I even got yelled at by a man. Try living with you MIL and she can yell at you wish you die, then when she needs you she is your best friend. SIL's that never call when their mother says bad things about you to hear your side. They only hear a part of the truth.

What is wrong with me wanting to do things right? I am sure all of your relationships are not that perfect and you are not willing to open up like i did

You are right-none of us know what you have been through. However this is a public forum & if you are asking for opinions that is what you will receive. If you are having problems with FMIL or FSIL then you should speak with FH about it. I don't see how that issue has anything to do with your e-ring???? I agree that not everyone's relationships are perfect, & opening up did take alot of courage but maybe you need to sort all of this out with FH. A beautiful e-ring does not equal a happy/healthy relationship. If there are underlying problems you should deal with them before marriage.

Re: Does everyone like their engagement ring?

Im sorry you feel that way. You asked for an opinion and that is all I gave. Love should be sacred, and should not be measured in the size of a diamond. It took me a long time to save up money for the ring I bought my FW, Especially longer since I was only making pennies a day!

Good Luck!

Re: Does everyone like their engagement ring?

It sounds a little bit like your situation is a little more deep-routed than just 'the engagement ring.' I think it's safe to assume that when your fi proposed to you he did it out of love and the desire to spend the rest of his life with you. But if you are unsure of this - you need to speak with him. No one is judging you, just giving their opinions.

Personally, I adore my ring - but its the fact that my fi went out of his way to pledge his love for me. When I think back to the day we got engaged I think of the way I felt when I realized how lucky I was to be spending the rest of my life with the man I loved more than anything - and to know that he felt the same exact way - the fact that we were about to 'officially' begin our lives together - not the way the ring looked.

If you are going to display a post (especially one as controversial as this) you have to expect some adverse opinions. Consider it constructive criticism and take it for what its worth - all these people are trying to help you.

Re: Does everyone like their engagement ring?

IT IS MOSTLY ABOUT THE BROKEN PROMISES.

I did ask for an opinion but I did not think everyone's relationships were so perfect.

I am really not a bad person that everyone thinks I am.

Take a deep breath, no one thinks you are a bad person. It is a touchy subject-that's all. IMO no one has a perfect relationship, but as stated above your problems seem to go deeper than your issue with your e-ring. A post like yoou made is maybe not so much controversial, but it gets everyone's attention. I also adore my ring, never expected to get the one FH got me, but if it was different, I would be happy because I am so in love with him. I think maybe you shoud re-evaluate your relationship & try to find out what is really making you unhappy. I read the original post & now realize that you never asked for opinion...sorry

Re: Does everyone like their engagement ring?

I do NOT think you are a bad person.

I didn't want to say this but hell I just think you are a very confused person. I think the ring is just an excuse at this point. Just do me a favor and just be honest with yourself. Don't want to do something you are going to regret.

I do NOT have the perfect relationship. Trust me! LOL. I love her dearly, but that still doesn't cover the fact that she is a never leaving pain in my ***. I still love her though. After a while of aggravation for some reason; it becomes cute.

Good Luck
