Does it matter to you how much Fh spent on your engagement ring??
FH has a friend, the girlfriend said she doesnt want a 'wedding', and because she doesnt want a 'wedding'. (i guess just go to city hall)....he has to spend at least $10,000 on her ring.....isnt that alittle ridiculous? i think shes crazy for telling him how much he HAS to spend on a ring....

Re: Im going to start
I told FH for yearsssss that he could get me a ring from a quarter machine and I'd be happy...
I am totally content with the ring he got me and how much he spent on it... I was actually upset that he spent as much as he did... I would neverrrrr tell him how much to spend... I think thats crazy...

I never cared about the price tag, I know how much he spent and it still doesnt matter to me.
I do know someone who recently got engaged that told her FH that he needed to spend three months salary on her ring because supposedly that is the amount men are supposed to spend! I've never heard of that before her! I wouldn't have the nerve to tell FH he had to have spent a certain amount.

yea i dont think i have the nerve to go and tell FH how much he HAS to spend, my FH spent what he could, and thats all that matters. the girl def. has nerve telling him that, but he listens to whatever she says like a little puppy dog so he'll probably do it anyway

I couldnt have the balls to tell him how much to spend. I love him and I love my ring and it doesnt matter to me how much it costs.

I definitely would not care at all!!! It is more a symbol of love than anything else, so who cares what it cost? People who do things like that just want to be able to say 'oh, my FH spend so and so' and show it off. I think its more important to show off your love for each other than just a ring! I have a friend who is happily married whose fiance didn't even want a ring because they were saving for a house. It really doesnt matter at all in my opinon

i didnt care about the price of my ring at all! of course that big rings are gorgeous but the price of that ring could be a down payment on a house! and the house is way more important to me then the ring! the most important part of the ring was what it meant, i never once wanted an expensive ring. my friends mom actually told me never marry anyone who gives you a ring under 2 carats.. my mom and myself both looked at her like *** does that matter?? some people are just like that.. but i myself would have been happy with a ring from the 25cent machine.

lol really? i just figured i would ask because me and FH were discussing it and thought it was kinda ridiculous, for someone to TELL their FH what they HAVE to spend. shouldnt it be about what the ring symbolizes and not how much it costs?

Re: Im going to start
quite frankly that's a bit much to ask of FH... yea it's something that going to be on your finger for a reallllly long time, if not your whole life... and yea you have to like it.... but just give him ideas one what you like.. if he doesn't have 10K to spend he shouldn't go and get a loan to spend it...... she's being selfish regardless. i didnt care how much FH spent.. as long as i liked it and he could afford it, that's all that mattered i would have been happy with a ring that cost $200... as long as I know that i'm marrying him...

I really wouldn't want FH to spend 10,000 on a ring but, thats because we dont have it like that.. some people might. I know that he picked from his heart what he could afford and thats what really matters to me

I never put a price or carat/quality quantity on my ring. I think that's insane to expect/demand a certain size or price. The ring isn't like a dowry, he's not BUYING you!

I didn't care what he spent. I picked out the setting and told him to purchase a center stone he felt comfortable with. I still have no idea how much he spent on it.

Not at all...I told him not to spend a lot...I picked out my ring so I know it was well under $5000.... I didn't want a huge rock and for me I can't see spending a lot of money on a ring...I am not big on jewelry so I would rather him put that money towards our house. It isn't about the size of the ring or how expensive it is...it is the love you share.

Re: Im going to start
Yeah, I agree...I could never tell FH how much to spend. I did tell him how much NOT to spend
