Today, I was shopping for rings with my fiancée. We spent over two hours selecting the perfect ring and diamond to match. When filling out the paperwork I discovered I left my wallet at home. She had to pay the 20% down payment for the ring. FML

Today, I finally had enough money to buy my girlfriend an engagement ring, which I was going to pick up after work. On my way to work, I slid on the ice and crashed into a parked vehicle. The damage to my car is almost twice the amount of the ring. FML
Today, I’ve been the proud owner of an engagement ring for about 7 hours, and I’ve just spent the last 4 of them desperately searching for the damn thing, as I’ve lost it already. I daren’t tell my partner, since he was so sure I’d lose it, he'd told me to put it in our safe, and I stubbornly refused. FML
Today, I found out my fiancée has been sleeping with the salesman I bought her engagement ring from. He knew. FML
Today, I went with my girlfriend to the mall. We were looking at jewellery in Zales and she came across the engagement rings. She looks at one and says, "Are you kidding me? That ring is hideous and it's the most expensive one here! Who the fuck would buy that?" Well, that would be me. FML
Today, I tried to propose to my girlfriend, but when I took out the ring it flew out of the box and disappeared. She's been crying for 3 hours and I'm down 2 grand. I still don't know what her answer is. FML

Yeah seriously, unless you were shopping for rings really far away from where you live, you could have just asked the store to hold onto it for you for a little while and gone back later that day or the next day and paid for it then. It's not like the ring was going to vanish into thin air if you didn't pay for it that very second. But, clearly, your fiancée wanted the ring immediately, so she paid for it, and you can pay her back. No big deal.

If you proposed, then F her L. If she proposed, then all is well, since she should pay. If for some odd reason, the couple splits, this gift should stay with the receiver. Gender is irrelevant.

Dude, if you're getting married, get used to sharing finances. It really shouldn't matter whether the payment comes out of your bank account or hers. This is why I hate chivalry.

I don't even see why you should pay her back. Rings are expensive - if she gets to wear the ring, I would say she should pay for at least some of it - especially if this is something you two are shopping for together..

It's been established that an engagement ring is to be seen as a gift. Do you pay for your birthday gifts?

Who buys a ring they can only afford a down payment for?
