Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my boyfriend said he wanted to marry me. Since he doesn't know my ring size, he asked for me to find a ring that I liked, and he would buy it and propose. The only problem is that he won't spend more than 200 dollars on it. Oh, the generosity. FML

That's when you buy yourself a cheap plastic ring and then tell everyone your boyfriend bought you a piece of crap fake ring.

You know, if he didn't want you tell people that he bought it, there'd be nothing wrong with it.

Do us all a favor, OP. Run—don't walk—away from this character. Do it now.

I don't blame him. When I got with my chick and got her a ring that shit got exchanged 3-4 times before I just said **** it you either wear the one I bought you originally or don't wear one at all.

Seems like y'all have things you need to talk about. Time to think about the relationship a little

I really don't see a problem with him not wanting to spend thousands of dollars on a ring you'll wear for a few months until the wedding and you get an even MORE expensive ring. You love someone? The ring shouldn't matter.

true - but to say they should pay for it and basically pretend he proposed is harsh. I totally think the engagement ring is a bit pointless because you are right - you don't necessarily wear it long (some people wear it with their wedding ring though) and I think thousands of dollars is a stupid amount of money - it is the symbolism that counts as you say.

Why would he want to take credit for it then?._. I understand not wanting to buy a ring, but there's no point in lying about it.

@BananaaBread: Social pressure. People will think he's an asshole if he doesn't get some super expensive giant diamond ring. People are shallow. They'll think he doesn't care if she doesn't have the most beautiful ring. Just to be clear i'm not against wedding rings. If I get married i'm going to get a ring. Gold with a reasonably sized diamond. It wont have like 50 diamonds around it and a giant one in the middle. But i'd prefer just a plain gold ring. Diamonds are meh. I like simplicity. Not a very extravagant guy.
