Today, my fiancé proposed to me. I was really excited until he asked, "Can we go halfsies on the ring?" FML

I'm the OP. Let me clarify a few things. He's not suffering finacially. He makes $60,000 a year. I make $20,000. He bought a $3000 ring which was more than enough for me. It's beautiful. I don't want a massive rock. I don't spend all his money. I support myself. We live together. I pay half the rent

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Wow I am so dumb. When I first read this FML, I thought it meant to half the ring and have half each. I read 5 comments until I realized what it really meant. I am a total failure.

you shouldn't care about a ring so much if you love him

Maybe I'm just old fashion, but a girl shouldn't have to pay anything for her wedding ring. That's bs. If he's poor & can't afford one, then wait until he can. & wtf is he five?! "Can we go halfsies?" Wth is that?

He could just get a ring he can afford... Unless OP has a 'dream ring' picked out all platinum and diamonds and thousands of dollars and won't be happy to get anything else...

I know different customs changed since I was proposed to, but being asked to pay half of an engagement ring seems so unromantic. Perhaps, if a guy doesn't have a financial goal to purchase an engagment ring on his own, it might be a sign that he's not financial ready for marriage. Many girls need security that they are going to be taken care of. (I'm not talking about goal diggers.) Any other purchase seems fine to split. Maybe I'm just too old fashion in "this" matter.

money should be no object, at least he's asking you to help pay for half of it and putting his pride on the side
