[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it would be really helpful if you could tell us how the rest of the conversation went down.

Did you show DH the ring you wanted and tell him how much it cost?  What was his response?  If you think he's "dragging his feet" and you have plenty of money, why not just buy it for yourself?

I told him I would want a ring, after all these years.  I mentioned this on several occasions.  Finally, he said ok.  Then, he looked up and said "uhhh, how much are you thinking of spending?"

Mind you, I have already asked him on several occasions that it would be nice to maybe have a ring?  It wouldn't break our piggy bank how.  When he made that comment, I just clammed up.  I've been sort of mad ever since (think banging pots, no making coffee for his inconsiderate bum, etc.).

I can't buy it for myself because it's too expensive!  I want HIM to bite the bullet and buy it for me.  I buy nice things for him all the time!  Not $5,000 nice, but if he makes a stray comment of "ohh, it would be nice to have that," I make a note of it and the next gift-giving occasion, there it is!  And if wanted something that costs that much, and it was really once or twice a lifetime thing, you betcha I would get it for him.  Just the look of surprise on his face would make it worthwhile.

My DH is cheap!!!
