[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has there actually been a proposal?  Or are they just "talking about it."  Because I'm going out on a pretty sturdy limb to say the BF doesn't want to marry OP.

Here's why:  OP believes that cost of gift = amount of love.  (Whether this is sane or not, we'll skip over for now.)  The fact is, she does think this way.  The BF must know she thinks this way.

So BF is actually, in OP's own language, telling her by the "cheap" ring, exactly how much he cares.  OP has picked up on that, which is why she's so upset.  Blow to her ego, wasted time on this guy, etc.

That's my theory, anyway.  Click the "agree" button if you do too.[/quote]

I agree with this. I can only speak from a sample of one (mine) but when we started talking engagement, my now husband asked me if I had any requirements as to size of a ring. No, I didn't. I couldn't believe he asked me this. I said no. He asked me if I had a style (this makes more sense) that I preferred, and I said "anything but xyz if you really want to know." That was it. He told me later that he heard from so many of his friends of the laundry list of demands re: rings that he was really grateful and knew 100%. Think about what YOU"RE communicating to your boyfriend. 
P.S. Agree with many others - I barely wear mine 9 years later. I focus on the wedding ring. [/quote]
