[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a gift. She either graciously accepts the gift you carefully choose, or she does not.

This is only the tip of a whole lot of life decisions that will reflect your values and priorities. Are the two of you on the same page and compatible?  Best to delve into that now.

+100. Woman here. [/quote]

On the other hand: it's a piece of symbolic jewelry that represents your bond to each other. It's got a lot of meaning, and she'll be wearing it every day. It is also a signal to those around you that you are together - and that this is the piece of jewelry that symbolizes that commitment.

Did you two communicate well when it came to buying it? Did you take each other's needs and preferences into consideration? Was anyone willing to compromise? Was each party gracious and giving?

Again: I am someone who wanted a tiny ring. We spent $2k and that felt like too much. We just aren't flashy people. But I can understand why these rings take on outsized importance to other people. It's ridiculous - and, frankly, misogynistic - to suggest that a woman who wants certain things is somehow a bad person who should obviously be dumped.[/quote]
