[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  I know lots of couples who went ring shopping together.  My DH and I did and I picked out the ring/setting together.  He followed up with the jeweler, picked out the stone, bought it and then planned the proposal.  [/quote]

OP, no I mean I pick it out on my own. I don’t want to shop together (that sounds awful by the way - my partner is not materialistic and hates shopping, and I am sloooow and would want to go everywhere and look online and read reviews, etc). [/quote]

Shallow marrying Non-materialistic.

What could go wrong?

Too many failed marriages (involving children) on here to not notice these things and respond.

The "things important to me aren't important to him" flag is decidedly red here. [/quote]

Strongly disagree. The marriages in which each person brings complementary skills are stronger than the sum of their parts. Each person needs to be mature enough to look past superficial differences. In OP's case, she is describing very superficial differences. It's great that one person in the couple is not materialistic! My husband is that way too - and has helped rein in my spending. We've learned so much from each other. Couples don't need to lots of interests in common: they need to respect the other person's interests. Big difference.

I have no worries about OP's marriage, but I do worry about the state of mind of people such as yourself, who are so ready to rain on other people's parades.

DP. Disagree with you. It’s great you and your DH work thru money management differences but those issues are one of the top reasons couples split up. Doesn’t sound like OP and her intended have addressed this directly. Red flag. [/quote]
