[quote=Anonymous]I think you should set a budget and go shopping together — Costco, Blue Nile, Tiny Jewel Box, Tiffany’s, whatever, so that she can try on some actual rings. Then have a conversation about priorities. Is she willing to chip in for the ring she wants? Wait longer for you to buy it? Compromise on what she imagines she wants as she sees the actual options out there? I would do this both as a way to approach some resolution, but also as a way to understand her priorities and the way the two of you approach problem solving, and possibly understanding each other’s “ love languages” and values better. As an aside, there’s no way that I’d insist on a certain size ring or pushing beyond a reasonable budget as a priority. As another aside, I have a beautiful diamond ring that I purchased at a craft fair for a very reasonable price. Checking out the Smithsonian Craft Fair and other ACC events and sites might give you a wider range of options. [/quote]
