[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP sounds very very cheap. This is just a way of making excuses to not buy something expensive. Being cheap is really a red flag for other issues. If I was the girlfriend, I would not marry someone with this line of thinking. It's a preview of bigger issues to come. [/quote]

Women can say that being cheap is a red flag for other issues, but really it's not. If you want another person to give you stuff, own it. If it were truly "a red flag for other issues," you'd see the concern about cheapness running both ways between the sexes in approximately equal measure. But you don't. Men don't expect much in the way of material things from women, and when women don't provide those material things, it's not "a red flag for other issues." [/quote]

I am presuming that OP's girlfriend would really like a ring bought for her without having to go dutch on it. More than just the cost of the ring, is the thought/sentiment/love that goes into purchasing such an important gift for a partner. I can see splitting the cost of the wedding, the house, the car but an engagement ring? That is so cheap. It's a red flag because it shows I can't even buy this one very important thing for you flat out to symbolize how much I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you without asking for you to go to dutch on it. Red flag!!![/quote]
