[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the wife should have realized something was up with this guy when they got engaged and he gave her a "borrowed for his lifetime" ring rather than a ring he bought for her himself with money he had earned.

That's really common in trust fund families. Just because your family is rich doesn't mean you've done anything for yourself. [/quote]

I would rather be engaged to a man who has a job and buys a ring he can afford with his own earnings than one who gives me a more valuable borrowed ring. I share more values with a partner who works hard and lives within his own means than one who lives bigger only because of family money. It tells me a lot about character.

Another bullshitter. DCUMers would kill to marry into money. You're not choosing a working stiff over a Kennedy heir, for instance. No one believes you.[/quote]

Seriously? You'd rather marry a guy whose job doesn't provide enough money to buy you a ring himself? I value hard work and can't imagine being married to someone who doesn't also appreciate his own hard work. People appreciate more things they have worked for over things they were given.

Long marriages are based on the characters of the two people involved. If my fiancé wanted to give me a borrowed ring that would have to be returned at his death, I'd say, you know what, I'd rather have something we can afford on our own.

The ring is a symbol of a promise: what kind of a promise is a borrowed ring a symbol of?
