[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like other pps I initially responded thinking he could afford a ring or that you were happy with something simple and inexpensive but that he was refusing on the basis of it being silly and superficial.

He should not be purchasing anything he can not afford right now. You should not be insisting he do that. [/quote]

As I said, he will definitely make a lot more money quite soon (it’s contracted), does spend on other things he wants, and has not said anything about a small ring now with a future upgrade. [/quote]

How are you both planning to pay for the wedding and honeymoon?  Is there a plan to exchange wedding rings?

I think at the heart of things there has to be compromise but that doesn’t mean you dictate what the other person sacrifices in order to meet what you want as a way to prove their love.  It means you come to something where each person gets some of what they want and you find what works for both people and it might mean you both make sacrifices that you feel willing to make in order to get there.  I asked about wedding and honeymoon etc because I can see a world in which the discussion of engagement rings and wedding rings can be part of the overall wedding budget/planning and if there is something he sees really important to the wedding, your ask is the rings.  You may be cutting back things to contribute to the wedding budget and hopefully he does as well.[/quote]
