[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh I can understand wanting one in the range you are looking at. You wear it for the rest of your life in most cases and it should be something you like. He is being insensitive by saying that he just wants to use what he has right now.

I feel for you OP. It sounds like you actually care about the lack of effort, not the money spent. I'd have a talk about that because it will manifest itself in other ways throughout your relationship, believe me. [/quote]

Yes! I know its so hard to explain how I feel eloquently. But its the effort and the thought he put into planning this. He just did not plan! At all! Even though he had one year +!

Its not really about the cost. If he was a blue collar worker and he planned and saved and worked hard to get me the best 1k ring he could, I'd be so touched! What bugs me about my bf is that...I have set a reasonable standard; a decent ring for the middle range of what he can afford; nothing too flashy but nothing too shabby. In reality, he should go a little above to show that he cares and because as his girl/wife i deserve the best!

Instead, he wants to just do it last minute with as little thought as possible. And....because I know him, I even emphasized it to him, "sweetie, i love you! whatever you give me will be beautiful and a symbol of our love and i  will wear it proudly and forever! so i want a nice ring"

and he always responds with "but rings are soo expensive"
