[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is this, 1925? Both a man and woman should pay equally (we did).[/quote]

You bought half of your own ring? Gross.[/quote]

Do you not do joint finances?  By the time it came time for engagement ring shopping, we definitely saw our finances as tied together. [/quote]

No way would I pay for half my ring and I make way more than my fiance. I would be fine with a smaller ring and definetly wouldn't want him financing a ring because our finacnes would be joint. But, sorry, there is something still to be said for the man paying for the ring entirely.[/quote]

"...but I demand equal rights for everything else."[/quote]
 But why would I go half for a present for myself? That is silly. It is essentially a gift. An engagment ring is given by the man in consideration of the woman accepting the reqeust to marry. If the woman does not go through with the marrioage, the man can legally request that the ring that was given in consideration be given back. Why would I pay for half of that? If he is able to get it back if we don't marry.  Even if one were to consider it a gift, why would I go half on a gift for me?

Would I force him to accept less of a birthday present because he earns less? Feminism has gone to far when you are not allowed to ask that a gift be given to you without you chipping in.[/quote]
