I think girls who demand extravagant rings want them for the sole purpose of seeing who can yell "Screw you" the loudest at their girlfriends while holding it up. "Mine is ten karats and cost the lives of 18 child soldiers! Suck it!!!"
Better then my buddies gf/fiance/wife .... She made him get a different savings account, just so she could see how much he was saving for her ring.
Man, if there was ever a purpose for overdraft protection, that bank account would be it. "Look, baby - I've saved -$500 for you!"
Yeah if she wanted to manage me like that/didn't trust me, our relationship wouldn't exist in the first place. So in other news our very stuck up marketing bitch here just walked into our sales area and commented on how it smelled like mens' cologne. None of us wore any today but a couple guys are eating lunch and I dropped a test fart in my cubicle the minute before she walked in, and it was stronger than expected. What kind of cologne is she used to??
You go always send her a dildo with a note that says, "Go Fuck Yourself." As far as jewelry goes, I remember going with my brother once when he was buying some diamond trinket for his girlfriend. When he asked how much it was, the idiot behind the counter punches numbers into a calculator where we can see it. They started with a 300% margin, he haggled down to about 50%, then we left without buying anything.
Since the odds are at best 50/50 that things will work out, isn't the smart money on this route, since it's probably better than even odds it's going to wind back up at a pawn shop anyway? Just seems to cut out a lot of unnecessary driving around.
Well, they are engaged, getting married in June. I say wife cause they have been living to gether for something like 7 years. Best part? She went off the pill for 6 months before telling him, he still stuck around. She got pregnant, she said "prepose to me or else the kid isn't getting your last name." I could keep going on.
So since I'm not being positive enough around here, let me spin this another, more populist way. Buying a ring is all about sentiment, price doesn't determine sentiment. If you can find a ring that expresses how you feel about someone, then where you buy it from shouldn't matter. Really people get way too caught in brands and stores, it happens all the time. I'm all about saving money, I really am. I guess I just tend to be a bit cautious so an alternative way to buying a ring just seems unusual to me.
I just want to know why the guy has to pay for the ring. Shouldn't it at worst be a 50/50 split? And why does the guy not get an engagement thing of some sort? Life isn't fair.
Wow. Interesting aside - when you do a GIS for "train wreck", one of the first images that pops up is Amy Winehouse.
Yes it was a typo. She doesn't drive, she makes him come home on lunch to drive her around. Since he is the only one that drives he spent a couple of weeks at a dealership finding the used vehicle he wants. She said no we are getting this because I want to learn how to drive and I don’t want to drive that. Well that was something like 2-3 years ago, and she still hasn't gotten her learners permit yet.
Re: Re: St Patty's Day Drunk Thread NSFW Fucking tell me about it, my wife is walking around with my new bass boat on her finger. I bought the diamond online and then had it set at a local jeweler, saved some good money but fucking diamonds are still a racket.
Is it really this bad? How is it possible a man would put up with that level of.....um.....childish and selfish? Is there something wrong with him? I mean outside the fact he still put a ring on her finger? Is it possible we're only hearing how you interpret these things? Or...is her kitty lined with gold and does it do tricks? Doesn't he know or does he think she's the norm? Did he even date before her? Was she his first? So many questions!
