Cost of Ring(s)?!

View Quoted Comment Thank goodness his personality is different and he's not pissed. 😅

View Quoted Comment Other women have mentioned how they stopped posting on forums bc of negative comments and judgement. After reading your comments, I'm starting to feel the same way and will probably post less often, if at all. 😞

View Quoted Comment Also I never said that the ring he chose for me was more expensive than the gold ring.
And whats "reasonably priced" for you, may not be for me lol. You don't even know how much I make. And I graduated with a lot of student loan debt. Again, I encourage you to have all the facts first before passing judgement

View Quoted Comment Good! I'm glad you responded to his very reasonable request and bought him a ring he would like.


What exactly are you looking for in this thread?

View Quoted Comment I’m not what I consider a “jewelry person” either, and I have horses, too (I assume you do too based on your profile pic) and I also lift weights, so I’m pretty hard on rings lol. But I still personally wanted the non-silicone traditional engagement and wedding bands, and I can swap them out with silicone or just take them off while I’m at the barn or the gym. I also agree, the price or material of the ring doesn’t indicate the quality of your love, I would marry my FH with paper rings if that’s all we could afford lol, it’s all about personal preferences and budgets. Glad you and your FH were also able to have that conversation and figure out what matters to both of you!

View Quoted Comment So if he doesn’t remember, what’s the big deal? He dents it? Also, he’s not a child he should be able to remember to responsibly take care of his belongings.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for

View Quoted Comment Thank you for your input without passing judgement

View Quoted Comment The only thing I'm passing judgment on is your insistence that this ring isn't worth the money when your fiance, the love of your life, has told you he wants a ring that is something higher quality than something out of a gumball machine. Girl it doesn't matter what we think. Your man wants a gold band that will probably run a few hundred dollars. That is NOT a lot of money as far as rings go, as far as jewelry goes, as far as rent or gas or anything else that you spend money on. Unless you are homeless you can find a way to save up a few hundred for a gold band (which clearly you already did!). I just don't understand this attitude. I get that you eloped and don't want any of the wedding trimmings but give the man his wedding ring, lol.

View Quoted Comment Okay, understood Amanda. 👍👍👍👍👍

View Quoted Comment Girl no one is judging you, I think you are projecting a little bit. All we are saying is your fiance's request is reasonable.

View Quoted Comment No, you were judgement about how I viewed our relationship. I didn't appreciate it. And yes, I have been homeless before, went to bed daily with an empty stomach during undergrad.

View Quoted Comment I felt judged by you. Other women on here, I've talked with felt the sane way. I even showed my mom your comments on the app and she was like "woah, I'm so glad these didn't exisit when I was your age." I felt judged by YOU. Not every person who commented on this thread.

And yet 2 months ago you're passing judgment on people who get help from their parents and then try to claim you could have afforded a bigger wedding but just didn't want one, then now you suddenly can't afford a simple wedding band for your fiance. You comment all the time on posts where people ask "did anyone do x" with "no we eloped" which is clearly not what people are looking for.


Anyone who has a problem with me can DM me and I'll be happy to talk things out. But I don't talk crap behind people's backs, that's not who I am. ✌🏻

View Quoted Comment Lol! When I told him I bought his ring (he’s a firefighter & was out on a 2 week wild land assignment), he was kind of shocked. When I told him how much he was floored! He tried it on & loved it!

View Quoted Comment Yes ma'am! That was me! I'm super frugal because I have had PREVIOUS experiences with homelessness and struggles with hunger. I'm constantly afraid that something will happen and I'll be returned to that life. Showing mt mom your post is not talking behibd your back. I hope you pray or meditate and get your judgement together. Peace be with you.

For one of my rings my parents actually handed us down a ring. We both decided he was going to wear it since it did not look great with my engagement ring at all. It's definitely more of a man ring. For my wedding band it was $1,000.

View Quoted Comment That is so sweet! Handing down rings 💗💗💗

View Quoted Comment ****Yes ma'am! That was me! I'm super frugal because I have had PREVIOUS experiences with homelessness and struggles with hunger. I'm constantly afraid that something will happen and I'll be returned to that life. Showing mt mom your post is not talking behibd your back. I hope you pray or meditate and get your judgement together. Peace be with you.


Also an apology or a "my bad" would have sufficed. Attempting to turn the tables on me shows you were in the wrong. So not cool. I wish u the best and hope you get the marriage and wedding you've dreamed of. Xoxo.

View Quoted Comment You literally said you talked with other members on here, but whatever. I'm not judging you, perhaps you should work on your sensitivity a bit. All of us here are speaking from our own perspectives about how we feel. What matters for *you* is what your fiance wants and feels...as I said several times.
