Not Engaged (Yet) | Forum profile

My FI is rarely picky about anything, and I could not BELIEVE how picky he was about my engagement ring. He was very particular about the size, and where he bought it, and the color. I guess because they feel it's a reflection of them... it's a big purchase for a guy, a huge deal, and they know you'll be showing it to all your friends and coworkers and random strangers. That is the only reason I can imagine my FI insisted on a...

NQB - thanks a lot for posting that, apparently I have a bunch to think about.

Sounds like you've already told him off about it if he's giving you apology back rubs. So I'd buy a cheap recorder and keep it on whenever he's in the office and just keep it on you so you could get some proof, then go to the owners. I agree with whatever Jeana just said. The years they come and go, but times like this, no they never get old. I'd live a hundred more, because a life like this is what living's for....

Ok cool - if you decide to delete your other response in my thread it's cool since it does still have your e-mail addy in it. I gave the answer I wanted to give to you in there anyway. I still think he probably has taken what you told him you like into account when he does eventually go shopping for rings. When DH and I were dating we lived 2 hours away from each other - he moved here before we got engaged but we are very close to moving...

Well on one note...i have no classes tomorrow and only a meeting for work at 1. On another note. I was looking on petfinder.com and the shelter I went to the other day put up a pitcure of the dog i really wanted.. :( i hope she gets adopted really soon... she really needs to be fattined up a bit. Plus its almost harder for me to see her in the shelter knowing i really want her but can't have her right now... -

Hi! I think you should try to keep in mind that guys often need to do things their own way or at least in their own time. It's not that they aren't listening to us and what we want, but they need to feel like they have some choice in what they do when. It's like when I visit my mom and I'm helping with dinner. If I get to choose what I contribute, I'm much happier than if she stands over my shoulder directing me...

Button, some ladies on WW have said that seeing an attorney may be the best way to handle this problem. Don't be put off by the C&P, they brought up a lot of points I hadn't thought of: http: //talk.theknot.com/boards/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=627 33492 Not quite married

A 25 ound baby.. that would frighten me.. And I agree.. it's more of a nightmare..

That would bug me. BF has told me that if/when he buys a ring, it's going to cost more than I think it should (I figure under a grand is more than fine...he disagrees). Grr! I don't want anything huge, but anyway. These guys seem to have a weird opinion about this stuff. Surely, you can find out the designer, and find the ring elsewhere. That shouldn't be too difficult. Then show BF the price difference...somehow I doubt...

Congrats!
