Women, Ring & Logic

Ungrateful cow is my opinion.

Surely it's not about the piece of metal and rock? It's about the sentiment of you wanting to spend your life with her.

Seems I bagged a sensible one.

I proposed, got the size wrong (by one size). We went into the jewelers, they measured her finger and she left the store whilst I showed the receipt and they got the same one in her size.

Should have got a ring from a local jewellers!

End of the day, it's a ring, if she wants it cut and joint again, so be it.

If something happens to it, I have the "told you so" face ready. Probably dog house for the week if I don't pull it at the right time though...

My wife and I have never owned rings.

Smart... Tell me how did you spend the wasted money that is normally earmarked for the engagement and wedding rings? It just sits there and does nothing, Especially for men and surely you do not need a marker to say your woman is taken either.


I personally see more sense in a 1k holiday to celebrate or something memorable, Or something that will last like a luxury item? Im pretty tight arse but why is this weird?

Well we did actually spend it on a holiday and I agree wholeheartedly about not needing to show others a sign of our commitment. That's why we never bothered, although I appreciate everyone is different. I don't need a ring on either of our fingers to show people we're married and I don't need one to stave off temptation from others.

We had a very cheap wedding costing a few hundred pounds. We had a handful of close family and friends for a meal after the wedding. We had no rings. Then we jumped into a taxi to the airport and flew out to Thailand and Malaysia for an absolutely fabulous honeymoon. When we returned we had no debt to start our married life with.

EDIT: We did talk of getting each other an expensive watch instead. I regret not doing that to some extent. I think a watch would have been nice.
 
It only gets worse mate. I you follow the methodology around eternity rings for your 1st child, etc, then you'll soon find yourself like me, dropping a 5 figures on an eternity ring :eek:
 
Congrats Mr Jones!

Herein, there's a lot less gaming time :p (or more as I recall you saying g you both play)

I agree with you on the ring, I'd much rather get a brand new one than an old one jointed, nvm the cost.
