    Default just got engaged! :)

    last night my bf finally proposed

    im such a bitch tho....i really dislike the ring he got me...its is everything i told him i hate in a ring.and i dont mean to sound like a spolit bitch, but i really need to vent....he spent way too much on it (i wanted something small simple and i dont really even want a diamond) i think some bitch sales chick talked him into it to be honest....

    hes coming home in 10mins, and im gonna blurt out how much i dont want that ring. fuck. i know how much its gonan hurt his feelings, but as the girls at work said last night, i cant wear a ring for the rest of my life that i hate now can i?!

    grr it just so impracticle....and i know i have been telling him for the last 3 years i dont care about the ring, and i dont care about weddings etc, its more important that we love each other blah blah...and now i feel liuke im picking, cos i dont actually like the ring he got me....i think he got ripped off, and its ugly.

    there i said it.

    now i just have to tell him this too... gulp!!


    sorry for the bitch about something so miniscule....its been nagging me all night, i have barely slept- i hate it that much! haha but i know this is gonna break his heart just as much as if i told him i dont wanna marry him (which is definatly not what im doing!!! i just want a more simpler cheaper ring)

    end vent/

    awww I'm sorry you don't like the ring but congrats though! My mom never liked her ring much and pretty much just wore her wedding ring without the engagment ring most of her life.

    I wouldn't complain if I were you. The proposal is what matters, regardless of the ring

    Hmm if you told him previously what you hate in a wedding ring,and he got you exactly the opposite it doesn't make no sense. Must have been a pushy sales girl,your right. I bet if when you tell him,he will probably say something like "My first choice was this simple one but...." I couldn't imagine having to wear a bit gaudy type ring either.
    Good luck & congradulations!

    congrats too, I am happy for you, well I will tell you my boyfriend took me to get my ring and when he proposed it was in mid intercourse, he got so nervous that he had to stop and then blurted out will you marry me, funny stuff i always laugh, he told the sales woman that I had to be there to make sure that everything was perfect but needless to say he insisted on buying some bling, I am pretty simple but I didn't mind I just thought that there are better things to spend all that money on but what I found out is that it came down to a pride issue with him soooooooooo I guess whatever floats there boat.

    Congratulations! Maybe you could say something like, "Baby, this ring is gorgeous but look, it's so big I couldn't wear this every day! I would be so afraid of it getting damaged. And it's so expensive. I don't need a huge expensive ring to be happy. Why don't we take it back and exchange it for something smaller so I can wear it all the time? And that way we'll have more money to spend on the honeymoon."

    That way his ego isn't wounded and you still get the ring you want! So when is the wedding?

    Yeah, be glad he proposed. I can't keep a man for my life. You're lucky.

    The ring might grow on you....give it a little time...OR you can have it re-designed. Congratulations!

    thanks for all the kind words

    being the person that i am, and lacking all tact, i just blurted it out. "babe, i really dont like that ring ramble ramble" he was fine with it.i thought his feelings would have been shattered,but as he said "at least i told him now and not held the grudge against the ring for 60 odd years" lol

    we just got back from the jewellers- i got a much smaller stone set in white gold.and am so much happier- i didnt sleep last night i was so worried about how bitchy it sounded, but once i said it, he was fine and im getting the ring id prefer,i can get some sleep now,before i have to get to work tonight!

    ahhhh now i can go back to dreaming nice thoughts heh

    Congrats, I'm glad that things worked out. My bf and I don't believe in diamonds b/c it's an artificial shortage and the economy revolves around modern day slavery. In other words, we see gems as blood diamonds. I'm wierd in the aspect that I'd be perfectly wearing an artificial diamond. However, I'd be fine with a diamond if it was a "something old," like his grandma's ring.

    ^^I totally agree with you on that one. I won't wear a diamond. My ring is an emerald with some teeny diamond chips and synthetic emeralds around it. The chips are trash that would otherwise be tossed if they cound not find a use for it, so I don't mind that, much.

    Anyway, COngrats, MermaidNZ. I know you have had a rough time of it lately, and I am so happy for you!

    Hee hee, I'm reminiscing on a memory of a couple years ago. While at the mall of my hometown, I ran into a high school friend. She and her fiance were at the local Kay's Jeweler's to pick out rings. I looked after their kids while they chose, so they could enjoy the process. She was always a no-nonsense type, and it showed in her tastes. Although her fiance offered to buy her a boulder, she chose a simple white gold band with a small solitaire on a mounted prong. She asked my opinion. I said, "I dunno, I'd be afraid of the prong snapping off if I punched someone. I'd go for something flatter and inlaid. Then again, you're a lot more pacifistic than I am." We had a good laugh at that.

    Congrats on getting engaged!!!!! And I'm glad he didn't care about you not liking the ring!!

    I would have done the same thing!! I don't really care for diamonds much and not really yellow gold either, and every relationship that has gotten even somewhat serious, I have told this to, so if I were to get some ring that i have been talking about hating for a long time, I would have been mad too!!

    But, I'm glad it all worked out for you and best of luck to you!!!

    Happy for you.

    If it were me in his shoes, I'd be very flexible about the ring and want your feedback very much.

    Now give him some extra special BJs as a present from us pervs.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.
