luvsux69 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Guys would you break off the relationship if your girlfriend tells you she expects a 3 carat ring and nothing less when you didnt even ask her and you never brought up marriage.
somedude81 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 She take my money when I'm in need Yeah she's a trifling friend indeed Oh she's a gold digger way over town That digs on me 6
Gloria25 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I'm not a dude, but trust me... You don't want a chick who is more worried about her "day in a white dress" rather than life, love, and reality. This also shows she'd marry just about anyone and that she is materialistic. She wants to show off her Karat to the world and let them know she's taken...wooohoo.!!! Good for her. Just dying to see if she cooks, cleans, sexes, and has the skill it takes to be an actual wife and/or mother 8
Gloria25 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 She take my money when I'm in need Yeah she's a trifling friend indeed Oh she's a gold digger way over town That digs on me Yet he married the Kardashian, Kim that is. If he isn't the jackarse that Obama called him one time, hopefully he signed a pre-nup and this whole marriage thing is just a business venture.... Ah, why am I worried if he gets cleaned out by super-booty? He deserves that and even jail time for child abuse - which is having a child with that nut and her Krazy family. That kid is gonna need years of therapy or probably will end up like Anna Nicole Smith's tortured kid.
MrsBrantley1 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I'm not a guy but... When did the size of a diamond become a requirement on an engagement ring? If it comes from his heart it's worth more than that? If I was a man, and my girlfriend had a requirement like that ...I would throw her to the curb. Hard. Fast.
Gloria25 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Well, now that I think about it, in some Indian cultures the size of the diamond is something they look at. But, if it is not a cultural thing, I say forget her...
haribogumsnickers Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 If you don't like it, make sure you don't put a ring on it. What did Jay Z call Beyonce before marriage? Fiancée. Oh my wtfness... 1
Methodical Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Setting minimum size requirements for a ring to ask for her hand in marriage is only the beginning. Can you imagine her requirements for a house? Type of car? She's def. materialistic. Unless you're cool with bending over backward and breaking your back to constantly provide bigger and better possessions, I'd walk. 3
blackcat777 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 At least she told you before you considered escalating the relationship, so you could turn and run without having to cut too many losses. Thoughtful gal. On second thought, you might want to keep her. 1
Almond_Joy Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Guys would you break off the relationship if your girlfriend tells you she expects a 3 carat ring and nothing less when you didnt even ask her and you never brought up marriage. I'm a girl and I say YES, DEFINITELY. She could at least wait until you bring up marriage to start making requests, jeez.
somedude81 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Yet he married the Kardashian, Kim that is.

Now I must resist the urge to look for pictures of Kim
toolforgrowth Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 The expectations of the life she's essentially demanding you to provide her are already beginning. This is merely a foreshadow of what is to come if you stay the course. There are plenty of good women out there who won't gauge your love based on the material possessions you provide her. Doesn't sound like this is one of them. 1
Male Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 If a woman has the mindset to demand such a thing, then she has to have the personality to go along with it. I would think you should have seen it coming a mile away. 1
Wackkkk Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 That's the ring she will wear the rest of her life, it better be big. If you can afford a big ring why not? I'm sorry, if your man buys you a cheap ring even though he can afford a bigger one, that's kind of offensive.
Wackkkk Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Granted the K family has their own money so I really doubt she was interested in that about him. Now I must resist the urge to look for pictures of Kim Using him to keep her relevant tho.
d0nnivain Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Guys would you break off the relationship if your girlfriend tells you she expects a 3 carat ring and nothing less when you didnt even ask her and you never brought up marriage. Is there any chance she was kidding? DH & I play a game sometimes where we tell the other one to buy us something for a holiday & it's clearly ridiculous because we can't afford it. We played the same while dating too. His sister actually was horrified when I 1st met her. I didn't realize she was there. DH & I had gone for a walk in the city we had gone to in order to see the sister. I pointed out some gorgeous multi-million dollar townhome that I was saying I wanted for Christmas. The sister over heard this & later pulled DH aside to tell him to dump me because I was a gold digger. He laughed & explained I was kidding. He showed her a lottery ticket that he bought me which was going in a box with a note that said, "here's your townhouse."
gaius Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I got the vibe most women I've dated had put some thought into what their dream wedding scenario was going to be. Doesn't mean they seriously expect it all, or don't love you if they hint at it, or would marry just anyone.
Shining One Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Guys would you break off the relationship if your girlfriend tells you she expects a 3 carat ring and nothing less when you didnt even ask her and you never brought up marriage.Yes, without a second thought.That's the ring she will wear the rest of her life, it better be big. If you can afford a big ring why not? I'm sorry, if your man buys you a cheap ring even though he can afford a bigger one, that's kind of offensive.I can afford a lot, but any woman I click with will prefer I spend that money on our future instead of some expensive bauble.
Toodaloo Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 There are "old rules" that say between 1-3 months salary should go on an engagement ring... Doesn't leave much left over for the wedding etc... You know your girlfriend better than us. Is she a gold digger? If she is then she has to go. If she just wants you to show her that you love her or is joking then no. Personally the amount I want spent on my engagement ring is £0... I want my great grandmothers diamonds...
Gloria25 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 That's the ring she will wear the rest of her life, it better be big. If you can afford a big ring why not? I'm sorry, if your man buys you a cheap ring even though he can afford a bigger one, that's kind of offensive. Gee, this must be "poor people's stories" day here on LS... I'm gonna tell you a story.... I have a cubic zirconia 10k ring I got since I was early 20's. It only cost like $43.00. I had to pay for it in installments...that's how poor I was. But I LOVE that ring and have it till this day, decades later. It's not the size and/or karat that counts...it's where his heart is. The day I decide to get married, his ability to splurge on a ring and/or wedding isn't my priority...he needs to be a dedicated, responsible, hard-working man with integrity that has his poop together. He needs to be in the place where he can provide and protect me and the kids we will have. Anybody can waste a paycheck or two on a ring, car, dress, pair of shoes, even a freakin' wedding...that is no indication of what kind of spouse he/she will be. **Gloria25 drops mic and exits stage** 1
Jethro Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 There are "old rules" that say between 1-3 months salary should go on an engagement ring... Doesn't leave much left over for the wedding etc... Christ... I am not spending $60K on a damn rock!! 3 months salary... that's just craziness. 1
rester Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I was curious what that would cost and found this on diamondregistry.com: "The average wholesale price of a 3 carat Certified GIA Diamond would range between $ 18,150 and $ 254,430." That's just the diamond. Not the ring.
Frank2thepoint Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Guys would you break off the relationship if your girlfriend tells you she expects a 3 carat ring and nothing less when you didnt even ask her and you never brought up marriage. Yes I would break off the relationship. I wouldn't even entertain an argument. Just that we are not compatible, and I'm out. That's the ring she will wear the rest of her life, it better be big. If you can afford a big ring why not? I'm sorry, if your man buys you a cheap ring even though he can afford a bigger one, that's kind of offensive. I'm not surprised by your answer. Reading the thread you started and this post explains your outlook about relationships. 1
mrs rubble Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 OMG! Why not tell her about the "prenuptial agreement" you want signed- where your future wife must never gain more than 10lb except during pregnancy, & she must be back to her original weight within 6 months of the birth of any child. How you expect nutritious home cooked meals 95% of the time. In laws may only visit at Christmas time. She must be availabe for sex 95% of the time also. Works both ways. :p:p 2
