thats why i just bought her one and fu_k it she just best be thankful i got her one.

 

Cowards, why don't yall just Nut-Up and get what's right. Don't you understand tradition at all.... and I mean the tradition of the romance..

a ring is the symbol used for love, a diamond is the hardness that keeps that love going, its not to resell or trade off or anything, its a memory one has forever

on the other side, don't worry guys Eric feels the same way yall do and diamonds are a waste of money, and there's nothing that he's going to get out of it. Matter of fact he wanted to sell my earrings which are 2 ctw. NOT. Who knows if he was pulling my chain. The inclination alone erked me.

And I own the truck.

 

Bitches be crazy!...............ie we dont think alike. We know which way north is and they know which way Coach is in the mall......It sounded good to me!


Thats not as bad as my three year aniversary with my girl went.............Mine acted like a bitch because when she called me first thing I didnt blurt out happy aniversary, and later that day I think we broke up.........Oh well fish heads to her! If we do get back together I dont think I will let her ride in the truck for at least 2 months. That will show her!

 

i dont know man... this is just my $.02 but in all seriousness...

IMHO your GF should have been super excited and not bitchy at all... she should realize how busy you are and be excited, regardless of how you ask... you ASKED and that is the point, period. Sounds like to me, you have to do things perfect in hers eyes at all times and if not, you are sure going to hear about it... MARK MY WORDS... this my brother will at some point come back to haunt you... i can only judge by what youre posting but it seems as if she is high maintenance... and the SOLE fact of her trying to reverse the situation is another key point....

instead of showing you that she felt hurt, she lashed out at you and basically admonished you for what you did, and made you feel like **** or a dumbass as you put it.... never feel like a dumbass for trying to do something nice for someone... we are NOT perfect, we are human... maybe you didnt take the time to think of her feelings, but that does NOT give her the right to make you feel like **** or stupid, etc etc... especially the way she did it... that just screams self centered to me.

you should seriously sit her down and explain to her that your intentions were noble and that you are sorry, but for her to come back and treat you like she did is unacceptable, especially over buying her an engagement ring!!!!!

she sounds like a princess who needs to realize who the KING is...(you)

anyways, just my $.02

women just like to bitch at you , regardless how nice you are. and the nicer you are, the more they like to bitch at you and take advantage. thats why i like to keep it old school, and have them on a short leash. you can never do the right thing, or ask them in the right way... wtf ??!?!?! im not a mind reader to know exactly how u want it unless u tell me. long story short..... if u would of just have taken her to the jewelery store she would of gotten mad also. and if u would of put alot of thought into it, it doesnt matter, you will get bitched at for trying .

 

Not all women bitch. I went with 4 basic rules: don't bitch, don't smoke, down to earth values(not hi maintinence) and cared about their physical apperance. And at the age of 21, I met a divorced cougar of 3 years mine that fit the above and didn't mind my bitching, money hungry hobbies or my love for beer! We married 2 years later. Was I ready to settle down at 23? Hell no! But I knew I had found the right one and adjusted accordingly. Now i'm 30 and she's 33 with no kids a good job and no birth control without a care if we ever have kids or not. It's pretty simple, a dating couple with no birth control = very dangerous; a married couple with no birth control = Like that's ever gonna happen!

 

I guess common sense never enters the picture with any of you? Just curious, or is it your way or the highway?

As far as being treated like a queen, that's not a necessity. Just to be treated equally, fairly, and with respect.

 

Well, I worked tons of overtime for her to fulfill her dream of a flower store/interior decorating business shortly after we married and are still $50k in debt from it and it has been closed for 2 years now. And this morning, after I worked 12hrs last night, she is getting ready to go shopping all day with her aunt and asks me to cook her some bacon and I did while she dried her hair. Not to mention that I have to sleep to go back into work tonight. Is that good enough?

 

Dear lord this thread kinda got crazy... Like I said earlier it is not as bad as I made it sound, just trying to be funny... Anyways I ordered some flowers today to be delivered to my GF school tomorrow (she is a 1st grade teacher), she really loves flowers (anything except roses)... If we are not too busy this weekend we are going to go ring shopping if not this weekend then next...

The important thing I took from this was me asking her to go ring shopping was a really big deal to her, I should have handled it a little different... She admited that she over reacted a little bit, so we both kinda screwed up, but IMO that is what a relationship is all about overcoming problems... Besides this is only like the 2nd time we have ever really got mad/upset in 3 years, so IMO that is pretty good... The other time was about my smoking....

 

Well cool man.

If it makes you feel any better, when I had planned a total surprise for my wife at a park by the pond and ducks late at night while laying on the grass, when I'm in the process of descretely slipping the ring on her finger and popping the question, she giggles and says, "I've got to poot".

As I've said, it's never perfect.
