I''ve been married a year to my wonderful husband, yet I can''t stop fixating on my engagement ring and comparing it to the rings of others -- particularly the wives/fiancees of his friends.
It''s a 1.3 carat, E, VVS1 round brilliant -- a really nice ring -- but I stil can''t shake off the fact that he earns $200,000 a year, and chose to buy a much smaller ring than his friends did, as well as pushing for a rock-bottom price ($5,000).
Great, he''s persistent, but why did he have to employ such an attitude to the one purchase that should, if you can afford it, be extra special?
I''m so down-at-heel about everything else that my attitude about the ring is really starting to worry and upset me. Am I both a selfish brat and a female Golem??
