Hi everyone! I am mostly a lurker and have only posted a few times. Some of you may remember me talking about "HOW TO GET YOUR MAN TO BUY YOU A BIG ROCK" topic.
Anyways...I have totally screwed myself. I am the worst girlfriend in history. My man and I have been talking about getting engaged for a while. I now know the reason that we aren''t yet. Several months ago we had a serious discussion about rings, upgrading, budget, etc. He is a firm believer in the "WHAT...YOU SPENT MORE THAN $600 ON AN ENGAGEMENT RING" kind of guy. He can afford, but doesn''t understand my point of view. He told me over the weekend that he would have asked me months ago, but he cannot afford the ring I want and he won''t be happy unless I am happy about it. I feel awful. I love him and don''t even want a ring now. I just want us to be together. Now I feel as if my selfishness has ruined things. I never should have said anything. We always go and look at rings in the stores and I am a big fan of pave, melee, art-deco...you name it! He thinks they are gawdy. Oh god...now I wish that he would have just bought me the $99 Wal Mart special. I feel petty.
