Hello Scopers!
I am new to this forum, so please excuse any thread etiquettes I am failing to follow.
You see, I need some advice or some positive affirmations.
My story:
My loving BF and I have been together for 9 years.
He is employed in the medical field and I am a law student (1 more year left! YAY!).
BF gave me a very modest budget.
We both wanted to be in the engagement ring process because I am extremely picky.
BF and I met with a great trusting referral and picked out a diamond a RB 1.26 carat F VVS2 XXX no inclusions what-so-ever on its GIA report with a setting that needed to be specially ordered Simon G MR1502. It's been paid off completely and now, we are just patiently waiting.
We went into this purchase without ZERO information besides the basic 4Cs.
Because of the modest budget, I wanted a 2+ carat cushion cut double halo (Tiffany Soleste-ish).
But BF was adamant on going for quality versus quantity.
And every time I brought up going bigger, he would get so angry and refused to discuss it or listen to me.
So I sat back and agreed to what we have now.
It's upsetting because what he is spending on it not what I initially wanted.
I ended up picking my second choice to make him happy.
I am a lucky gal. But here I am with this memory on my mind of our engagement ring process.
Ring shopping was suppose to be fun and stress free, but my heart just hurts with this on my mind.
The worst part is, I know he will proposed in a few months.
I'm just hoping that when he slips the ring on my finger all of this won't be on my mind.
Am I just being too much unappreciative? Negative?
