No, I personally would not. It is supposed to be his gift to you, so he should pay for it himself, even if it means having a ring that costs less. Remember, the woman can always upgrade to a new ring later when it is more affordable for the couple. Some couples get engaged and don't have a ring at all, so it's really not the most important part of the relationship, and shouldn't be taken so seriously.

If you are questioning it, that means this is not what you were dreaming of. And this would make your relationship a bit uncomfortable. It is like alot of man like small woman, tiny and short, because they can feel the dominant one as a man. THat is their nature.
Because of tradition and all , a woman always depends on her man, even though she is an independent woman, she likes the idea of being dominated. And vise versa for a man.
So when you question it, that means you are not really ok with it. And ofcourse it wont be soemthing that you will proudly talk to you friends or family about. So you can share the happiness and you will always see how man give ring to their woman.
I think just give him time to save some and get you one. Or buy you a cheaper ring, whatever it is even a plastic ring, as long as he got it for you means alot , then later on when he is doing well financially then he can get you a good one:)

no.
The ring is to be purchased by the man-- with his money. If the ring is too expensive for the man to buy, either choose a different ring or inform the female that it could be a very, very long time before she receives it. The engagement ring is a symbol of love for women ( I know there are a few exceptions, but not many). By saving up to buy the ring it shows the woman that the man saved and planned and took initiative.

It depends on the financial situation. As for myself, I didn't assist in paying for the engagement ring but knowing his financial situation and my personal preferences, I told him I didn't want anything big, just classic and timeless looking. I even told him he could get a cubic zirconia.
He ended up customizing a beautiful ring with a real diamond. He made payments on it slowly and made it happen.
If your future husband has financial issues, such as child support, medical bills, tuition (medical or law school hopefully), work with him. Either chip in or go for a more conservative ring.
Save up to buy your first house. That will be the biggest financial investment you'll make.

No. If he cant afford the ring now that you want either get a cheaper one or just purchase the one without the diamond now....He can get you the ring of your dreams in the future just tell him as time goes by you are charging him interest on the ring

If I were adament about having one he couldn't afford then I would offer to split the cost. However, if you can't accept the ring he CAN afford then what does that say about you?

it depends on the financial situation. If he can totally afford what we agree on without it hitting hard on his pocket, fine with me.
But hey, Its no big deal for me to share the cost, because we are going to share the cost of everything else after we get married.
Well Im not the traditional kind who sits back and the guy does everything. I feel good if Im part of everything else in OUR home/life.

I paid for the tax on my ring, and my fiance paid for the ring itself. So he paid 400 dollars, and I paid 100. I didn't mind at all, and I got a gorgeous ring that I love.

Yes, but only if he could not afford the ring I really had my heart set on and he didn't feel insulted... but you also have to consider if this is a sign of things to come... think about that one.

For me,depends on the situation...depends on the relationship,the openess,the culture,the finance,the point of view.It's all depends on each other....If should help each other.But mostly,man should buy.But some,they split specially if they already living together or known for so long or been friends.Or financially man isn't financially stable....If you want to split,why not?When you get married his money is your money.His bills is your bills.......
