when he got engaged the first time he gave this woman a ring of $5.500.00, but they never got married he broke up with her and asked her the ring back, when he asked me to marry him he gave me a nice ring but it cost $1.100.00 no even half of hers. What can I do to don't feel so much anger because of that?

Trust me, the price does not matter. It's the thought that counts. When I bought my wife a ring, it was on a credit card which was written off. He probably used HARD EARNED MONEY to get you this ring.

Why do you know how much he paid for her ring in the first place? Do not look at the price difference as a slight to you or his love for you, but rather he learned a lesson the first time around. If the two of you do marry and it all goes well, then maybe you can trade your ring up on your anniversary or something.

He made a big mistake (in terms of price) the first time so he ain't repeating that again. Look at the glass as how full and not how empty. This jealousy will get you in trouble for a long long time.
If you look at the materials (gold and platinum), no wedding bands should cost thousands of dollars anyway. I didn't have much when I got married and the wedding bands for 2 only cost $250. Now we are very well off and she has other jewelry.
You do what you can afford at that time of your life and not dig big holes to fill some fantasies.

I can understand how you might be feeling that this signifies how much he loves you in comparison to how much he loved her. But I would try not to read too much into it. Perhaps he had more money to spend on a ring back then. Or perhaps he has learned that blowing a ton of money on a pricey engagement ring does not guarantee the stability of the engagement. He obviously loves you. He has asked you to be his wife. Try to focus on that fact instead of brooding about the ring. If you find that you cannot get over the issue regarding the ring....you might want to rethink the engagement. If you truly love this man and want to spend the rest of your life with him, then the price of the ring should not be an issue.

You sound really selfish and shallow. Does the price of the ring really matter? Do you like the ring? Do you love him? Those are the things that you need to be asking yourself. You can always get something bigger later on.
Money does not equal love. Just something to remember!

Men sometimes try to buy love with expensive gifts. Maybe, he realized that this other woman only viewed him as a wallet and that was part of the reason their relationship ended. He could be focusing on the idea that he feels complete with you and doesn't feel the need to purchase your love. It could be that he is more in love with you than he was with the other woman and only wants you and thinks therefore you only want him.

Don't you think the fact that he asked you is more important than the price of the ring. Anyways maybe he is just saving the money for more important things...like a house to live in if you get married....a honeymoon vacation...etc.
Plus maybe he doesn't feel like he has to buy your love or try to impress you because your soulmates.....(or maybe not since your so upset).

Are you kidding me? You are throwing a fit over the price? Just be thankful you have one. I have been with my boyfriend for 2 years. We have talked about getting married More than once, but I still don't have a ring. It doesn't make me love him any less. I am just thankful that I have him.

The size and cost of the ring doesnt matter, he is asking for your hand. Maybe he just doesnt have that kind of money this time. Be greatful for what you do have not complain cause someone got more than you.

You seriously need to let that go. What does it matter how much he spent on the ring, as long as he bought it. Perhaps he saved up a really long time to get the first ring, and haven not gotten married, he couldn't afford another $5500 ring. You need to concern yourself with the fact that you actual make it to the wedding, since he has a propensity to cancel. It's not the ring that's important, it's the man and the marriage.

tell him that only thing that matters to you is how much things cost,because you put a cost on love. Then buy him a pair of running shoes .
