He buys me VERY cheap jewelry. He means well, but it always breaks and totally looks fake. I love really nice jewelry, but I don't want to hurt his feelings. What do I say?

people are saying you are selfish,that's not being selfish,you just know what you like and what you want.Next time you go to the mall or something take him in a nice jewelry store and just browse and find something you like.Then you tell him."Oh hunny that right there would make me the happiest woman alive" (it works on me every time)lol

I know what you mean. My husband use to do the same thing. I have cheap wedding rings, I don't wear the engagement ring because it looks too fake. I just tell him that I am scare that a diamond is going to come out so I don't were it around the house and when we go somewhere I forget to put it on. When you go to the mall with him say let go in the jewel store and gush over some jewelry you like.

I don't know anything about jewelry. I learned to buy my wife the good stuff. I would watch & listen to her when she was looking at jewelry. Then I'd go back & by her the same thing or close to it for special occassions. Tell him the cheap stuff, doesn't last.

There is an old saying which states, " Sometimes you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.", which means that sometimes you may have to risk hurting someones feelings to get a desired result. I had an ex that used to my me cheap clothes quite often. She was very kind and her gifts were a nice jesture, but it finally reached a point where I had to tell her that I would prefer her to save up and me one nice article of clothing, then a lot of cheaper ones. While her feelings were kind of hurt, I reassured her that I was thankful and that my love for her was unconditional, and wasn't based on her gifts or material objects. Hope this bit of info helps. I iwll keep you in my prayers. Peace and God bless.

Consider yourself lucky that your man loves you enough and thinks about you enough to buy you Anything. Most women in a long term relationship would love ANYgift from their man because the "gifts" usually stop after the courtship.
So? The stuff he buys is cheap. If you want the good stuff, stop complaining and go buy it yourself and still be thankful for having a thoughtful man who really trys his best to make you happy by buying you little things. He's at least doing SOMETHING to show you he loves you still.

Tell him you really appreciate him buying you jewelry but you would love it even more if he took you with him and did it as a couple.

Nothing, maybe he feels it is all he can afford. You really don't realize how lucky you are to have one who wants to buy anything for you. Take it in stride and the next time both are at the mall, go by a jewelery store and say something about a piece you see and like. Maybe he will get the hint.

well... tell him that you are hard on your jewelry - that you love him buying you things, but you can't keep it together and need certain brands that hold well... it's better to be honest with him... at least he's buying you jewelry and thinking of you!! How sweet!

you DON'T say anything...you suggest things that are SLIGHTLY more expensive (wow this is nice..hon did you see this? I liked this combo-if you need a hint hon..I liked those earrings)...like a necklace/earrings combo from macys or JCPenny or somethig like that...NOT TOO much ...but enough that he sees what you are looking for...
don't go saks 5th avenue on him...or he'll think you are ungrateful..OR...buy him some halfway decent jewelry...stuff that he'd appreciate but maybe ..it is a bit nicer...just to suggest that he up the ante ..but be NICE about it....all the while you NEED to be using what he has already gotten you...
