My man gave me a cheap engagement ring that cost less than $100. I'm so good, I deserve better. Should I make him get me a more expensive one?

Oh, all right...this was in 2002. A couple of months before we actually got married. I don't even wear the ring mostly due to my occupation. I only posted the question because I was hoping those who whine about the engagement ring would see how childish they really are. I actually would have been upset had it been much more, because there are better ways that money could have been spent.

Had people going there, didn't I?

A ring does not make the relationship your commitment does.
My engagement ring is small and I love it because my beloved husband worked his tail feathers off to buy it for me and was the only man ever in my life to back up proposing me by asking my fathers hand and for buying me a ring. My 15th wedding anniversary is next year and I will have the ring reset in white gold with a wider band so I wont have to wear two bands anymore. We are married 14 years and it as little to do with what size ring he brought me. Nothing undermines a mans ego than a woman telling him and demanding him what kind of ring she should get. Diamonds are very expensive and are not cheap. If my husband could not have afforded a diamond I would have gotten an emerald. Weddings and engagements are WAY to materialistic and way over the top and too commercialized. Where a persons treasure is there heart is also.

A very sick mama dog is an extremely stressful situation. And I understand your anger at some of the answers that you received. It is normal for you to want to vent back to these folks some of your anger and frustration. So, try to remain calm and keep your focus on your dog & pups. Don't let this cloud your true goal - a healthy dog. And yes, I would love to know this outcome. Kudos to you for your quick action in caring for 7 pups! It isn't easy! I wish that more people would realize that there are situations that stump even the best of vets. While the calicum issue is the most common with these symptoms, it is not the only cause. And your dedication to this dog and her pups is very, very admirable. So, you know that you are responding to this crisis in the best manner possible. You are doing all you can do in an extremely difficult situation. Let God sort out the rest. Peace

Break off this relationship. Not because he's cheap but because you'll make his life miserable. It's not the cost of the ring that matters but the meaning behind it. Apparently you don't get that.

Do you love him? If you love him, why does it matter? It's not about the ring. If you don't love him, again, why does it matter? Then there shouldn't be a ring to worry about.
EDIT: Ha, just saw the details you added. Now that you say that, I agree completely. My fiance proposed with a $150 ring and I absolutely love it.

If you said "yes" then you are wrong to be second-guessing your decision.
However, if you are not happy with the ring, discuss it with him. Is it possibly a test to see if you would accept a cheap ring and you will get a nicer one later? Is it possible this is all he could afford?
I think there is more to this story . . .

Yes, you are wrong. You can not demand anyone to give you any type of gift, or tell them how much they need to spend, including an engagement ring.

Maybe this guy isn't for you. I'm not being mean either. But, if you have a certain expectation and your guy can't fulfil them this early, then you are going to have a difficult marriage.
There is nothing wrong with having certain expectations, however, you need to realize what they are.
If your guy doesn't believe in the same goals, dreams or expectations; then he's not for you.

I don't think you should worry to much about the engagement ring, I think what you should worry about is how much he spends on your wedding ring......
