you are obviously coming from a position or thought where the money and monetary decisions in a relationship stays very separate.   The perspective changes a lot when that basic assumption is not true.   No judgements....just a very different way of being together.

The 749 was actually a wedding present.  

A Monster 695 came before that.  I also inherited his ST4, when he bought an ST4s.  

Seriously, I'm far too practical to care about bling.  

To be honest, if he had bought me the equivalent $$$ as power/wood working tools I would be just as happy, if not happier.

talking about an engagement ring, its one thing if times are rough and one cannot afford something nice, its another thing if the guy has a jay oh bee and still goes out and gets her the cheap fi dolla jammie from canal street.

No. I would not be bent. Not every girl thinks that way but there are some of us who truly do not care. Have you seen somegirl's ring? Not every girl thinks how you assume they do. That's what several of us have been trying to explain.

Uh, I threw the wife a 50 cent ring and I do alright. Girl was not bent. Girl was excited. It was about me spending forever with her an no one else, not about how much money I could sink into something shiny.


Sorry dude-95% of the people in here are telling you you're off base because you are. Not all girls are materialistic-just because you can't imagine it doesn't mean it's not true.

Just so happens they are not on this board.
