So he popped the question back in October, but we had just finished relocating and moving house and he was upgrading jobs, so money was real tight!  He gave me a VERY pretty but inexpensive little diamond ring as a token until he got the new job under his belt and he could buy the one he wanted.  Well, Christmas cost money, then he had to change jobs again which left a gap in the income and here it is May...AND NO RING!!  I know it's not his fault..but AAAAHH!

How shallow and horrible am I!? I keep telling him it doesn't matter "as long as I'm with you, even my little ring will do!"  But we all know I'm just saying that to be polite!   But I'm not a horrible money grubbing person...really!!

He's pulling in good dosh now so hopefully soon I'll have one to show off..wish me luck!

Me and him..August 4, 2007

tee-hee...I can understand where you are coming from. Maybe a gentle reminder is in order as your FH has said when there is more money, well the time is now and the fact that he has told you that when money was better, he would get you another says it all. Maybe when you go shopping for a wedding band, you could choose a set with both an ering and wedding band. I don't know how I would handle your situation but I don't think you are shallow as I think every girl has a vision for their ering and you are no exception. Best of luck to you!

Well if he's not going to fork over the $$$ for the e-ring.. just go to Cartier and pick out your GORGEOUS wedding band! lol  That's what my aunt did! lol 
I don't think you are greedy, I think every girl wants a ring she can show off (whether or not they admit it is another thing!)

You're not a horrible money grubbing person just because you'd like a nicer ring....having said that , you're a naughty girl for playing games lol.. be Honest with him girl ....did it ever occur to you he believes you when you tell him"my little ring will do"? Being open and honest is very important in a relationship. Good Luck Dee...you'll get your ring

Oh don't worry...he knows!

I try to be polite about it though, like "oh, all I need is this ring.  But when do you think I'll be getting the other one? Just curious.  Soon, you think?"

He gets the picture.

I went through the same thing... so after five months of waiting you know what I did? I had a serious talk with FH about my serious womanly need for a rock

He and I agreed that it was time for him to swallow his pride and put the ring on a payment plan.  I picked out my ring and we went in monthly and made payments on it.  Eventually one day five months later, we had enough money to put a lump sum down on it and pay it off.  He picked up the ring and took it home that day and asked me to marry him all over again

Good luck!
