When you want a 'no'

I feel like even calling this a ring is an insult to actual jewelry

Life tip: if you don't already KNOW the answer is yes, don't ask. It's too early.

Or speedrun the rejection with a ring from Claire's 5 for $5

I had a girlfriend asking me like twice a week for a year- when I was going to propose and then I did and she said no.

When they ask you like that.. it's the cue o have a conversation on the F-ing subject. What are your hopes and dreams, kids, quick wedding or elaborate.. you know.. discuss what the future would hold together.

Once you have had those conversations you also know what the answer to a proposal will be.

We did all of that but then she decided she wanted someone who went to the same church, she told me maybe if I joined her church. Her church beat two children to death trying to expel demons. We actually separated after we couldn't work it out

Sounds like you dodged a large bullet there

I don't even get how it's iron man 3 themed? The Mk 42 was mostly gold

This looks more reminiscent of the suit he wore at the beginning of Iron Man 2

I think its based on the chest reactor?

[–] [email protected] 63 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Maybe that's why she said no.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago

I can't marry this man! He doesn't even know his iron man suits!

i will never understand that stupid craze about expensive engagement rings... i engaged to my wife without a ring. It was just a very emotional situation, i was sure that i wanted to ask her... and then i just asked. No ring, no special event planned out or something... just asked her, and she said yes.

People paying cars worth of money for a ring is so unbelievable for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

The industry programmed everyone to pay silly amounts for a ring.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I got my fiancee a gold cat bell instead of a ring. Granted it was a bit pricey but it has special meaning to us and it was definitely not worth cars amount of money like some people spend.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

I got mine cat ears and she got mad at me.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Plus it's harder for her to sneak up on you now

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

The real benefit.

sunset, silver ring. cost me about $20.

I gave my wife a ring made out of coconut. Cost me $2 and she instantly dropped it off the balcony if the resturaunt we were at. The Thai owner of the place climbed off the balcony into the boulder field underneath and spent 20 minutes looking for it. Even after I explained that it was only a cheap coconut ring. He said the price isn't the point, it's the memories!
He found it, what a legend.

I carved a wood ring for her, and she was surprised I popped the question after I was carving it in front of her and sizing it against her finger

Back when my wife and I were still dating, she found a cheap ring she loved. It was just a normal jewelry ring with her favorite stones in it, not a fancy engagement ring or anything. But she loved it so much, she told me that if I ever proposed to her, she gave me permission to steal it from her and re-present it as an engagement ring. Which I did.

I felt bad about it though. I took the ring to propose, but my plans fell through and it took me a few more days to arrange a new proposal plan. She had forgotten all about our conversation, so the whole time she was tearing the house apart, looking for her favorite ring. She loved that I "found" it and gave it back to her with a proposal.

“Once upon a time” an expensive engagement ring worked as a sort of bride price and was a hedge against the risk of premarital sex.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (7 children)

How does buying/wearing a ring prevent premarital sex?
