Am I wrong for being mad at my husband every so often when i think of the fact that he’s been having me wear a fake ring for almost 4 years now?? It was just supposed to be temporary. Here’s 4 years and I’m so insecure about it because people sometimes notice the fake diamond. I know he has 30k cash in his savings and a lot of cd’s/investment. We’ve been through a lot and I’ve sacrificed oso much it’s unimaginable. I feel like i deserve a nice beautiful ring. I don’t like to bring it up because i feel the tension but I’m sick of this! it’s not about the materialistic i know but for me it’s the principle and the meaning behind the ring. It’s my sacrifice. It’s been close to 4 YEARS!!!!! It’s EMBARRASSING

Nope you're not wrong. Honestly I'd just take it off & not wear it anymore. If he doesn't like the idea of you walking around with no ring oh well time for him to get you a real one.
YES! I’ve attempted that multiple times but i feel bad right now because he’s not working and moved to the US recently from Australia. But i still feel like 1.You have money saved up 2. It’s been 4 year and you had a good job. We did a long distance marriage for awhile and i supported myself and our daughter for the most part while he supported himself. I love him he’s a great person and father but you were suppose to buy my ring at lease 3 years ago. After all i did

if he’s not working and moved literal countries then yes. like he worked to save up money. the meaning behind a ring doesn’t matter if it’s real or not it’s the meaning behind it. are you expecting him to spend his entire savings on a ring for you?
of course i don’t expect him to use his entire savings on my ring however I’d like something real. We got $50 rings from Walmart for our court wedding almost 4 years ago. It was suppose to be temporary. As a woman I’d like something forever! Do you know how hard it is lol everything will change the color of this ring! Before he moved here he made 10k a month! And he’d invest everything and we end up struggling or living off of me

Wow material things mean so much to everyone. I was married for years and I had a fake ring the whole time if it doesn't work out has nothing to do with a ring its material 😂

exactly! she says it’s not about material but it is that’s the whole post. i’d be happy with a ring pop 😂

ringpop Deadpool 😂
30k is the liquid asset incase of emergency. Other than insurance and all. I do not expect for him to buy me a 30k ring. I just want something meaningful. Not just because we needed a quick ring at Walmart that cost $50. Something that won’t change in color just because and something that i can maybe pass down to my son and generations. A forever thing.
It’s not about the material. It’s the principle behind the ring. Any woman (most women) would appreciate being gifted something beautiful and that i can keep forever. You ring becomes a part of you. It’s an identity. It’s a symbol of our commitment and i plan to wear it for the rest of my life or gift it to my son one day. A fake ring will eventually not look as beautiful as it did when you first bought it. I want to be at awe Everytime i see my ring. I know he’s going to get me a real one soon but I’m sick of waiting. I would never settle. Sorry that’s just me. I deserve the best because i give the best. It is what it is. I’ve realized that from this post. Don’t ever settle ladies. A ring loop will eventually decay and so will the fake ring. Trust me i know!

so then what is “the best” to you? what would you be happy with? he can buy you a $200 ring that won’t change color and is beautiful would that make you happy? or no because it’s only $200
yes that’ll be nice. The price doesn’t matter as long as its going to be beautiful forever and like you said won’t turn green lol.

If the ring is getting to your. Break up with this man. Y'all wouldn't even be able tobget through any type of financial crisis if this means so much to your. Stop wasting both of your time.
We’ve passed the financial crisis. By the grace of God we are very financially stabled. That’s the point. Finance is not an issue. We have completed every Goal we wanted to reach by the time we were 30. And were 27 including buying our house, his business, having our child, traveling etc. Except the ring. The thing is he just loves to freaking invest invest invest.

That's great! Its definitely tough. Have you said anything to him about the ring recently?

Maybe find a ring you like and show it to him. I
Yes. He’s even got me ring sized and took me into several ring stores and asked me for ideas and when i think it’s finally happening it doesn’t 🙄.

TAKE IT OFF! 😤
lol I’m not delusional right ?!!! Cause i keep getting this a ring is just a ring thing. And it’s not even !
