I saw this online and wanted to know what you ladies have to say:
For real.She should wait until 10+ of married years before she starts throwing "that's why you are single" shade.
All three of those rings are ugly.
DH proposed with no ring and we went to pick one up after I said yes.
A ring is a symbol of financial security and commitment. It's also become a part of the ritual.
I do think people should keep in mind that a lot of men presenting rings have horrible credit and tons of debt, which, to me, is not financial security. I've seen too many women with nice rings struggling financially several years into the marriage.
I want my daughter to get a ring. But I also want her to review thoroughly the finances of anyone who is a potential husband. That's more important than a ring. And I'm not talking about what kind of car he drives and what kind of house he's in. It's deeper than that. And deeper than a ring.
I lost my ring a month later. I have a different set now but I miss my originalThat's what we did. I only wear my band unless I'm going out somewhere. I wasn't allowed to wear it at work anyway, so I just got used to being free of it.
My guess is he was only able to afford those ugly rings after living with a financially stable wife.
