In the first place, why must it be a DIAMOND ring ?!? Its all
been commercialized (just like santa) and the only ones laughing to
the banks are the jewellers.
I personally believe the guy should buy a ring within his means
(not necessarily a diamond ring) and not go into debt to buy one by
maxing his credit card or borrowing/over draft/ah long.
Some of the ladies say if he really loved you he would get you one
... well I would say if you really love your man you should not be
trying to put him into debt. Putting him into debt to prove his
love, dun forget after you marry him you have to help him carry
that burden.
If he buys expensive stuff for himself but scrimps on the ring its
another thing ... but if clearly he can't afford it ... you should
stop him, not allow him to go ahead, however much he loves you and
wants to do it.
Well thats my opinion.
