Just buy her the diamond! If it's something that she really wants, then don't let your own feelings get in the way of that. Thats really selfish. Kind of the gist of being married is compromise.
I mean, seriously, a ring could be had for $3k. You're going to throw away a 5 year relationship with someone you'd like to be married to because you won't buy her something that costs the same as the new stupid MacBook? She's not worth the $3k to you? She's the one who should be having second thoughts.
- aquadrop 10y ago> Thats really selfish And it's not selfish of her to demand spending tons of money 'just because'? Of course each case is individual, but the whole situation can be a signal for a bunch of bad things (bad with money; can't use logic; don't care about man's feelings; etc). Maybe it is right thing to do to cut losses now.
- moises_silva 10y ago> She's not worth the $3k to you? This is one of the most manipulative arguments I've heard from people. I can't put a price on what my wife or son are worth to me, yet, I'd not buy something just at any price because my wife or son want it. Thankfully I was in a position to talk to my wife and she just wanted something symbolic so we went with something for less than 1k. Another good argument to bring in this situation is to show you're willing to spend the money, just not on something like a diamond, offer perhaps take her to a ver nice vacation.
- ionised 10y agoThis is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a while.
