I'm sure you have your own "unattractive red flags" yourself. So do I. We are human, after all. Relationships are about compromise, understanding, and doing things for the other person to make them happy that we may not understand or agree with. This is one of those things. The only reason people in this thread get so bent out of shape on this particular decision (ill speculate) is because of the amount of money involved. Other similar things do not get nearly as much scrutiny. This tells more about an obsession over money on the part of that person than it does about the girl wanting the ring. If your partner doesn't want one, great, but why does it seem fit to say on this particular thing to cast such judgement and provide such passionate explanations as to why you refuse to spend money on this, no matter what she wants? Basically these threads boil down to money, not ethics, not morals, not character, not de beers, or any of that bullshit. It's only an issue because of a high price tag. There are millions of other issues that have thorny ethical consequences but the reason this thread is so filled with passionate arguments judging other people is because of the amount of money involved.
