Should have gotten a 3300.00 ring.
Or better yet, a 500.00 ring
Sorry, I meant to put the amount in U.S. dollars: $4,909.67.
He’s a turkey.
Envision this scenario:
I’m with my hypothetical beloved, having a nice spaghetti dinner at a higher-end Italian-American restaurant. I’m ready to propose. I get on one knee and pull out the ring and pop question No. 1.
Beloved: (with tears of joy) Yes!
Me, with question No. 2: You want to go halvesies on the ring? I really could use the help.
Beloved: Unloads plate of half-eaten spaghetti upon my face.
So there were a bunch of people with strong opinions on the internet.
I could really, truly help them buy a ring. The sad fact is almost no one will take the suggestion that I can help and no one ever asks advice on how to do so, even though I’ve let people know I can help them. I have decided that ignorance can almost not be overcome.
“The age-old rule is that an engagement ring should be three times one’s monthly salary”
Marketing BS.
anyway the guy appears to be a cheapo. Split the cost on bottled water? For real?
I guess it would depend on what the dowry is from her side.
Oh wait! Do they do that anymore?
Sorry Luv, but I imagine this wasn’t the first red flag he’s shown to you.
“Unable to accept his reasoning, the woman took to online forum Dcard last month to air her grievances.”
And in doing so, amply demonstrated that she doesn’t deserve that ring or that man.
The guy is still the one who pays for everything, who loses half of his possessions in a divorce, and who is passed over in college admission and hiring for jobs. But his suitability as a marriage partner depends on his financial status.
But he is an oppressor, sexist, etc.
Hmmmm...get his half, 3,300, and tell him she’ll buy the ring. Then take a NICE solo vacation and send him the vacation photos in a Thank You Card.
Women want a traditional man but don't want to be a traditional woman.
Just what you want in a girlfriend/fiance/wife ... someone who airs the private grievances of your relationship with her onto the world wide web.
If they share finances when they do finally get married, what’s the difference? It all comes out of the same pot.
If she bails out on the wedding I assume she hands back the ring.
He should have just paid for it all and avoided the backlash. The girl is too stupid to realize that he is spending both of their money.
A lot of women are simply NOT READY to be a wife.
15,000 NTD is about 490 US. I think it is a misprint . It should say 150,000 NTD
