Is he too cheap?

Really . . . if your ex-bf had the charisma of a young George Peppard I could see that . . . othewise, well, no!

I always used to tell my ex-boyfriend (when he was my boyfriend, of course), that if we got to that point, and he gave me a Cracker Jack ring, that would be enough... just because it was from him. (Also, it's SO Breakfast at Tiffany's...) But, alas, looks like we didn't get to that point.

So, money-wise, I don't see a huge problem with this situation. I work, and I know $40,000 is not that much money. However, I agree that it is a problem that he is buying something that is so obviously not her style... Marriage is a HUGE step, and it should be something that you have discussed at length, and that you know you both want. So, if this couple is serious enough to discuss marriage, I would think the topic of the ring could casually come up.

Maybe she should admit she was SNOOPING (Naughty!) and they can talk about it... just kidding.
