Is he too cheap?

No No No.

The men are not saying that the Ring is not an important piece of symbolism that is imbued with a romantic theme.

What the men and the women in this thread are saying is that:

1. 40k a year is not much money, especially if he has bills.

2. She shouldn't have accidently been investigating his bookmarks.

3. We don not see the direct correlation between the price of the ring and either his love or committment.

Think about it folks . . . beyond the obvious, this is not what I fantasized about theme in this thread, is the idea that the guy should prove his love though his purchase lol . . .

So the wealthier you are the more love you can show. OR
perhaps, regardless of your wealth, you should spend enough money on a ring to make a serious dent in your economic viability.

Thank you everyone for your input. I especially wanted to hear the male perspective which seems to be, as I expected, that the ring itself isn't as symbolic and emotional as some women make it out to be.

Anyway, from what I understand it really was discovered accidently while looking for something else but I agree that they may have much larger issues here.
