I see the price of the ring my bf gave me...--- shock to follow!

Something similar happened to me. My ex-boyfriend bought me a ring long time ago. It looked expensive, and my ex told me that he had been saving up for a long time so that he could buy me a beautiful and expensive ring. Some time passed, my ex and I were no longer together and I was in need of money, so I decided to sell the ring. I took the ring to the shop and asked them about the price, I was shocked to hear the answer, because it turned out that the ring had been very cheap! Don't get me wrong, money and expensive things have never been important to me, and it would have been totally okay if my ex had bought me a cheap ring. It is the thought that counts and if he had been honest about it, everything would have been fine, but I don't like the way he lied to me, and I don't like the fact that he pretended that it was an expensive ring.

It's ok, even if the price is buy one take one candy free just kidding. Anyway if you truly love the person you won't mind it. He should have known better not to gift you something you can personally find in the mall lolz.. But it is up to you my friend. Just say thanks when someone gave you a gift right. We don't usually ask the giver how much is the gift. With arms wide open we accepted the gift. Happy Mylotting.

Hi Manya!I believe in buying standard things.If I have money I would buy the best thing possible with that limited resource.If i cannot buy the best ring maybe I will be able to buy the best greeting card with the same amount.My husband had a habit of buying cheap dress and putting a new tag over it.Then when i told him he realized I would rather have an imitation earring than a dress but it should be the best.

It is not the price that matters, it the thought that counts. Love should not br based upon the price of the gift that your partner is giving you. I think it should be based on how well you love each other. Besides, when you get married having a good family is your main concern, it is not on how expensive your house is. For me, material things are only secondary.

I can´t imagine measuring a gift by it´s price. But I guess thre are all kinds of people in this world. Nevertheless, if what I liked about a man were his gifts, I wouldn´t go any farther. Money is lost, people stay the same. I don´t check on the price of anything they give me. My loved ones don´t either. Sometimes the present is more expensive, sometimes it insn´t. On Christmas, everyone around me get a big jar of homemade apricot jam from my tree. By the way, even the jars are recycled. I think you should break up with him soon and get yourself a rich man

You should be happy you know. Your boyfriend knows how to get value for his money. he would probably make a very good husband like that. As long as he wasn't pretending that it was more than it cost, then I'd be very happy with him.

Don't look at the price but the meaning of the gift you get. If he is smart and pay less than regular price, means that he is smart... I like gifts that didn't make someone broke....

This reminds me of what we used to do with my mother. Whenever we would give her a card for her birthday, she would always turn the card over and look at the price on the back! We had no idea why she would do this but it felt insulting -- like she was judging whether we bought a card that was "nice enough" because of its price. So, what we started doing was, any time we gave a card, we took a pen or marker and neatly blacked out the price It would drive crazy but she got the message that we didn't appreciate her evaluating if we "spent enough" on her gifts and cards. We always bought her very nice things. If I was just dating a guy and I accepted a gift of a ring, it would be because I really cared for him a great deal and I was thrilled by the gift. I don't think a ring of any kind is a gift that should be taken lightly. It has more meaning to me than, say, giving someone a tshirt, you know? A ring is generally given when someone is in a really caring and probably more serious or committed relationship (even if it's a promise ring or a friendship ring). You thought the ring looked expensive when you received it so it must be a nice ring to you It doesn't matter what he paid. Maybe the mall where you saw the ring is not where he bought it. Maybe it's not even the same ring but a similar one. It really is not important. He bought it for you because he cares for you. How much he paid for it is irrelevant. Like we did with my mom, you can't gauge how he feels about you by the price tag. Enjoy your gift

the fact that he bought u a gift should be enough for u. its the feelings that should matter in a relationship not the economics.......

I was about to ask why the price of the ring mattered, but I found my answer in the last part of your last sentence: "...because if I break up with him, I may sell this ring for a good price!..." Are you already fantasizing about what you'd buy if you did break up with him and sold the ring? It sounds this way to me, but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. Still and all, the fact that your boyfriend bought the ring for you should be enough to make you happy, not the price tag that came with it.

Since you stated yourself, it looks expensive, I am sure everyone think the same too. Honestly for me, although I would love big diamond ring (who doesn't?) I would be happy if my boyfriend give me anything. It show that he has the thought to do that, which he rarely does.

The way I look at it is that if someone works hard and gives you a gift like a ring because they love you, it should not matter what the price is. A gift is a gift. Would you really want a gift that the other person could not afford? Perhaps if you show that you like his gifts then you might get a nice surprise some day. I remember being young and buying similar gifts, it's hard when you want to buy a nice gift but just can't afford it. It makes you so happy when the person you give the gift to lights up when you give it to them. It is stressful and complicated for sure.

You should be gratefull for that what really matters is the intention and not the money he spend with you I hate people that are too materialist go over him and say thank you really much. The intention is what really matters!!!!

well , it truly happens ,can a man express a little here ,haha i am a man , i konw man ,a man will buy his girl a good thing ...... he would give the best he can to show that he love you if he does ,i am like that , i have a girl friend , i love her ,she is amazing ,she is naive ,think little ,and like to have fun . once we are go window shopping ,she just stay wherever she is ,and she saw a pedler selling small stuff ,then she saw a "necklace"-----4 dollars,she liked it ,she wanna it ,i dont wanna pay for it ,i mean ,that cant not be called a serious necklace ,at last , i bought it ,i said that is just a small thing , it cant be my necklace present for you ,she said ok . i can buy thing cheap for my girl , like bags , books ,earphone , no brand ,....that is ok for me ,but when it comes to [ring],[necklace], i got to take it seriously , it cant be too cheap, it stand for love . at last , i am gonna tell you , you boy love you ,because there are exeptions ,one is , maybe he is working hard to save more money ,to invest some big stuff ,to preparing to mary you ,anyway it is not a ring marrige,so it is ok ,i guess your boyfriend must be a work harder.

Its the thought that counts. I haven't get a ring as a gift in my entire life from my boyfriends. I dreamed before that my bf (he's my ex-bf now) gave me a ring from Romania, its very expensive and unique as its an exclusive ring design with a diamond. I would be happy if my bf would buy me one at least I would be happy to know that he wants to keep me.

it must be very hard for him to buy a very expoensive things. Mainly in this economy. If the love is really good, its very nice. Hope you are not complaining.

That was very nice of him to give you a nice ring. I would be shocked over the price also. If my husband did that for me, I may have him take it back because we need our money for other things, but if your BF has it to spare, enjoy it.

I don't really mind if my hubby will give me some cheap rings or anything like that. I think what really matters is that he remembered to give me presents. Besides, the way the economy is going these days, the most practical thing to stir away from expensive things and save money.

I really do not think it matter how much the ring cost but rather what the message behind it is. I carry a 50 cent ring tat my bf got for me 2 yrs ago while we were shopping at a flea market and I think it is the most beautiful ring just because it brings back such great and hilarious memories from that day
