Amen sister!

Look you tell him once, twice, there is no point of perusing something that he doesn't want to do!!!

It just brings more cause for an argument that can be avoided!

People often sell lots of things they never intended to sell--it has nothing to do with planning a divorce. When a lady has a great guy, "D" is the last thing on her mind.

Anyways, if I get a gift I do not want, I might sell it. She may avoid the argument, verbally; but, if she made clear that it is not what she wants, and finds the family struggling later---an argument could still ensue, when she finds herself selling it.

WHAT woman would not TULLY want a real expensive diamond!!

Yes she wont mind a cheaper stone, but if she is given an expensive one she is not gonna argue, that being said, I doubt that she just LIKES an ASHA or MIRA better!!!!!

Anyway, buying what he want which is the best, and make a girl happy is not gonna cause an argument, not getting something that both want MIGHT

Some people don't actually like diamonds, George. Even people with the money to buy them. Diamonds have a really soiled reputation now as most of us, I believe, do not feel ok about buying something that people have suffered over...be it human rights issues, working conditions, murder, rape, etc... Not to mention the ecological destruction mining leaves behind.

I have a diamond, and love it. But we did everything we could to make sure is was conflict free. But for some, and rightly so, that is not enough, and they do not want to support it at all.

It is her ring, she has to wear it. Her opinion is the most important in this case.

+1

True, but she did not want it (as far I understood it) not because of the believes, mostly b/c of its value!

Just a friendly note George, I am sure you're NOT a hostile person, but when you put several exclamation points behind every sentence, it reads as if you're yelling at the reader, which I'm sure, is NOT your intention, and is also off-putting. Just thought I'd point that out.

I am a woman who does NOT want a real expensive diamond. I personally think it's a waste of money. I prefer my sims and wouldn't have it any other way!

I agree with Joyce. I can have just about any stone/ring of my choice, my fiance was willing to buy whatever it was that would make me happy. I told him: no diamonds. I do not wish to walk around wearing something that could have paid off a huge chunk of my student loan debt, or helped pay for the wedding, or god forbid I am wearing a ten thousand dollar rock and I manage to damage it, reducing its value to nada. All a ring does is sit and look pretty on my finger while letting the world know I am taken. The $500 ring isn't going to look any less gorgeous than the $10,000. If he had purchased such a ring without my knowledge, we would have an honest discussion about it and exchange the ring for something I could wear with confidence.

So, yes to my man, no to a really expensive diamond. =)
