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

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.

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.

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'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.

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.......

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.

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....

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.

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
