I just saw an ad for an engagement ring where the tag was " This is the beginning of forever" I thought No,forever Must start way before a guy buys a ring. It starts when you know you love someone and they love you back.After that , it is up each couple if there is a ring or not! Your thoughts.

I think way too many people get caught up in ‘forever’.. I thought I was in a forever relationship too, just like everyone else who puts a ring on their finger. Come to find out, my wring was a cubic Zerconia… what a rip on forever. I had the ring sized and they don’t take the diamond out when they do that… the next thing I know I get a call from the jeweler and he tells me what happened. He asked why I didn’t tell him it was a CZ… and I had no idea! So a ring is what it is.. just a ring.. it doesn’t mean there is going to be a forever… the people will determine that themselves.

Wait a minute, do you mean the relationship was phoney Because of the ring? you all of a sudden didn't love him because the ring wasn't a diamond? Wow! See I don't want a ring. I want forever Instead.Besides I hate diamonds, they are so boring. And I wouldn't be able to anything if I wore a diamond ring, like washing my hair! So even if I believed marriage meant forever, I wouldn't want a ring! It just seems sad that a ring broke things up.

No I didn’t say I didn’t love him because of the ring. I loved him and was married nearly 10 years… it wasn’t forever because he screwed around on me for 2 years under my nose and I was too trusting to actually realize he could be such a liar. The ring is just another thing that should have told me he wasn’t honest… he presented it as a diamond. I would have been fine with a CZ if I knew it was a CZ…don’t tell me it’s a diamond and it’s candy or something. You can have forever AND a ring, nothing wrong with that… it’s up to the people involved. There’s just as much of getting dumped if you are married or not married.
Right now I'd rather not be married and I'd rather not shack up either.. because neither one are forever... at least not for me. How long is forever? For as long as it lasts.

Ok. Now I understand. I like to say ? My part of forever" So far it is a short time but I am hoping it is a very long time. All I can do is love And Respect my guy and make sure he does the same to me. So far so great! But if he ever lied to me , our forever would end. I wish you happiness.

You're right, forever starts with the people themselves. The ring is just a symbol of that forever they want to share. I know deep down that my forever was T way back, but like I said, I could not interfere. But look, we are together now, so I was right. And I did not need a ring to know that.

The merchants like to make an overstatement.It doesn't depend on whether or not thay have an engagement ring that a couple stay together all their life.What is important is that they have mutual affinity.

You can be with Simone and be in live with them and think they are the one but that doesn't mean it's for ever and a ring is a symbol of many things in a relations but you don't need it's part of tradition that a lot of people like. nothing is forever ever but if you feel in your heart that they are the one for you at that time it'll last as long as you both want it. Rings don't last for ever they bend and break, lose there meanings some times even be melted and lost. A ring is a object that shows to others what that personems to you or what you mean to someone else.

But a ring isn't necessary if a couple Knows what they mean to each other. And a love Can last forever. At least your part of forever. For my mom and Dad meant 35 years.For others it maybe longer or shorter but it is forever.
