mind the walrus posted:Has there ever been a use of this phrasing where the person in-question didn't come across as garbage? I'm asking seriously here. No, typically you don't have to excuse the behavior of a good actor I would say, and also I'm thinking the ring was $10k because he thought he could essentially pay her to shut up. His comments in the thread basically boiled down to telling people to stop questioning his motives and that he didn't really mind marrying this woman at all. Really, no trouble at all, legal benefits will be great. Whether or not they are married doesn't change how much he does or doesn't love her so stop beating a dead horse gosh.

mind the walrus posted:Choicest bits: There is no way you can say that and not be an awful person or the gf actually being terrible. Well she's insulted him over the proposal. She has a fixation on the proposal/marriage and he isn't an important part of it. I've seen people get fixated on having an amazing wedding and honeymoon, then once it's over they eventually get divorced. Things could be worse, she could run off with a different looking Sim.

corn on the cop posted:TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR RING Once upon a time, I commissioned an engagement ring from an acquaintance who was a metal worker. I got it designed with engravings that referenced a favorite thing of my intended victim's and topped it with a sapphire stone (because blue was their favorite color.) It cost $560 and my fiance loved the ring. Was this rare? Did I just get incredibly lucky? Is it normal for women to want their bf/gf to spend thousands of dollars on a ring or a trip to a fancy location or both? Because, to me, spending 10+k on a loving ring is stupid and a waste of resources. That 10k would/could be better spent as a down payment on a car or just tucked away in a Roth IRA or something vastly more useful. Am I just more practical? I had assumed most women were this way. I mean, I don't know about this guy but if someone I wanted to marry reacted to me proposing with complaints about me not making it more special or special enough (ie spending more money on it) I would, if not call the whole thing off immediately, seriously reconsider marrying them. I grew up poor, so big expensive weddings and rings and poo poo just seem like such a waste. I would rather just be gifted the kind of money that would be spent on a huge elaborate wedding and a glamorous dress and whatever else to use for more permanent/semi-permanent things. To me it's not the wedding that's important, it's the marriage. Maybe I'm just weird?

Nobody wants a $10,000 dollar ring if the proposal attached to it is "Yeah, I guess I wouldn't mind being married; it's no trouble at all." I don't think we can assume anything about that guy's girlfriend from his version of events.

Rings can be priced in the thousands easily if they have diamonds in them. I'd totally believe that a rube being sold a ring for a really shallow superficial fiancee could end up spending 10 grand. The diamond industry is one of the shadiest ones in existence (they invented the rule that you give a girl a diamond when you propose to her themselves, inflated their prices artificially, and invented further rules later like the "two month's salary" thing which makes me wanna puke), and "engagement ring stores" like Zales or Jared basically exist so hucksters who are too smart to be used-car salesmen can extract as much money as possible from well-meaning guys who have no idea what they're doing or what is realistically expected of them. There are tons of gimmicks which jack up the price while making the ring look as garish and gaudy as possible so you feel like you're getting something for it, "halo" rings are my favorite example of this because they're tacky as poo poo. While watching the World Series I saw a commercial for this line of rings that has TWO diamonds on it. In the commercial it showed a guy getting his girlfriend or wife or whatever this double-diamond ring for no particular reason, Just To Show How Much He Loves Her (and hates money). It's pretty loving evil. (Another favorite tidbit of mine is that they take the lovely discolored diamonds no one wanted, named them after things that people associate with romance like champagne or chocolate, and marked them up again, and apparently people fall for this) My wife's engagement ring was in the low 4-digit range because (a) she wanted a diamond specifically, but (b) I am a savvy consumer who learned the Diamond Stats and shopped around at warehousing sites to find a min-maxed diamond that came from Canada rather than being mined by an abused child slave in Rhodesia somewhere loquacius fucked around with this message at 13:39 on Nov 4, 2016 |

I'm (19F) really poo-shy around my boyfriend (20M) of 1.5 yearsquote:We've been living together for almost a year now and together for 1.5 (it was originally due to convenience because he lived near my uni and work and it worked out well so we decided to make it permanent and moved out of a sharehouse).

Jack Trades posted:Open the faucet to mask the sounds. It's not hard to figure out, geez. Me and my girlfriend have never been poo shy with eachother, but her old roommate was/is ridiculously ashamed to the point that she would set a very quiet alarm to 3am, sneak to the bathroom, and take a dump. According to my girlfriend she still does this at her new place with her boyfriend of ~2 years.

I feel like if it's been 1.5 years, you really need to get over yourself using the bathroom with your partner nearby. It's like passing gas, of course you'll do everything to hide it when you start dating because you're in that weird mindset of trying to present an idealized version of yourself, but at a certain point you need to drop the illusion.

Cumslut1895 posted:probably not? I'm sure most of them would end up in (far healthier) BDSM type relationships if they didn't exist. I want this life and I don't think fiancé does quote:What is the problem? (Don’t badmouth your SO!) I want this life so bad it hurts, but I don't think it's what he wants. When we met, he was your typical "alpha male" (from my perspective) to the point where he was very controlling and it took a toll on my mental health a bit. I loved him, stuck with him, he had some mental health issues/trust issues that were leading to these behaviors, and through time and many of his tests, he trusted me. We moved in together, he got me a ring and got down on one knee, he is no longer controlling, my emotional needs and trust issues have started to come out and he's been very responsive, patient, kind. This is great right? Why am I even complaining??? Well all I do is complain. I've been reading here, trying to reel things in a bit, keep things under control. It's hard. Super fan of the standard format though (poo poo in italics), totally not weird.

Charles Get-Out posted:Yeah reading a bit more it becomes apparent that a lot of this is thinly-veiled BDSM power exchange junk couched as a social philosophy. I agree with your read on the situation, but I think if she made it clear to her husband that she wants him to boss her around because it makes her her tingly in her happy zone rather than because it's what she philosophically thinks is logically correct, he might be less weirded out by it. Or more weirded out depending on how that goes. Either way I think she should try telling him that before breaking it off, because the worst-case result is that they break it off anyway. This reads like the opening to a Roald Dahl book or something
