Pick posted:We are all of the same species, and no distinction whatever is between us, except that which arises from fortune. For example, your footman and cook would be your equals were they as rich as you. Being poor they are obliged to serve you. Therefore, you must not add to their misfortunes by insulting or ill-treating them. If your situation is preferable to theirs, be thankful, without either despising them or being vain of your better fortune. You must, therefore, treat all your inferiors with affability and good manners, and not speak to them in a surly tone, nor with harsh expressions, as if they were of a different species. A good heart never reminds people of their inferiority, but endeavors to alleviate their misfortunes, and make them forget them. This is a really good read.

Dude should be doing backflips his GF is that frugal/sensible on what ring she wants. We’ve seen plenty in this thread of women going nuts/overly materialistic (you need to buy me a bigger rock later/I’ll check to make sure it’s a real diamond/demanding a $25K ring just to name a few winners). Just pay the $1600 and get over it duder.

Sounds like he's finding the ring requirements too expensive with that bit about "focusing on the gesture". Assuming he can afford it fine though, I'd say it's too late to have a say and now he should just suck it up and get what she wants to have, although personally I at least agree with the sentiment it's lame af to get people gifts that they have specified in advance and are expecting. At that point it just becomes less of a gift and more of a bureaucratic formality. Even if it robs the ring-giving of most of its emotional impact and symbolism as a gesture, I guess that's better than him buying a ring she hates but feels obligated to wear.

I can understand wanting to be the one that picks out the ring so that it's something you give the person but lol at the guy thinking that's more important than her liking the ring. I can't imagine how many women receive rings they hate but have to pretend to love them. I'm not even talking about small rings but the ridiculous looking ones that aren't expensive but are trying to look expensive.

Xun posted:Wait what's this about Ikea destroying relationships? I thought it was more the assembly than the shopping. It’s probably best to follow all the instructions on your own and only ask for help on the steps that absolutely require two people. I can see couples who have a dynamic of “helpfully” second-guessing and interfering with each other constantly having a real bad time.

Well maybe I've just taken it wrong but it's always seemed to be more about the woman nesting down while the guy was like 'why the hell have we been here 2 hours looking at the same cheap furniture yet we're no closer to the door?' than any problems cursing at pictures of little men screwing together parts you haven't found yet from the box. Though maybe that's because my wife just asks me a couple of times if I need her to hold anything then just leaves the room when I start yelling at it.

Then you have to go home and put it together.

Seriously, I wish my wife had helped pick out her ring, I had no idea what I was doing. Also, a $1600 engagement ring is fine and indicates she's not at all crazy, as opposed to the ladies who want rings that are $10,000 +. Dude has picked himself a winner and is all butthurt over the ring being a "surprise." If the engagement is not a surprise, why should the ring be? If both parties have mutually agreed to an engagement/wedding before the formal proposal, why not pick out the rings together?

EKTORP, JUST GET THE GODDAMN THING AND LET'S GO, then two days later you find yourself sullenly serving dinner out of Tupperware containers to a person who is giving you a death glare that says "don't say a loving word about the goddamn bowls or I will flip this loving table over". Then the table collapses because you couldn't agree on how to put it together. Ikea is the worst.

My engagement ring cost $1600 and I picked it out myself because, unlike the whiny baby boy above, I understand that if you're going to drop thousands of dollars on a gift, it needs to be to the recipient's taste or else every time they look at it they're going to see thousands of dollars worth of reminder that you don't care what they like or want. I also picked it out myself because I'm violently allergic to most metals.

Give each couple a book at the beginning and make the complete challenges a la Raiders of the Lost Ark.
