So he HAS to buy you a ring ..... what will you buy him ????? And of equal value too !!!
If you resent 'HAVING' to buy her a ring, she's just not the one. Its not about "if I give them this, what will I get?" Its about "I want to give them love, and I hope they take my love and give me theirs"


:thumbsup: exactly people who keep a track record of things like that and "expect" something in return are usually bitter, or selfish

I don't expect a man to buy me anything. When they have it's been because they offered. I have been known to give a few gifts myself:)....but not in the spirit of "now you owe ME" whoa

Exactly, Sweetest.
Met a guy like that a couple months ago, dumped him for that reason. A "you kissed me twice, and I kissed you thrice, so you're not getting another kiss till you even the score " type. FO I say!
Sure there's got to be a certain balance, but it shouldn't be measured & weighed.


:thumbsup: Yup I dumped someone who was stingy (and he did not need to be) his reasoning was that women were all gold diggers so he felt that he would be "taken advantage of" by spending money on dates etc....in hindsight I wonder why I bothered ... lol

I also can go along with keeping expenses reasonable, but as time went on this guy was too extreme....whoa

I'm with you 100%, gals. I lived with a boyfriend once who initially agreed to split the bills down the middle. Eventually, he decided that since he worked longer hours, he should have more reward. His solution? I support him while he kept his money to spend as he wanted.

My suggestion in return was that since he made 3 times as much as I did at the time, maybe he should pay 2/3 while I paid 1/3 of the bills. winking I didn't want his support, but I wasn't about to support him, either. Strange that he should find half reasonable all of the sudden...biggrin

Gee, that's a hard question! Would it be a "ring" for you also, which usually costs more than the ladies' ring? huh Or would you prefer another motorcycle? :tongue: noway

The walking out with half your stuff works both ways! My ex could walk away with hLf my stuff despite never contributing to any household.d bill for last 9 years.
Change it to I see the point for lazy people who,don't work...men or women...then I agree with what you say!

Is marriage going out of fashion?


Marriage is not a fashion and it has never been a fashion. It is a contract.

I've done it 4 times.

Good friend did it 10 times. Between each one, his first one would take him back.

I met him at number 7.

Number 7 is heaven.

Number 8 is in the gate.

Number 9 is on the line.

Number 10 is set to win.

He was near 70 when he died and living with his first wife.

If she's not a virgin then no Dowry..I made her buy the rings, she wanted the marriage the rings and I refused to pay for the divorce. I think as adults we need to be accountable for our actions. First of the gold was a compansation to the Family if you took her virginity. Dowry laws(India) have not been in affect over 50 years so I don't no why we are buying rings ..where is men's compensation. So I was saying if the woman wants the marriage & rings then she can pay for 'em if she is a good woman and sticks around then I will pay her back on my death bed.
If I want the marriage then I'll pay but marrage is pass�


Doh, that was the first message of yours ever I could read - chuckle - and now I regret it. whoa
What a bitter view.
What happened to this sensitivity of yours that you spoke of before?
Oh wait, someone you bought a ring trampled on it and now it's got calluses? shades

I wish it would go out of fashion already. I don't understand the point of marriage, especially for men. You have to sign a contract saying that if you ever fall out of love the women you thought loved you can take half your stuff, or all of your stuff and you kids if you had kids with her. It makes sense for a women, if the relationship ends she walks out of it with half or all his stuff. If I trust and love a women and she feels the same towards me, I wouldn't need any more confirmation, proof or gestures.



It doesn't always work out that way..my ex got most of everything. I was a stay at home mom as well who worked on and off. In Canada, if you live common law for a year and split, you risk the chance of losing half. Makes no difference.

I think with so many divorces, people say "why bother"

I didnt have much luck the first time, she pulled this jealous chit and
walked out ahead. Then I got the weddings night on the couchohwell
Lets see! I found out everything is mutual property and I'm not even
legally allowed to kick out anybody If she doesn't want then to go

I'd like to give marriage a shot! Even if it seems like the odds are against me.

guys its clear mariage is slowly coming out of fashion. We may try to resist that mariage is losing impact, but that is a fact becoz its clear its nolonger taken as a seal that can stand forever like in the past. New introduced mariage laws and technology that have never existed in the past have caused unusuall flow of fhe system.

Guys have you ever see how much people lie on the cellphone about places they might be on that particular time of which that doesnt support marriage to last longer.

Stil on technology, social networks including a variety of different devices to easily access the internet, have destroyed trust in many couples,living them shaking to ground.

Mariage and its meaning is likely to become history in the near future
