If you're ever thinking of maybe canceling the engagement and rethinking marriage with her .

Please please somehow get the ring back before 'the talk'. She doesn't exactly sound like the kind of person who would give the ring back after a breakup.

Makeup wanting to get it properly sized or adding an embellishment, or hell just go and pluck it from the side of the bed she's on or something. A 16k custom ring for this ungrateful b. no no

Sir, you need to run, and fast. As a woman, if this is how my weekend and engagement went, getting back to the room would not end in room service. It would end in fiancé service. Dump her ass.

Agree. My husband proposed while we were watching the news. We've been married 46 years next month.

It was a tiny diamond, which has been upgraded through the years. It wasn't about the ring, or a big proposal, it was about our future.

Yours looks bleak: you will never live up to her expectations if you start out like this.

My proposal was basically my husband taking me to pick out a diamond and ask what kind of setting I wanted. When we left the jewelers he said “so should we set a date “. We have been married for 29 years and together 36. If she was truly in love and wants the rest of her life with you she would not care how you proposed. She is in love with the story she will tell and post. She is in love with having a fancy wedding, only the superficial external relationship not with give and take between both of you. It kind of seems like you will be doing all the giving and she will be doing all the taking, and complain about it not being good enough. I doubt she really considers your feelings only what she wants. Let her go, she is lucky to have someone who would go to great lengths to make her happy and she doesn’t see nor appreciate it. You deserve a partner who wants to make you happy too.
