Am I asking for too much?

[ConfusedInNJ]

My boyfriend and I are pretty straight forward with what we want/looking forward to in the future. We dated for 2 1/2 years and recently spoke about getting married at a court house since we're already living together. We go 50 % on everything financially. I must say I'm pretty much happy with him and the accomplishments we've made as a whole. But recently he's been hinting about what my preferences are in the engagement ring I want and sort of trying to convince me of choosing a cubic zirconia vs a diamond because someone he knows suggested it. Am I wrong for wanting a diamond, which he makes more than enough currently to afford one. Please advise

You might want to get this moved to The relationships board.

But personally I’d hold out for a diamond.

How do I move it, Help Im new here

If you want a diamond and it won’t break the bank then just say I would prefer a diamond for my engagement ring. It will last longer and can be passed in to my children. A cz will fall apart and start to look grubby.... or something like that. Or just say I want a diamond in my ring !

Has he jumped through any hoops for you? I like tangible signs of commitment. If it isn't a diamond then look for an alternative sign.

I have asked for your thread to be moved.

7 months later, I’d guess she’s sorted!

Personal I was happy with a CZ ring but we also did not have a lot of money to spend and we wanted a nice long weekend away to celebrate , I am glad I made the choice I did , we had a great time and ended up staying for a week

bugger i did not notice the date !
I wonder how this thread got nudged back in to life
