we went shopping together and DH wouldn't spend very much, so he chose and knows that an extra $500 would have got me the ring I wanted and I would still be wearing it today. Instead I wear my wedding ring (which I chose) and my eternity ring (which I chose) and a wedding ring that matches his wedding band I bought with inheritance from my grandmother.

If you think you will like what he buys, let him do it, otherwise be involved, as you will be wearing it for a long time.

I hope he pops the question soon ..... Valentine's Day??
