Just toying with the idea here. I am thinking about proposing in the next year and I never expected I would be in this position.
My sister was just proposed to and dude must have spent like 10 grand on the ring. I think she feels like he spent too much. It looks like the friggin thing weighs her whole hand down.
Also do you think it is misogynist to ask the lady’s dad for permission?
Spend what you can afford. Diamonds aren’t that special, maybe consider a stone that means more to your partner.
I refused to ask my wife’s father for permission to marry her. She is not his property and tbh even if he had said no (he wouldn’t have) I would have asked her anyway.
Yeah my brother in law asked my dad and I wasn’t sure how to feel about it. He was already obviously a green light.
