ok, Ill bite :LOL
If a man is THAT attached to his bank account and NOT willing to part with his money for something like an engagement ring for the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with, then it is probably indicative of a deeper problem or issue in the relationship or a problem within himself.
Frankly, Ive never heard of a man getting THAT torn up or upset about buying a ring. Its supposed to be a happy and touching moment. If I was a man, Id LOVE and be excited about picking out and buying a ring for my soon-to-be wife. Isnt that how it's supposed to be?
Especially if he has the money.
