Do Girls want a huge engagement ring...

[PitOnTheProwl]

Okay, I have read all of the responses and my wife is sitting here chomping at the bit to answer this one. So.................Honey....................(I hope she doesnt get me banned)

Ok my husband and I have been together since we were 13 y.o.; we're 35 now. We are the proud parents of a gorgeous 15 y.o. son, 3 dogs and 13 snakes (and still counting...hubby just doesn't know it yetlol). My husband is the love of my life and is the best husband, father and man around. He sacrificed so much to see that our son and I were provided for and put off many hobbies, sold favorite vehicles and begged and borrowed to see that I accomplished my dream of becoming a certified chef. I was in school for 3 years and although I worked also it didn't come close to helping provide for bills, food and diapers. He put in many hours of overtime so I wouldn't have to kill myself with school, work and parenting. I would give anything to be in a position where I could be the sole bread winner and allow him the freedom to be the "housewife" for awhile and see where his snake hobby goes.

Ok I said all that to say this....all of this has taken place and I have NEVER received an engagement ring. I think they are nothing more than status symbols and I don't need some hunk of rock to see he loves me. He shows me daily with his short "good morning honey" texts and cooking dinner when he knows I've worked 90 hours that week. Relationships should not be based on how big the ring is or how much your wedding costs (mine was in my living room with our son and his grandparents...cost $45.....food afterwards...$25....the satisfaction of having the world's most awesomest husband ever....priceless)

For my birthday I got a beautiful ball I fell in love with at a pet store, for xmas 2 years ago I got my cow spotted pitty that I've longed for for many years, for mother's day last year I got him and our son cleaning the entire house and made me dinner. Everyday I get to wake up to a beautiful man who will do whatever it takes to get me anything I simply mentioned one day. I don't care about diamonds, gold, roses or going out. Give me a nice night at home with my beautiful hubby and our son, dogs and snakes and I could die a happy woman.

I know we aren't all like this and sorry guys, pitontheprowl has no sisters LOL, but if you look hard enough you too could find your perfect woman who actually has a heart and cares only for you not what you can gift her with. The next gift you should give her is a suitcase so you can send her packing.
