Usually there's early warning signs. Like my wife and I spent $500 on our wedding and less than that on the engagement ring. It allowed us to spend big $$$ on our future house and vacations.

My friend had the opposite issue where his ex-gf wanted some very extravagant rings/weddings so he broke it off.

The only way I'd spend big on a wedding or ring is if someone were gifting those things to me. Ain't no way in hell I'd pay thousands out of my own pocket for something that could be better spent building our lives together.

Yeah same. I do not want something so expensive it would hurt if it got lost or broke in my finger. Let’s improve our lives together so we can spend more free time together instead.
