Her: "you know girls plan this stuff since they're 8 right?"

Him: "oh cool it must mean you've been saving for your wedding since you've been 8!how much is in your wedding account now?"

Her : 🤨😳😲

God damn... didn’t get far enough down to see any NTA. Basically he’s an asshole for not wanting to go broke on a wedding or ring. Crazy talk. If you do get married...huge red flag if the main concern is the cost of the ring

She's using emotional blackmail to try to get what she wants. If he gives in and they get married, I bet it won't last three years and she'll take most of his stuff and he'll be paying child support and alimony. That one conversation revealed exactly what her motives are for staying in the relationship.

Better to be an unwed asshole than a married sucka

Yup! if you get married test the bitch! Give her a ring thats only worth a few bucks.. if she loves you it doesn't matter. If she's in it for the money she will complain about it. Also get a prenup and put all your assets into a trust. Hide your bank account!. If she loves you she will sign the prenup. If she doesn't she will complain.. MGTOW!

"You know girls plan for their dream wedding there whole life, right?"

Do they plan on saving for it? In every one of those wedding dreams do ANY of those brides picture themselves going into debt or shelling out their money for an overblown party?

No! Every single woman dreams that some stupid jackass is going get stuck paying the bill. This guy's only crime is he didnt know he is the designated jackass!

Well is her daddy gonna pay for it? Oh she is from a single parent household and no father? Sorry no wedding unless you are paying for it, CASH ONLY no financing it.

Watch her head explode!!!

Here's my idea for the sort of wedding a woman has a right to expect (assuming marriage is on the table):

They go to a justice of the peace somewhere not in Vegas and the justice definitely is not in Elvis garb or a clown suit.
The justice is given the thirty or fifty bucks--whatever it costs these days.
The bride pays half.
No rings.
Fucking NO ONE bitches about it, because this is totally 100% fair, equitable, and well-reasoned.
**Addendum: All parties agree that tears are blackmail and blackmail is punishable by law (and a total asshole move to boot).

I figger that oughta do it.

Want hors d'oeuvres? Fuck you--go to the grocery store and buy some.

I was kind of shocked when I saw 6k. My sister picked out a $58 ring when her fiancé asked her to pick out an engagement ring. I knew there were rings that expensive but I didn’t think people actually chose those.

"You know girls plan this stuff since they're, like, 8, right?"

Then shouldnt she have been saving up money for this????

Traditionally the brides family paid for a wedding (in lieu of a dowry, a sum paid to the groom for becoming the provider for the bride.) The husband provided an engagement ring to sort of offset the wedding or dowry (a kind of life insurance in case the husband croaked, and the wife could hawk the ring, or in case the husband was an ass the ring paid for her misery up till she packed her bags and left) So yeah, as long as mommy and daddy were going to foot the bill, an 8 year old girl can dream as big as she wants.

Following that tradition, I don't know how it turned into the groom footing the bill for everything. That isn't fair.

I think of a wedding as one huge party. You may only host one or two parties like that in a life time. Many couples delay getting married five years, just to save up for a wedding, which seems kind of slavish. But it can be more fun to have a kick ass party when you are younger because relatives are still alive and friends aren't scattered.

I suggest to young couples to have a church ceremony (or not) then a pot luck family style picnic (no gifts, as gifts are a way to pay back for the feast). Then plan that 10 years later, when you are better off, you can afford to have the celebration of your dreams at your anniversary.

He shouldn't say her that 6k thing. Girls tend to want more than other girls get. He bites in his own (rat)tail. 😉
