New rifle - Redux

edited September 2009 in General Discussion
When I told my fiance that I was going to spend my $1500 tax refund on a new rifle, she got upset and said I should take the money and put it together with her current engagement ring and get a bigger diamond. I really love her and want to be married to her someday. What should I do?????

    Tell her NOW that you run the finances and will someday when you get married. If she gets upset dump her, but first ask for the ring back.

    Get the rifle, they increase in value unlike wives and girlfriends.[:0][:D]

    Wasn't there a post about getting married to your gun.

    Dearly beloved we are here to join this man and his gun in forever bliss.

    Do you ..... take this gun to be your own to have and to hold to keep clean and never let rust to keep loaded never forsaking to not have ammo on hand for or to not take out and shoot at least 1 a month. for as long as you both shall live.

    And do you gun take this man to be yours never not firing to give him long life and to never fail him in time of need.

    Do you have custom grips to give to the gun.

    repeat after me with this grips I thee wed.

    I now pronouce you married you may shoot the gun.

    And no ring think about it.

    Trust me, this'll work: tell her the gun's an "investment" on a bigger diamond... and then ask to borrow a pair of her panty hose and a getaway car.

    If that don't impress her, nothing will.

    zip: there was your first mistake[xx(] telling her how much you were getting back from the IRS.

    Your next was telling her you were going to buy a gun.[B)]

    The only way I see you getting out of this mess is whatever you buy with it, you better buy her something too.[8D]

    Of course it dosent have to coast as much as your gun did.[:D]

    Take the money, put it together with the present engagement ring, use it to buy a better gun. Next, find another woman, unless you want to spend the rest of your life in similar situations..

    Ask to see the current ring, then take it to the Pawn shop, get some cash, put it with the IRS monies, go get something that you can really enjoy for a long time, the gun.[:)]

    It must be right, or we wouldn't do it this way!

    Sounds like the old question. "Doses this make me look fat?"

    No right answer here. But I have to ask about any women who askes for pretty things. This is not like something more pracrical like a new couch, stove, car, bed etc.

    Let me get this straight. You're not presently married. She wants to tell you what to do with your money.

    Hmm...what's wrong with this picture?

    Get your priorities straight and set the footprint for the future Now and Fast!

    Thanks everybody. I spent $4500 on the ring she has now. I was already wandering if she was just interested in my money, anyways. We been together for 2 years, but she won't sleep with me until our wedding night.

    I think I'll try to get the old ring back and find myself a new woman.

    Any woman that cares a bit about the size of the rock is a digger. A $750 "chip" has been fine for 26 yrs. here....I'm sorry, but she sounds shallow....YOU should be the prize, not a ring!!!!!

    I traded a nice rifle for Mrs. Blue's small rock - but she wore a gold band for 19 years before she got a diamond... She must love me a little[:D]
    If yours is not satisfied with a $4500.00 rock and wants to complain - TAKE BACK THE RING - buy the original rifle, and a simple band of gold. Tell her if she complains again she can hit the road!! My guess is - she will hit the road soon as you take back the ring she has[V]

    It sounds like a loose-loose scenario.. but you can probably turn it around.

    Here's a thought..
    Have the diamond refurbished and inserted in a new ring of her choice.
    A lot of people do that here, when the old ring is scratched, looses it's shine and such.

    It's also a way to keep up - and it's not too expencive - would leave you with enough for a gun too.

    I sold my two AK's, fifteen mags, and accesories to get my 'ex an engagement ring.

    Biggest mistake I ever made.

    If she leaves you because you bought a rifle, it just wasn't meant to be.

    My second wife I told her after I proposed that 'if she cheated on me I would kill her and if she couldn't marry me under those conditions then I fully understand'. She said yes and I've lived the happiest last 3 years of my life. If she would of said no, then it wasn't meant to be.

    If she wants a bigger engagement ring you should pretty much see where her mind is, wasting your money. If she wants you to buy her a bigger ring to get married....tell her ok but next year you are getting that rifle.

    Zzzzzzzz - you ALREADY bought her a ring. If she doesn't like it, tell her to get lost. If it's not good enough now, it never will be. Trust me. I was very serious with one just like that about 6 years back. I had just been accepted to Graduate School for my MBA. I was doing this part-time, in the evenings after my full-time job, and paying for it myself (60 credits at $1000 a credit before books, registration, etc. - do the math). Anyway, I was spending more than I had at the time to "maintain" this one, and when I told her that I had just been accepted to one of the top-rated finance MBA programs in the country, do you know what her response was? Well, I'll tell ya . . it was, "Gee, that sounds really expensive." I replied with, "Yeah, I'm going to have to cut back a little bit." To which she pointed to herself and countered with, "If your going to cut back, don't start here." Well, I did cut back. I didn't spend another dime on her. And you know how much longer we lasted after having been together for over a year? 2 months.

    Today I (a few dicey relationships later) am dating a wonderful lady - and I am really considering building a future with her. All I can say, is thank God I got rid of the other one.
