[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 108101, member: 2211"] Janet, being a woman, and a wife, I may seem a little biased, but I agree with you 100%. Anniversaries, in my opinion and in my experience, are much more about the woman than they are about the man. I know that sounds skewed, but 'typically' men couldn't care less about celebrating the anniversary with little more than some romance in the bedroom and perhaps their favorite meal and a pie. Women, on the other hand, do tend to lean towards something a little more special such as a nice peice of jewelry, a dinner out, perhaps tickets to a show, etc. **Remember, I said TYPICALLY - that doesn't mean always. There are the exceptions of course. When H and I got married, we picked up some under $100 gold bands for one another. We had an at home wedding in my sisters lovely gardens and we just needed "a" ring. One Christmas a few years later he bought me a diamond band, which I absolutely love. Even when I'm mad at him and don't want to wear my wedding band, I wear it because I love it so! If I don't wear it, I will carry it with me. Haha - I know that sounds weird. Anyway, Since then, I have always wanted an engagement ring to match the band. It does not have to be an elaborate huge diamond, but I'd like it to at least match the diamonds in the band. It would not be that expensive - I've priced them out. Well, guess what? H says I am being materialistic and wants to know when I got like that? I have even considered getting myself a ring! I don't think you should do that Janet! But maybe you could shop around for what you like and cut out or print out the ads showing the ring and it's qualities and cost? After all, your ring, unlike his boat, won't cost in the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, will it? I think he's being unreasonable. Totally. I hope you get your ring.
