Is this true? Someone please explain!

Yea ok so I know I'm going to get caned for this but...
That word traditionally... begs the question if a girl wants to be treated 'traditionally' then she should be acting 'traditionally'. If she want's to be a modern woman in all other ways then 'traditional' doesn't stack up!
Modern women are assuming all of the traditionally 'male' roles and duties so why do some males now think they should hold onto traditional values? And since when did any woman worth your respect and love put a dollar value on your commitment.... my vote... tell her to walk!

Way to go Toaster - she sounds golden, and like a true keeper. Go wifey!

With all the ups and down we have had, she sure is. Absolute stalwart that lady.

I think the OP is lucky he found out she's just a materialistic whore so early in the piece.

Easy! Pre-nup or else!

Better yet, show her a photo of one on your phone.

I think a cake mixer or vacuum cleaner would be a better engagement gift.

Roflmao! Funnily enough, the older I've gotten the less jewellery I wear - wedding, engagement and eternity rings; watch. often not even a necklace. It's not like I don't own enough jewellery, but seriously I just don't ever seem to wear it! Maybe when you're young it's super exciting and you can't get enough of it. I've known of girls to serially get engaged simply to get their mits on a nice rock. Never really understood it myself.
Although I'd have hit Balu over the head if he'd given me a microwave for our engagement. (Oh, I don't think they were around back then.....)

At least she has fairly good spelling and grammar. For a bunny boiler.

Return of a used, second-hand ring!!?? Devaluation at work there somewhere, I'm sure!

**mynameis** · 12th March 2010, 15:31

Shilly boy you should have kept her hopes high and played her

If she's too annoying use a duct tape

Tapin' and gapin'
