Thread: Proof that Satan lives.........

Geez.. sounds like you made a mistake. Do you even WANT to get married?

Congrats!

Just think you get to hold that $6k ring over her head everyday!

Well of course until your married

Then nothing matters that you say

I do, but I the whole concept of jewelry is beyond my comprehension. It doesn't really do anything, why should it cost so much? I understand diamonds are rare, but they're still just shiny rocks, right?

I love the girl, so its all worth it, but damn that's a decent chunk of change for me (and I think most people).

Thanks man!

It is kind of nice to have that over her.
But, to return the favor, she promised me a lerge-screen tv of equal value (in a couple of years ).

I hope you dont mind me asking, but why did the ring have to be so expensive? It does seem like a waste of money to me, I would rather use the money to go on some great vacations, but that's ME.

YES it is a very big chunk of change, absolutely. Did your gf ASK for this ring specifically? In any case, as long as you are happy that you are getting married, then that is all that matters. Congrats!

AND dont think of it as something to hold over her head, this is the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with, not your boss at work.

Why did it have to be so expensive? I'm not sure. We just kind of settled on 6 thousand. It's not that I mind spending this much (well a little), its that I don't understand the whole concept of jewelry. I don't think a shiny rock should cost anything. Oh well, at least she's on cloud nine.

Leverage is a must! Women are too tricky, you always gotta have an ace up your sleeve when dealing with them.

The diamond trade is a bunch of bullshyt. I agree, give me simplistic rings, I dont think a huge rock on it should mean a damned thing.

I want a plain ass, non gold band, I dont wear any jewelry myself.

Then again I like fast cars and other meaningless BS too.

we just kinda bought each other the cheapest rings out there. they were gold and all but cost like 100 bucks a peice at the time.

I agree. We also got our wedding bands yesterday. I picked out a simple, white gold ( still don't see why they don't just call it silver ) one w/no crap on it. She got the same. (She wanted something fancy, but it was more important for her to have it match mine and I had had enough of anything with "stones".)

Hey, at least cars serve some purpose.

That makes a lot more sense to me. Wish I had that option, but I am no longer the master of my own destiny.

If I get married I want a wedding band of stainless steel that shoots out a laser for cutting stuff.

Oh and her wedding ring will have a crystal that amplifies the intensity of my laser for blasting any alien invaders!

Oh not true!!! Your wedding band is a lip repellant. Think of all the times your girl gave you those pitiful eyes and stuck out her lower lip and said, "pleeeeeeeeeese". After you get married all you'll have to do is hold out your left hand and say, "NO! I'm immune to that lip."

Really, that works? You're not just kidding around, right? You're talking to a desperate man here. She makes me cave-in on almost every issue. Whenever I try to put my foot down, out comes that lip......and then what can you do? Maybe you're right, it's bound to get better after we're married..............

But at least there's love, that's much better then sex.

hahaha thats what my wife says, get used to your hand .........

Max I think somebody is secretly very pleased that he made his fiance so happy.

the only ring worth having is ring-around-the-collar.

I am pleased.
Just confused.

Another ALBOB axiom that I'll employ as my own....
You Go BOY!

Hell yes it works....................if you do your part. You have to understand, you're dealing with women. They're cunning beasts so stand firm, hold your left arm out straight and in an authoritative tone JUST SAY NO! (On a side note: This becomes much more difficult when they start to threaten to withhold sex. Understand, they're going to cut you off anyway so don't give in. Now, it's when they start to bribe you WITH sex that you're on your own. That's the point where I usually cave in. )

Glad I could help.

All right, I'll stand firm.
But if that doesn't work I may have to resort to.............to.............oh god!.............to romance. I feel dirty just saying it. But that's in an emergency only!

Besides, won't she be contractually obligated to provide certain "services"?
Can you sue them for lack of sex?

Yeah right......

I can see your lawyer's opening remark
"Your honor, my client has endured undue hardships as a result
of extensive circumstances attribited to ..."

That's a bit of a touchy subject and probably a can of worms you don't want to open. You see, yes, she will be contractually obligated to provide those services..........................but so will you. While she'll be obligated to keep you sexually satisfied you'll be obligated to keep her emotionally satisfied. Just remember, if you start enforcing her obligations she'll probably start enforcing yours. Again, it's a trade off, you just have to decide what you're willing to give up and what you want in return.

Sueing for lack of sex is a hit or miss proposition. You hit with a male judge, you miss with a female judge.

Emotions.....

You're right though. We'll just have come to some sort of healthy balance. If not, it's back to R.A.'s words of wisdom:

"Dear ALBOB......"
Maybe Prince will let you charge a consultation fee.

Hey ALBOB you are forgetting that you guys need that emotional satisfaction too... and we women need that sexual satisfaction... so all in all it an equal trade if it's a good marriage. No one can say it enough - lots of comunication of feelings and no secrets are the best way to keep it flowing smooth.

I went on a couples retreat by myself... ha ha - I didn't know at the time that it was a "couples" retreat. My friends from Church were going and they asked if I would like to go, so I did... I learned a lot. It's called keep fanning the flame...
