OK so as a recap...BF wants a T&CO ring...at first I was against this (we really dont need to spend the $$$) However, he won't have it any other way. I try them on while out of town-per his request and fell in love with the classic T&CO ring. BUT not to the tune of ....well...a lot more than we could ever afford. The gentleman at T&CO explained how we can play with the price by size, color and clarity...So, we might be able to make it work. FINE.
Now, up until yesterday, I figured he was just not into details. I tell him about weddings here and stuff and he usually replies, "Hmm" So, I've kind of stopped mentioning stuff, but continue planning...
Well, last night as I was walking on the door to go to class (figures) he mentions that T&CO has new rings out. Oh...Um ok...before I know it he is pulling up the website to show me. I don't like the new ring-he was happy about that b/c neither did he. So, he shows me that T&CO has a matching mens band that matches with the womens classic T&CO band...plain band very blah...not a big fan He wants those rings b/c they match.
I don't like the womens band. I really want a channel set band. He wants them to match. GRR. He's goes as far as to even bring it up this morning.
So I tell him that I really don't like the band. He doesn't want something that doesn't match...His argument is that the rings are supposed to be a couple-get it. My response is that I don't like the plain band. I've always wanted a channel set. His reply is that a channel set for him from T&CO is $8,000 My reply is that he can have what ever he wants, but I want a channel set. Then I throw in for good measure that his sister and BIL don't have a matching set and that BIL has what he wants and his sister has what she wants. He's not budging.
Girls. I don't like the plain band. I tried them both on and the channel set is exquisite. I'm in love with it...AND I don't want to "upgrade" my set. I want what I am going to have from the get go...He wants to match and isn't going to budge....
What do I do? I told him we would go look at rings and then he would see. I got the same debate-he wants them to match.
I feel ungrateful. After all, a T&CO ring and a Disney wedding...Any insight.
TIA
