Was my father right?

Last night I was telling my mother what my b/f told me he got me for Christmas (see he told me because the gift got stolen from him and he wouldn't be able to give it to me)...my father happened to overhear and he said that he didn't think that my b/f should be giving me jewlery (he got me a 24k gold ring) but that maybe he should be giving me something like a CD...we've been together just over 3 months and we really love eachother...but I just don't know what to think of what my father said...Was he right or...

Personally I do think he is right. A gift is a gift so it doesn't really matter but thats just how I feel. 24 K gold ring it expensive and personal, but if he wants to give that to you, then thats fine.

It was his choice...it's not like I asked him to get it for me or anything...I would never ask for such an expensive gift.

You guys have only been going out for three months, and even though the value isn't the most important thing a gold ring is still a pretty big deal. I think your father is right. Maybe you should talk to your boyfriend?

That's a very golden ring, right? Well... it depends on what his current income is, I think. If he had to break open twelve piggy banks to buy it, then I believe that's a rather extravagant thing to give you. But if it was just "dear" then I guess that's a pretty nice gesture. On the other hand, it is rather marital. :)

well damn 24 karat!

my bf [now ex] he was going to give me a heart pin or something and it had diamonds [i heard] and it cost like $300 or something. it was going to be for me for my bday. we were 2gether 9 months. and i'm barely 12....he he he

anyways, idk. 24 karat i think is A LOT OF MONEY TO JUST BUY IT FOR YOU i would rather say to believe ur dad. but anyways, i think at least when u guys are 5 months or something that would be better for that gift....idk....ok, this is nonsense...lolforget me!

xxleisaxx

haha it all depends where he bought it but 24k is a lot I think my watch is 14K and still worth like $1000 so I wouldn't want to know the price of the ring. here is a Q: IS HE RICH?? if he is then the gift is fine unless it is a bit too much!!! hope all these answer help:D

Bob, I was gonna say somethig along those lines..LMAO

Funny story.

well... my boyfriend was going to by me a ring. we havent been together for that long.. but would have been together for well over a year if it wasnt for certain circumstances that caused us not to be topgether (family) but its 200 and i told him hes not buying me something that expesive unless it is a puppy. lol
maybe your dad is right... get more of a boundary with him before buying something like that.

it's just a ring dang...it isn't like you are going off and having sex or your pregnett your dad actually should be happy for you.I think he is over reacting..

ummm....is he in love with you??? wow a 24k gold ring is pretty good...but i think your dad is right!!!

If you ask me, there's a 99.9999% chance that your boyfriend is lying. I mean seriously, it got stolen? Give me a break, lol.

But to the main point, perhaps since you only have been together three months it isn't such a good idea for him to give you a ring yet. You've got time right, if he really wants to give you something so expensive, have him wait until your one-year or something. If you're still together then, it will mean more that way I'm sure.

Frankly i don't think anyone was right,
i understand that your BF wants to get you somthing real special for Xmas but im not sure that a 24K ring is the best thing to buy, maybe something a little less than a ring, like a necklase or candy and flowers i dunno but a ring isn't my idea of a present that is more my idea of somthing you get later in life for marrige... * i hope you are taking no affence by this it is just my opinion*
but then again nor is your dad right,
you BF has the right to get you whatever he wants for Xmas
the thought is more of what counts than the gift itself is! remember that!

he obviously loves you!! dont listen to ur dad fukn mary the sexy boi!!

you got that right.Finally someone agrees with me.

I agree that it is the thought that counts...and I am going to let him get me what ever he wants. I hope he doesn't decide to ge me something else expensive because I'd feel bad, but I wouldn't say anything because it was his choice to get it for me...I did not ask for it (I wouldn't ask for something so expensive).

well hun,
what he gets you is really his decision...I believe that it's the though that counts and whatever he decides to get you should be his decision whether or not you father likes it or not...but he also has to respect your fathers wishes as well...but it's your bf's money and he should be able to choose whether or not to get it for you.

^^ I totally agree

I don't know if your dad was right. He is your dad, so he's just trying to protect you. but that doesn't mean he's right. Your boyfriend should be able to get you whatever he wants to for Christmas. My boyfriend got me a necklace two months after we were going out, but he didn't get me a ring til our one year. I guess, it's up to your judgement, though.

Haha, I WISH my boyfriend would buy me things!!! Hahah, we've been together a year and a half and he's gotten me flowers maybe twice. I just frickin bought him a boquet of $60 roses!! That's what he's supposed to be giving me. Anyway, your boyfriend should be able to give you whatever he wants to give you, but I do think it is a little odd for him to spend so much money on you after being with you for such a short time. Seems fishy to me

I think that it is fine. And that your dad should calm down some. But dads will be dads :)

i agree with shannon...I think he wanted to get you something nice.your dad is overrrrr reacting.

hello? it was his choice to get you what he felt you would like for Christmas. Maybe your dad just didn't think you guys were that serious. honestly , I think that that is so cute! Saying 3 months and actually dating for 3 months seems like two different lengths of time. Time can seem so infinite. I hope he gets the ring back, and i think that your dad was overreacting! Best of luck and happy holidays!!

Ciao ♥♥

In my opinion, a ring isn't just a ring when it's from someone you truly cherish. I've never accepted a ring from any guy because I want the only ring I have from the opposite sex to be my engagement & wedding ring...making it extremely special.

But that's just me.

Wait a second, are you sure he was telling the truth? that is a really expensive gift, where would he get the money to buy it? and wouldn't he be REALLY f ing upset if someone stole it..and like file a report or something

i cant really say, all i can say is be cafeful because a ring doesnt mean he will stay with you forever. trust me i know. your dad has a right to voice his opinion but its not his choice. its your boyfriends choice. good luck in your relationship
