No need to get fancy, and she cool with that...we both want a house, thats the priority

Think about it, a wedding band is the ring that signifies your marriage. The engagement ring is a "made up" ring. For thousands of years, even the wedding ring didn't exist. Think about all the poor people in medieval times and back did not have a wedding ring, but you were married.
Then later, some person thought, oh, if I give you a ring before the wedding, that means 'I'm totally serious about getting married'. Then later, someone thought that it would be nice to put a diamond on it. It's a man-made (or DeBeers-made) symbol of marriage. The engagement ring is not in the Bible or Koran or Torah.
Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and whatever other celebrities got a monster diamond in their engagement ring. Their marriages ended. A diamond isn't forever. But, the money you spent did go to help some South African white dude with the last name of DeBeers to live large.
You need to talk to your woman and ask her what is really important in life, marriage, etc. Because if the ring is important, more important than say affording a home or car or paying bills and not going in debt, then she might not be the one and she can look for someone else who has the cash to keep up with the Jones.

My chick put the pressure on me this weekend hard talking about some she want's and engagement and if i was serious about her she'd get it now. She said she was going to leave. She was upset that i said i'd hate to lose you but go with your gut because you aren't getting an engagement. And you damn sure ain't getting one by putting me in the corner.

If she tells you to propose leave her ass. Thats not how the fukk it works.
You gotta be patient and spend your money right. A $8000 ring isn't automatically better than a $2000 ring. Half of the price of those expensive rings is for the piece of paper that comes with it certifying the diamonds. I found a good ring for $2500 and my wife has people approaching her praising her ring with $8000 rings on their fingers. Be smart, dont just throw money at the jeweler.

Let her go breh..I've been with my girl for a LONG ass time and just proposed last month.... we had talked about getting married but she never put that pressure on me like that....
I never understood the do this or else thing.... Either the person is gonna choose the option that isn't desired (like you telling her to bounce) or they are going to choose the option you want and either hold a grudge or keep doing what they're doing on the side anyway...if you're not ready for whatever reason she can't make that decision for you..
What are your ages? Seems like as soon as they hit the early/mid 20s a switch gets flipped....
Not if he's doing everything else right and she is still trying to give him an ultimatum....
On the topic, that's bad business but if dude paid for it outta pocket and has everything else in order, let that man cook..... I'd never finance that though... I paid cash for the ring and wedding bands.....
On a side note, you can tell if you really love her when you see the cashier count ALL that cash on the counter when you're buying the ring.....I did the
faint and woke up like
