I really want to know what the job was

That’s cool. I really love that

Priorities.

This needs to be popularized so people will stop spending on rings!!

I need a source or it is meaningless to me. I don't believe just random tweets by people. I suspect that will be the case for most of these.

Important to remember that correlation does not equal causation. It’s likely that higher-wealth people have a higher likelihood of divorce due to a number of factors that have nothing to do with the engagement ring itself.

I'd rather an expensive ring than an expensive wedding or wedding dress, the ring at least you'll wear and treasure for the rest of your life??

Purchase vintage rings instead! At local small stores, or antique stores.

De Beers doesn't care either way.

We had no engagement rings, only wedding bands. Does this mean we likely never get divorced?

Ours was $200 and we've been married 18 years

That's why I gave my wife a blade of grass.

This is almost certainly a case where correlation is not causation.

More expensive = partner is high maintenance = divorce

Because if it's about love, you wouldn't care if it's a cracker jack ring provided they gave their heart with it. When it's a monetary value of the ring that matters to you then you have no love.

It makes sense to me- paying special attention to convenances, trying to show off in front of your future wife and other people, reassurribg your status with money and generally making a show out if engagement are in my opinion not the best indicators if true engagement and caring about the other person. Same if it’s the future bride who demands an expensive ring

It’s just generally odd that people need a ring (and contract) to prove/evidence an emotion. If you love someone and want to be with them there is absolutely no need for either of those things, in fact the opposite.

Awesome, because my ring is plain and not expensive AT ALL!!! But I LOVE IT!!!

Right? My sister & her ex spent over $40k on their wedding and honeymoon (the ring was an additional $12k and she cheated on him ON THEIR HONEYMOON). She got so caught up in the planning of the wedding, she forgot to think about the MARRIAGE. That money would have been much better spent on premarital counseling/therapy. They were separated within 3 years, but are still legally married 20 years later.

Engagement rings and proposals both need to be retired.

The only diamond I want has to be an uncut octahedron.

I spent 35 dollars on my engagement ring and we still got divorced, 10 yrs later and 3 kids I'll add.. I'm calling bunk on this one

We only spent 1800 bucks, still divorced :(

I wish I had a bigger one - we could have got more money when we had to p**n it to eat!

We didn’t have any engagement rings? Means 0? We spent quite a bit on our wedding rings though.

Could someone explain to me?

Yeah, because you're more likely to be able to afford a divorce

And need a prenuptial.

I look forward to the day when either engagement rings are a thing of the past OR both partners get them OR the men get them. It's rather tedious that men mark their territory before marriage in this way.

So, are humans the most advanced creature on earth?

Definition of imposter syndrome: "Imposter syndrome is loosely defined as doubting your abilities and feeling like a fraud. It disproportionately affects high-achieving people, who find it difficult to accept their accomplishments. Many question whether they're deserving of accolades."

Nice job!

I don’t know why but I find this hilarious

Where do I sign?

Aka "don't wanna meet in a dark alley"

So...one horse actually produces 15 humanpower.

Yes to all of that. Where is my chocolate?

You just know the cat will steal it at the first opportunity

I wonder if anyone suggested "the iSuck"?

Luckily if they even taller it would be very uncomfortable for them

there obviously preparing for the international peanut butter famine of 2024

I don't know if it's true but I've heard ginger cats are mostly male.
