I'm divorced, and for about the past year I have been dating a wonderful man. He is great but he is EXTREMELY frugal, although he does really well financially. I don't mind good money management. However, my best friend is spoiled rotten by her husband (yes, they can afford it) -- diamonds, a new really expensive car, a brand-new finished basement etc. I love my boyfriend a lot but it would be nice if I could find someone who would spoil me at least a little bit (within reason of course). Now that we are talking about getting married he is complaining about how much the engagement ring will cost! Should I adjust my boyfriend, adjust my friendships or adjust my attitude?

Maybe you should talk to him about it.

It seems like this really bothers you. And depending on HOW frugal he is, that's completely reasonable.

The two of you need to communicate about this or I fear you are just getting ready to set yourself up for divorce number 2.

i'd adjust the boyfriend. if he's complaining about an engagement ring, imagine what it's going to be like living with such a cheap @sshole.
