Here's this week's most outrageous relationship red flag story from the editors of The Little Black Blog of Big Red Flags. The Story: My girlfriend and I'd been dating for about six months when she presented me with a Cartier catalog in which she'd circled various $40,000 engagement rings. She told me that these were the ones she'd be willing to accept when I proposed. We hadn't discussed marriage, in that we hadn't talked about getting married to each other, so this gesture came out of nowhere. When I remarked that I could go downtown and get her a nice ring for about 1/4 of the price (in theory), she replied that such a ring would not work. She wanted Cartier and she "deserved" to get what she wanted.

Tell her this, "that's cool, if you want me to get you a $40,000 engagement ring, then I want a $40,000 2010 Shelby Mustang, it's only fair, right?" I get you something nice, in return, you get me something nice. Then we get married and live happily ever after. Whatever she agrees to spend on you, spend on her. If she says she's not getting you anything, highway her ass.

I agree with Alex....but I've experienced it the other way with my last relationship...I spent way more on him than him on me. Is that okay? Most women would say "no" that I was stupid. Most men would probably say that it's fine & was my choice. It goes both ways. Men really resent that women expect them to spend money on them to show that they are "worth it." Women think that when a man spends a lot, it means they're special and adored. Men want hot women...women will settle for "not-hot" as long as he has dough! When men stop using their wealth to buy the love of young, hot wives-women will stop associating money with love too.

Run, don't walk, away.
This says a lot about her lack of good judgment, mercenary outlook, and general cluelessness about quid pro quo in what is supposed to be a partnership for life. Partnerships are supposed to share risks, not insure one partner against the other.
When people are losing jobs, losing their homes, and she wants to spend as much as would keep a family of four for a year, just to parade about on her finger...if we're going to socially ostracize Wall Street CEO's for excessive pay, we ought to start doing the same to everyone else for outrageously conspicuous consumption.
