A major issue guys face in relationships that is multiplied because of social media.
I bought my fiancé a promise ring the day after I proposed. I was fairly broke and she picked out a little diamond ring and was content.
As my financial situation improved, she was out looking for items to flip in a pawn shop and "stumbled upon" an unworn engagement ring that some poor bloke had presented and been turned down. She told me about it, so I visited the shop and purchased it. She's not the materialistic type, but the light in her eyes when I got down on one knee to present it to her was worth ever bit of the $2k price tag. A small price to pay for that look.
Then she helped me get back on my feet.
