    So I got engaged to my girlfriend today and was doing the round of calls to all the family and friends to let them know the good news. I talked to a friend of mine, who is a little strange and married to a woman that is equally strange (which pretty much sums up their whole marriage), and after hanging up he calls back about a minute later. Keep in mind that he lives in the midwest (I live in NC) and I've only met his wife two times, both very brief (neither have met my fiancee). When he called back he said that his wife had dialed the phone and handed it to him and told him he was under strict orders to find out how big the diamond was. I know it's kind of a girl thing to want to know, but to me asking someone how big the diamond is is like asking how much you paid for something or how much money you make. Anyway, I was kind of pre-occupied with calling everyone else, so after joking around for a bit and realizing that he wasn't hanging up, I told him. I figured that I really don't care if they know how big it is, it just seems kind of tacky to call specifically to ask and then hand the phone to your husband. So in the background I hear his wife YELLING "YES! YES! Mine's .4 bigger!!! HA! HA! HA!!!" And she's not joking, she's serious... Seriously, who says that?!? It's like it's a total competition, but she's never even met my fiancee (not that it should make a difference). Funny thing is, he's told me many times how big it is (I never asked, he just volunteers all kind of info), and they're the same size. She seems to be the kind of person that's into material things and how much you make, which is funny since my friend isn't exactly well to do. Basically I just need to rant because she annoys the piss out of me (she says and does **** like this constantly), but because he's my friend I'll basically keep it to myself.

    Or post it on the internet. :) But hey, neither of them come here, so who cares? It just pissed me off because it was something I didn't want to hear on what is a pretty HUGE day in my life! Anyway, sorry for the long rant! :)

    Call him back, ask for her and ask her if you can rent some space to store furniture because she is the worlds largest **** and you're sure she has room down there to spare.

    If this is a friend you want to keep (why?), meet with him and have a chat. Tell him how unfortunate he is that he's got a WAPCE (I'm sure you know what that is) for a wife. You can even say it through song. Play "puddywhipped" (SOD) or "Back off b!tch" (GNR) in the background. Maybe end on a mellow note with "I used to love her (but I had to kill her)" again by GNR.

    It's important to end with a message of hope. Divorce is always painful, but it is impossibly painful after the innocent little kids have come along. If they're still childless, he should get the heck out when he can. And it's always better to do so when he still doesn't have very much gold for the b!tch to dig - that can change in a matter of days.

    If he's truly your friend, he will be receptive to your conversation. If he lashes back at you for giving him sincere advice, you really don't need his friendship either.

    Congrats on the engagement Dragster. :):)
    Wishing you all the best there mate. ;);)

    Funny you mention this.......was just talking about it again two days ago.

    I reckon that is VERY rude for them to ask you that way over the phone. She also acted very childish IMO. :):)

    My brother is VERY similar to this guy. He constantly talks about how big the engagement ring/rock is, that he bought for his fiance 3 years ago. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    He is more excited about it, than she EVER was. The ring is 1 carrat. Hmmm........whatever. Cost him AU $9000.

    Anyways, I honestly dont like the look of it. It looks "too plain" to me. A 1 carrat rock in a gold band, yay. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
    So, I dont think I will waste my time getting something similar for my g/f when the time comes to propose. She also said she is not a real fan of it either. :):)

    Anywho.........trouble is, my brother is the type of fool that will NOT let me live it down, if I do not buy a bigger diamond for my fiance. He will ALWAYS bring it up to show off that "his is bigger than mine". Its not that I care, as I have more wealth/money than him and can afford a bigger/nice ring than he ever could. But thats not the point.

    So I am in a bind. I reckon I should just get a 1.5 carrat to shut him up, because I know he will tell everyone about it. :eek::eek:
    But on the other hand, I/we dont care. She would be happy with a basic engagement ring she told me........

    If I had Pap's way, I would get a 20 cent ring from those bubble gum machines at the local supermarkets. :p:p

    +1. Get rid of these guys. Buy a bigger diamond if that's what you need to do it.

    HAHAHA, they come to the wedding and your friends wife goes to show off her ring and say how it's bigger than the brides then you whip out one 2x the size and say " Sorry I am petty too so I got a bigger ring" that should insure you don't have to deal with them again.:D

    Talk about a moron. In this case size does not matter. It is the last of the 4 C's when grading a diamond. Call her back and asker her about her rings quality, the cut, grade of color and grade of clarity. I always laugh when idiots only determine the value of a diamond based on its size. A quarter carat weight diamond can be valued much higher than a 3 carat diamond dependent upon the quality. Laugh it off.

    Edit: By the way, congratulations on your engagement.

    Never quite understood people like that. His wife sounds like a gold digger, and the husband sounds like a ****** bag.

    When people discuss diamonds, I always remember the line from "Free Enterprise": if it doesn't come with anti-lock brakes and a driver's side airbag, it's *not* worth that much money!! ;)

    (Probably one of those women who think Chekov's "Three Sisters" is a Star Trek novel. :p)

    Thanks for all the congratulations and thanks for the replies--they made me laugh! Everyone's posts were pretty much spot-on! I don't think she has any idea how diamonds are valued. :)
