When it comes to my relationship with my significant other, I’m a realistic girl. Sure, I want the fairytale romance, but when it comes to gifts, I’m all about practicality. When my partner proposed to me, I told him I didn’t want a diamond ring. Instead, I wanted a gold bar.
Now, of course, my partner was a bit taken aback at first. It’s not every day that someone gets asked for a gold bar instead of a diamond ring. But, when I explained my reasons, I think he started to understand.
You see, I’m not a fan of diamond rings. They’re just too expensive and seem like a huge waste of money. Even if he did get me a diamond ring, I would never wear it. I’d be too worried about someone stealing it or it getting damaged in some way. So, I figured a gold bar would be a much better investment.
Also, a gold bar is much more practical. I can keep it in a safe place in my house and know that it’s safe and secure. It’s not something I have to worry about constantly. Plus, if I ever need some extra cash in the future, I can always sell the gold bar.
My partner was convinced and went out and bought a gold bar for me. It’s not as flashy as a diamond ring, but it’s something I can keep forever and I know it will be a good investment.
I think this is just one example of why it’s important to be realistic in relationships. Too often, people get caught up in the idea of romance and forget that practicality is just as important. A diamond ring might be a romantic gesture, but it doesn’t always make sense.
That’s why I think it’s important to talk to your partner about your expectations and desires. If you both agree that a diamond ring isn’t the right choice for you, then don’t do it. There are plenty of other options out there that can be just as meaningful.
I’m happy with my gold bar and I know it was the right choice for me. It’s something I can keep forever and I know it will be a good investment. Plus, it’s a reminder of how important it is to be realistic in relationships.
