My New Bling - WARNING - Attention Whore Post! lol

[Werd]

PLATINUM!

Now that's love sister!


Big ups to you lady.

LOL

It is only jewelry darlin'. When we do become engaged I am sure the ring will be quite substantial but I honestly dont want it. I could care less about the bling - been there/done that. All I care about is the fact that he treats me better than even my own mother did while I was growing up. He will be another excellent male role model for my children (they already have my sis' husband who has been a surrogate dad for them since he married my sister over a decade ago) and a wonderfully supportive life partner for me AND my children will have an AMAZING life. We will live on a beautiful estate surrounded by priceless antiques and works of art which don't mean jack. My kids are to have respect for the property of others, but they will run about freely as they do now... All that will matters is my kids will see that there are truly good men and they are worthy of all that life has to offer - they need only reach for it, and theirs it will be.

I married their father when we had nothing; only our hopes and dreams and I loved him just the same faithfully for well over a decade, that is until the night my head hit the ground.

Now I struggle to take care of us because though my beau is extremely wealthy I WILL NOT TAKE HIS MONEY. It is not about money for me or about the bling - It is about trust, caring, friendship, mutual support and respect. I had a beautiful wedding band and engagement ring but as I said earlier they were lost long before the marriage was officially over, I couldn't even say exactly when they were misplaced. The diamonds and gold had lost their luster as my heart was continually wounded by how poorly I was treated by the man who gave them to me swearing to love me till the day he died. Now I could give a shit about pretty things as that was all that I was to my ex as well as many, many men thereafter. I guess I had to lose it all before I understood what was important in life.

I am NOT soured on relationships or marriage. Actually I long for the day when I will be willing to fully give myself like that again. The more time I spend with my beau and my kids and his family, the closer our families become, the closer I move to that day and it is scary, but it feels good.... nothing ventured, nothing gained I guess.

Material things are very nice to have I guess, but they don't mean jack. Money only buys freedom, that is, unless one becomes a slave to it.....

I'm going to end up deleting this entire thread. This was NOT meant to be a brag on how nice my jewelry is or how materialistic I am. I started this thread, in a joking manner, to share my happiness with some online friends. I called it 'bling' because I am thrilled with my ring and with the man who gave it to me. I am estatic about what is going on in my life, and I called it 'bling' to be funny. I am over 30 and am getting married for the first time. I have never owned a piece of jewelry like this, nor have I ever been with a man as amazing as my (now) fiance. If we got married with a twist tie I would be happy. I just want to be with him, share my life with him, to have children with him.

I love my ring, that I will readily admit. But I love what it stands for more. I love remembering what he said, how this strong, mature, amazing man got on one knee before me and asked me to spend my life with him.

I don't beleive that thinking my ring is amazing makes me more focused on material things than on my love for an amazing person.

Interesting that he did it right before I came into town. Must have known I was going to try to steal you away. Congrats couldn't happen to a nicer chica.

Darlin' your ring is JUST a ring, as will be your dress and the reception. It will be every day from the day when you REMOVE that dress after the guests have left with or without the jewelry.

No one ever said those things that you feel the need to defend and I am sorry if you felt that someone did.

How old your are, your station in life and which # marriage this will be for you is wholely irrelevant.

The fact that he got on one knee is also irrelevant as the woman usually spends the rest of her life on BOTH KNEES for her family once she says, "I do."

Again, I wish you nothing but a long and happy life together filled with all of life's blessings and the strength to weather the storm.
