I absolutely loathe it, the whole diamond ad campaign, and how many women have come to expect it as natural that men spend stupidly large sums of money on shiny rocks. I like nice stones, like turquoise, or lapis lazuli, but a diamond? I don't understand why it's not as good as a similar looking, less expensive stone like cubic zirconia.
And there is no way in hell that I'll spend a large amount of money(like the aforementioned 2 months' salary) instead of putting food on the table and buying stuff that we can use. I don't understand that romance always has to be irresponsible spending these days, there are much better ways to be a good husband.
