(Which we all found pretty hilarious, because the ring my mom wears is glass or CZ)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-friend-thats-in-ring-competition-1#post-3223633 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:16:50 +0000 pinkshoes 3223633@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>so.... why exactly do you consider this person a friend?</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-friend-thats-in-ring-competition-1#post-3223620 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:14:43 +0000 texasgirl29 3223620@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <br /> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-friend-thats-in-ring-competition-1#post-3223619 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:14:41 +0000 texasgirl29 3223619@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <br /> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-friend-thats-in-ring-competition-1#post-3223615 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:14:14 +0000 texasgirl29 3223615@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p><a href="#post-3223583">@MrsB99:</a>&nbsp; How annoying. I'm so not looking forward to being in a lifelong competition with this girl..I've really distanced myself from her in the past few months. It's so childish to base a life altering desision like having a baby on what someone else is doing.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-friend-thats-in-ring-competition-1#post-3223588 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:10:44 +0000 MrsB99 3223588@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>It unfortunately goes well beyond the ring too. &nbsp; She's pressuring her husband to start having a baby because she told us to our face that she is going to be p***ed if we get preggo before her since she's been married longer. &nbsp; &nbsp;We are both a lot older than her and her husband. &nbsp; &nbsp;It's so frustrating to have friends like this!!! &nbsp; &nbsp; None of this competition thing started until the time my hubby and I got engaged.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-friend-thats-in-ring-competition-1#post-3223584 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:09:59 +0000 jpalm13 3223584@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I have this friend. I have this friend so much- I actually asked my SO (her FBIL) to make buy me a center stone with the same qualities as hers. Silly? Yes. Reasoning why- she is always comparing and contrasting whatever she has with whatever I have. And I am always the 'loser' in her eyes. I know its dumb but I would be hurt very much if she was always talking down about how she has better clarity blahblahblah at EVERY moment possible. I feel your pain girl!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-friend-thats-in-ring-competition-1#post-3223583 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:09:53 +0000 MrsB99 3223583@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <br /> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-friend-thats-in-ring-competition-1#post-3223571 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:04:45 +0000 texasgirl29 3223571@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>That's too bad that your friend feels like she's in competition with you. I have a friend who tries to make me feel bad because I have a smaller ring. I have a ring of decent clarity, good color, etc and it's a half carat. My friend has a one carat (it's VERY cloudy, visibly included etc) and she brags about the size of her diamond. I'm educated about diamonds thanks to the bee and know that I prefer a smaller rock of better quality than a larger cloudy stone. I just smile and say wow your ring really is big, what a lucky girl...no need to stoop to her level of try to justify why I chose a smaller stone</p> <p>P.S. She's in competition about ALL aspects of our weddings not just the ring...ugh!&nbsp;</p>
