I agree that $5,000 is a lot of money but I am surrounded by women whose rings have costed that if not more. I have always anticipated having a nice diamond ring. To me it means something, not more than having a loving partner but it is something I want. You know better if your boyfriend is cheap or simply unable to afford it. If he's constantly buying himself things or squandering money on things beside you then you may have a valid point for throwing him out. If your boyfriend is not a go-getter and settles for the simpler things in life and you strive for more, then keep with your decision. What does his saying "$5,000 is a lot of money" signify to you? (Fear of commitment, laziness, not goal-oriented, uncaring or simply unable to afford at the moment) Find out and talk about it!
