Some readers wrote in to comment about Sandra's article and I'm glad they did.
Sharini sympathises with the man with average earnings. A kindred spirit! Indeed, a woman who truly understands her lover will not be unhappy with the size of the gem. If the ring is just meant for her to show off, then it somehow undermines the fact that she does cherish this symbol of commitment. She should be keeping it close to her heart(not in a literal sense) since it is between she and her lover.
Siew Lynn has similar views about how a ring doesn't guarantee a lasting relationship. "It will take more than a big diamond ring to keep it all together." She makes us think about the man's point of view, a good strategy to jolt the selfish women awake. If the man is as particular about the material possession he gets from his partner, how would she feel?
A man finally wrote in to lambaste such materialistic women. Kudos to him! Frederick expresses his unhappiness over women who ask their men to "blow their money" on a diamond ring. The money men earn is also meant for themselves, not to be wholly spent on their lovers! It is true that we should give others a positive impression about ourselves through our deeds and even character, instead of through our possessions. We can't bring the latter with us to our graves, can we?
