Financially Strapped! Fiance Is Broke'n Hearted Over Engagement

Dear Harlan,

I've been with my girlfriend off and on for about five years. Last summer, I took the leap and bought her "the ring". Now I'm not sure if I'm in this relationship for the right reasons. I seem to be in this relationship mainly because I have more than $ 5,000 invested in us. I don't know if I'm truly still in love with this girl. Should I stick it out and hope it gets better？ What do I do？

Dear Cashless in College,

If you can't separate the price tag from the fiancee, your engagement is worthless. A ring is a symbol of love and commitment, not debt and burden. She deserves more — not more carats, more honesty. Take a break if you're this confused. Save her the time and trauma of a future divorce. Why you haven't talked to her about this situation is a whole other problem.

Sadly, engagements get broken. Even sadder, marriages get broken. And a broken marriage is far more expensive — financially and emotionally.
