Hi Ruth,

Good to hear from you.

    I didn't mean that the partner shouldn't take into account the likes
    and preferences of their intended. One would hope that, by the time
    someone decided to propose and enter into an engagement, they would
    have learned enough about the person they were committing to to know
    what they like or dislike... If this empathy isn't there one would
    have to wonder about the chances of the relationship lasting.. :-\ 

    What I was intending to suggest was that the ring should not just be
    something the partner has been sent out to buy but should
    incorporate something of their own style - i.e. it should be a part
    of the partner's personality that you wear close to yourself and
    should constantly remind you of them - not just the shopping
    catalogue you saw it in.. (don't take that the wrong way!!) 

    Good luck with your recovery. I hope you are both keeping well. 

Best wishes,
Ian
