I personally want a nice ring and we've talked about when the time comes to picking out and getting a ring if the one I want costs more than he can afford I will chip in. I wouldn't want him to financially suffer I'd say yes to anything he got me but there's nothing wrong with pitching in and getting exactly what I want.

I don't understand the "perhaps she should help pay for the ring". Every woman that gets married to the man that bought the ring will help pay for the ring unless they plan on keeping all money separate. If he spends $50k or whatever the number, once they get married and everything gets combined, the missing $50k, or payments or whatever is now both of their problem. If the number is a drop in the bucket to what he has it may not matter but for most an expensive ring is just a delay in buying other things (house, school loans, car, kids college) or a reduction in
their ability to use the money for other things.
If she had a large amount of money and I had very little I would be happy to buy the expensive ring. Once we combine our money the problem will be gone. Whether she likes it or not she will have paid for the ring.
