Dear Susie,
I am about to become engaged to a wonderful woman. We are both previously married and now divorced. She wants an engagement ring with a diamond bigger than the one I gave my first wife. However, once we get married, we are going to want to buy a house and furnish it and I am afraid that money is going to be tight. I was trying to be practical so I suggested that we use the diamond that her first husband gave her (which is huge) and just have it re-set. Now she is furious with me. Do you think I'm being too cheap.

Dear Just Being Practical,
- Or just being stupid and insensitive would be more accurate! What the hell is the matter with you? Use the ex husbands diamond? Are you crazy? I've never heard of such an insulting thing in my whole life. Even Jeff would be smarter than that. She's right to want a diamond bigger than the one you gave your ex to prove your love and devotion to her. How else will she know that you love her more than the ex? If you had a brain in your head then you would have suggested selling her ex's diamond to pay for your new house. Of course she should say no to that as well because I'm sure she earned that one fair and square but at least you would have looked like less of an insensitive lout. I don't care if you have to beg, borrow or steal but the only way for you to keep your relationship in tact is to now go out and get her an even bigger diamond than she wanted in the first place. You put your foot in your big mouth, now put your hand in your thin wallet. If you don't, she has every right to call off the engagement. As a matter of fact, I would encourage it.

Dear Susie,
My boyfriend wants to move in with me but he hates my 2 dogs. He'll walk the Rotweiler but never the poodle as he says he is too embarrassed to be seen with her. Should I kick him out? I don't want him to traumatize my poodle. What should I do?

Dear Dogger,,
Get rid of the guy. I have a theory that you can tell what a man is like in bed by what kind of dog he likes. For example, if he likes terriers then chances are he's a premature ejaculator. If he likes Labs, then he's good for a make out but has follow through problems. These are facts. I've done the research. Most men with Rotweiler's are closet cases and overcompensating. The fact that he doesn't like your Poodle is a very bad sign indeed. If you can find a hetero guy with a Yorkie or a Shih Tzu or a Pomeranian then that guy is a keeper. If he's secure enough in his sexuality to be seen with a froo froo little dog like that, then there's a man who is good in the sack!
