Rings

[Housingcraze]

Been together a year.

DP wants to take me to buy a promise/ relationship ring.

AIBU to say no?
I never knew what one was - wants me to wear it on wedding finger!

What Aquamarine said: She is obviously a woman after my own heart. Is he a teenager FGS?

He wants ownership without commitment.

He'll just string you along and never propose if he thinks he can get away with this nonsense op.

Aquamarine1029 on point... needs to grow a pair do it or dont do it

I agree about ownerahip without commitment. He is sending a message to other people but not commiting to you. How long have tou been together?

He’s being ridiculous.

Just say no.

How long have you been together?

Would you want to get married and have you talked about it?

Ugh. If you want a ring fab. He buys you a ring. You don't have to wear it everyday or at all, it's like any other piece of jewellery. You choose what you where when you want.

If he wants you to wear a ring on your wedding ring finger, just say "no, that's for my engagement or wedding ring when I decide to accept a marriage proposal"!!!
Is he proposing? And you accepting?.... No? Then he can feck off!!!

Blimey, he doesn't get this much say over your body & where you wear jewellery gifts!

*wear not where!! Lol

Human equivalent of peeing up you to mark his territory ...

It’s American thing!

Not among adults, it isn't. A high school kid might give his girlfriend a promise ring because they're too young to get engaged, but it's not a thing adults do.

This is what I said him if he wanted to buy a ring he should of done it-
And chosen it personally. Which I would of accepted and worn it when I pleased! And kept it surprise!

Though doesn’t know my size!

What @OffToBedhampton says

Honestly how do you get to your thirties and even remotely think this is okay?! And I mean that mostly from his perspective.

He’s 37?!

This just reminds me of a girl I went to school with whose boyfriend bought her a ring when we were about 15, she went around telling everyone she was ‘engaged to be engaged’. I don’t think they even lasted 6 months.

Yanbu. As others have said it's childish and screams of wanting to claim you and make it look like you're taken, without actually committing to you.

If he wants to get you a ring fine, but say you're keeping your ring finger for the real thing.

So he doesnt want to get engaged or married.

But he wants other people to visibly see you're taken....
