Today, my boyfriend of five years got me a ring for Christmas. When I opened it, I was speechless and overjoyed. He then said, "It's just a ring. It doesn't mean anything." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, from my girlfriend of five years, I got my clothes back, my engagment ring and a card that says, "Merry Christmas! It's me not you." FML
Today, my boyfriend of five years finally gave me a ring. Oh no, not an engagement ring. He gave me a ring "to apologize for sleeping with his married coworker." FML
Today, my very cheap boyfriend of four years proposed. I was overwhelmed with emotion, since he bought such a huge, seemingly-diamond ring. I was later overwhelmed with emotion when my finger turned green. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me by tossing the ring at me and saying "Here, wear this." FML

Today, my boyfriend gave me the most beautiful diamond ring I have ever seen. As I excitedly put it on my finger, he told me it wasn't an engagement ring, but I should wear it like one to keep other men away and seem "unapproachable". FML

The words every girl wants to hear after being given a ring. *sigh* So romantic.

Leave him. You obviously don't have a future with him now.

Time to find a new boyfriend, OP.

5 years + special occasion + ring = proposal seems like a reasonable conclusion. Sorry it didn't happen this time OP, hope your ring is beautiful and your Christmas happy anyway. At least now he knows you're on board if he's considering it! :)

Curious as to what this ring was. Not all rings scream engagement.

I got a ring too and didn't assume it was - or even considered that it might be - a proposal. It's not exactly rocket science: unless her boyfriend pops the question, it's not an engagement ring. He shouldn't have to be so blunt about it for her to understand that. FHL

5 years? Figure it out. He is just not that into you.

If you're ready, you know.... You could get him a ring, get on one knee, and propose to him. Or if you really want to be proposed TO, ask him why the ring "didn't mean anything", you'll get a better view of the situation :)

It's been 5 years maybe you two should have a talk about future commitment. Depending on your age of course. If it's been 5 years and you're only 20 now then you're still young don't rush.

I'm sure he meant to clarify that it wasn't an engagement ring it was just a ring. My boyfriend (also 5 yrs) gave me a ring for Christmas too and made sure I understood that it is just a ring nothing more
