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

You're obviously wanting to get married. If you've been with a guy for 5 years, he knows this. Don't waste time on a man who won't commit to you, OP. And don't fall for the moving in together offer (if you aren't already). Most women see moving in together as a precursor to marriage, whereas most men see it as a way to appease the woman to postpone marriage. You want to get married, find a guy who sees your value and diesel hesitate to commit, over one too happy to take all the privileges of marriage without any of the responsibilities.

Why does it always have to be about romance? He was doing his bf duty. Now do your gf duty lay on your back and shut up.

i just wonder why he would decide to get a ring when he should realize that a ring kinda sends a certain kind of message. especially if you've been together that long. how could you not assume at least slightly that it meant something?

Not saying he's not being a dick, but it's possible your 'stunned speechless' face is similar to your 'oh crap run' face, and he might have backtracked for fear of losing you :P It would make a great twist.

He is a dick. He knew what your reaction would be. If it doesn't mean anything he should have given you something else. 5 years is a long time to be with someone
