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 told me he'd drive me to the jeweler's to pick out a ring. We drove there, I picked the ring, and the sales person rang it up. I glanced at my boyfriend, only for him to reply, "Well don't look at me!" FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me by tossing the ring at me and saying "Here, wear this." FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me with the prettiest, most simple ring I have ever seen. I called my sister to tell her the good news, and her response was, "I know. He had me steal the ring from Claire's." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he's prepared to commit to marriage, but only if I buy my own ring and tell everyone he surprised me with it. FML
Today, after 5 and a half years, my boyfriend had spent months talking about proposing before the end of the year. He'd picked out a ring, told all his friends, and couldn't stop talking about our future. He then dumped me over the phone out of the blue. 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

I don't get why OP's boyfriend "deserves it", seriously ... I'm a girl, have been with my boyfriend for 10 years (we're both 27) and if he were to give me a ring telling me it's not a proposal I wouldn't be offended. At. All. Marriage is an important topic that has to be discussed, in my case we both want to get married at some point, but not now because we don't feel the circumstances in our lives are right to do so. Simple as that, but that's obviously personal ... That doesn't mean I'm a desperately "waity" woman who will wait her whole life for a proposal, nor that my boyfriend is commitment-phobic, sometimes the feelings aren't just black or white about marriage. He in fact offered me a beautiful ring for my 25th birthday, and I wear it everyday as a wonderful gift I got from the person I love. I think that if OP is really disappointed it's because (maybe, I'm just assuming) she didn't talk it through with her boyfriend, and doesn't know where he stands when it comes to getting married. I'm absolutely not judging you and I get that if you actually were waiting for an engagement ring it must have been terribly disappointing. But maybe he genuinely loves you and just wanted to give you something nice (may I add that a ring is a much better gift than what some people sometimes get as a present on this day!) ... before giving you "the real one" ;) Anyway if it really hurt you, talk with him about that, communication and honesty about serious topics such as an engagement are really important ... Don't keep it to yourself! And Merry Christmas anyway :)

I agree with your boyfriend, even if it was poor timing.
