Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.

He is not obligated to propose just because he won a ring. Sorry

To be fair, winning a contest does not necessarily mean either of you are ready for marriage. Though his selling it instead of locking it in a safe deposit box indicates that he really needs the cash or doesn't see himself being ready anytime in the near future either.

Maybe you're not "wife" material

He won it not bought it. would you really want him to ask for your hand just because he came across a ring? And why would you want a generic ring anyway. Maybe he'll use the money on you. anyway this is not an fml you just seem a bit selfish.

He may not be ready for that step

Seems like a reasonable idea to me.

Wouldn't you rather him get a more personalized and meaningful ring than one he just happened to win in a competition?

And if he has proposed, it woulda been 'today, my boyfriend proposed. He only proposed because he won the ring.' Hmm.

Are you from Evansville? lol. We just had a competition here to win a ring.

she is probably upset because she entered his name to get the ring and proposal, and he is smart enough to avoid this psycho girlfriend

Maybe it's too soon for him and he could be selling it to get money to treat you to a vacation , gifts, etc...
