I agree with her. Once you have graduated college you are too old to give someone a promise ring. By the time you are thirty you should be settled and really ready to start life, if not already. Her biological clock is ticking.

I have to agree with her, but I wouldn't have dumped someone for giving me a ring!

It took you six years to give a ring, but the ring was not an engagement ring? I would think that would piss off most women. If you are not ready to get engaged, you should have, when you realized she thought it was an engagement ring, was go with the flow and become engaged, as it was very obvious she had been waiting for it for a long time.

wow... 6 years and a promise ring?? what's the point of a promise ring anyways? at least she was smart enough to dump you. realized she needs someone willing to actually commit.

6 years and she gets a promise ring!? dude, no. smh

It took you SIX years to get her a promise ring?! That poor girl for sticking it all this time for so little.

I just wonder how you thought it would be affected? Would love to hear your reasoning...

After 6 years you either want her or you don't. You seem to think there's the third option of stringing her along for years and years of her life (and biological clock) in the hopes of a "maybe someday". That's so disrespectful and inconsiderate. Honestly, is she a joke to you or what?

Unless you're writing this from the hospital you may still consider yourself lucky.

She's right. Grow up.
