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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 girlfriend found the engagement ring I bought and assumed it was a late birthday present. She’s now wearing it on her right hand like a signet ring and she somehow hasn’t figured out it’s a diamond and not a Swarovski. I'm now waiting for her to figure it out before I pop the question. 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 won a diamond engagement ring through a citywide competition. Instead of proposing to me, he's selling it. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me by tossing the ring at me and saying "Here, wear this." FML
Today, as a 1 year anniversary present, my boyfriend let me see and wear my engagement ring. He then made me give it back at the end of the day. 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, my boyfriend proposed. He gave me a really unique ring that I absolutely loved… at first. When I showed it off to my friends, one of them laughed so hard that she started crying, and said it looks just like a vagina. She's right, and now I can't unsee it. FML
Today, my girlfriend found the engagement ring I'd bought. She looked at it and said, "This is pathetic. You shouldn't even bother." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were looking at engagement rings. When the store owner asked about our budget, my boyfriend said with a straight face, "Nothing too expensive, I have a big penis so I don't have to overcompensate by buying a big diamond." FML

if that's just a ring to keep others away, imagine what your actual wedding ring will look like!

Buy him an awesome new car and tell him, "Oh no, you're not allowed to drive it. I just want to keep it in your driveway so everyone thinks I have a rich boyfriend." Then keep the key in a lock box at the bank, just to be sure. Let's see how he likes it.

I know where I'd stick that ring. You're either dating or engaged... Not reserved, unless something better comes along.

Why does everyone assume this is about control and trust? Maybe she was complaining about being hit on all the time, and he wanted to help her out. Maybe he wanted to get her a ring, but didn't think they were ready for an engagement, so he came up with another reason to get it for her. There are lots of reasons for this gift that have nothing to do with control or trust. Certainly, if he's a controlling jealous type, she should ditch him. But she should have known that and ditched him long before getting excited about a diamond ring. And he could have proposed and STILL been a controlling, jealous type. Plenty of marriages are about control. It sounds to me like she's disappointed they aren't getting married. If that's the case, she probably doesn't think he is a loser, controlling, or super jealous. They should sit down and have a conversation about it. Maybe he's being slow about it. Maybe she's jumping the gun. But they are definitely not on the same timeline, and that's something that can only be resolved with open and honest communication.

I think that's a great idea.

On the bright side, your actual engagement ring will have to be a lot better than this non-engagement ring. He can't give you the same ring and have them have completely different emotional meanings.

That's akin to peeing around you to mark his territory. It can be seen as sweet in his eyes, but to you it might just be unwelcome and uncomfortable FYL.
