So, not completely mommy related but. I wanted other opinions. So there is this ring at Walmart I'm…

I would say put the idea out of ur head and don’t bring the conversation up u know how guys r don’t make him feel like he is pushed to do so when the time comes he will can I ask how long u guys been together?

Leave it. The more you pressure him the more he'll do it to just make you leave him alone and not because it's meaningful and what he wants.

@ut.2010 the time line on how long we've been together is a bit wonky. Very long story. I know I'm not gonna bring up getting married for a while. But he's just being strange about engagement. Which is the only reason I wanna bring it up. Especially with the fact that he remembers the exact ring. Exact price and my ring size.

@eaj8290 oh I'm not trying to pressure I'm just curious about his opinion. I know everything will happen on his time. And he's just been strange about it.

Well maybe he is planning it as a surprise if he knows all the details I would say let him do it don’t say anything

@ut.2010 you might be right

We've been engaged since 2015. We'll probably get married eventually, but an engagement doesn't always mean a wedding is just around the corner. You an be engaged for years. So don't necessarily put it out of your head, it could happen one day, just don't expect it, and dropping hints could just make him wait even longer. He knows you want to be engaged....he'll do it when he's ready. (You could turn the tables and propose to him, though, too....but that's up to you and your relationship!)

@nomli I'm totally up for a long engagement. I'm sure by the time we actually get married our kids will be in school lol. I've thought about proposing to him. But he's kinda old fashioned lol. I'm not really dropping hints about engagement. I just wanna know why he's so weird about it. And well I want the ring regardless lol it's gorgeous

Has he been hurt in the past? I know men can get squeamish about marriage, but it's only a piece of paper...which you don't even need for insurance anymore! We figure, we have a child, we're buying a house...we're tied together anyway! I hadn't wanted to get married before, anyway. I didn't really see the reason. But now I want to haha.

But yeah, I totally understand the desire for a ring just because it's beautiful. Hopefully he'll get it for you, even if he doesn't propose.

@nomli he's never had a good relationship before. He's only had two real relationships before me (surprising since he's five years older) one cheated on him 7 different guys. He had gotten a place for them and I believe he had proposed to her. The other he fell for was helping with her child was even at the hospital the day he was born. She just up and ran out on him. So I'm very patient with him. Hell before me he wasn't even used to cuddles! So I don't plan on rushing him. It's just when we talk marriage he says he wants to some day. But with engagement he clams up. I figured he'd not wanna talk either. I dunno. He's sneaky so he might have something in mind and not wanna ruin it.

Awwwww!!! That sucks so much. Some women are so cruel. He's lucky he found you, a lot of women aren't understanding either 😔

@nomli I know! I've had to undo a lot of damage. And have spoiled him a bit in the process lol he can't sleep now unless I'm holding him:)
