We have and we’ve discussed it’ll happen at some point just not when. He’s never been big on it whereas I have so it’s probably just me not thinking to logically and getting excited and jumping to conclusions to be honest it is what it is at the end of the day. It’ll happen when it’s meant to
It will happen when it's meant to, i know people been together 8+ years and still not engaged if you love each other that's all that matter it will come in time when his ready you don't want to force him
Thank you it’s helped a lot
So, who's ring was it? If he didn't buy it, who did? Have you spoken to him about the ring?
If he didnt buy it for you, who is it for? 🤔
@a mom this was my first thought too
It was something my mum had bought and I didn’t realise as it looked like an engagement ring. If I’d looked at the receipt closer I would’ve seen her name on it I feel so stupid
@Caitlyn ok pheww. Maybe you should talk to him again about getting married
We’ve had conversations but money wise not the right place
@Caitlyn no for sure, if money is tight, theres more important things. But also weddings dont have to be lavish and expensive. My husband and i were supposed to have a wedding in 2020 but everything got cancelled due to covid and moved to the year after. So we cancelled our venue and everything and got married on paper, just us and our parents. So if being a wife is important to you and you dont care about an expensive ring and a big party, you can maybe discuss a cheap option with him.
Maybe he got it you and waiting for the right time but doesn’t want to tell you !
Thank you xx
Aw I feel for you as I’d be the exact same!!!! Me an my partner have been together 9 years in June, two boys and a home yet there’s no ring on my finger😅 we’ve had one Disney world holiday and 4 Disneyland Paris holidays too and that’s our happy place. It’ll happen for us one day I’m sure and it’ll probably be you first♥️✨ To add we’re 27 and 28 so not getting any younger either👵🏼👴🏼
It’ll happen 🩷We were together for 7 years before a ring, then he proposed and we eloped for £50 on holiday with our toddler 😊 I’ve been to 4 big white weddings and 3 have met, married and divorced in the time we’ve been together. The wedding and the money is no indicator of how happy you both are xxx

i think it means you are ready for engagement!
I was similar a few years ago, we’d talked about it, I’d even said I wanted it to be soon and he agreed but it wasn’t a priority for him - he cared more about buying a house and having a baby together. In the end we just talked about it again and I said it was really important to me so we agreed to pick out a ring together and then I just left it up to him when and how he proposed so there was still some mystery 😂 tbh I would previously have thought that ruined the magic of it and would have preferred a spontaneous decision to propose but I actually love how it was for us instead. It was actually so beautiful deciding to do it and choosing the ring together. We got married less than a year later but I do understand the money thing. We were lucky to be able to do it so soon but if we weren’t I would have rather have been engaged for a while than waited to get engaged until we had the money for the wedding xxx
Also like others have said weddings don’t have to be crazy expensive. Having a cheap registry office ceremony and then a nice dinner and party in a pub etc seems to be really common now and I’ve been to some stunning ones. Also there are some really cool registry office buildings around 🥰
I think that’s the hardest part tbh we have our house we rent but from someone we know so it won’t be going anywhere anytime soon and we have our baby girl. I always wanted to be married before having Children I wouldn’t change it for the world now but it just seems very far away now
Has he stated he wants to when it’s the right time money wise etc? If it’s not deep rooted then I wouldn’t worry. My partner is always telling me he doesn’t ever want to get engaged as “marriage means divorce”. He always says marriage doesn’t determine how much someone loves another. He comes from a ‘broken home’ and there’s only one marriage in his family that has lasted. I know one day it will come though, he knows how much I want it and I think he’ll come to want it too. It’s just the waiting game😩
Have you spoken about marriage? Have you agreed on a timeline? I don't think you should feel silly but you can probably get some answers to see what he's thinking!
