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

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.

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.
