I'd take that as a sign...

Dump his ass.

That's a shame a wolf taxidermy mount costs $85. He really Knows how to budget his money get a hunting license shoot your own, skin it out stretch it over said styrofoam mount. You just saved 2,300 for you boyfriend.

Well shoot billy bob, who doesn't need a taxidermied wolf?

He's making a statement of his devotion. Didn't you know, wolves are monogamous, and are believed to mate for life?

Hey the wolf beats a wife no opinions to listen to and no problems to attend to.

Depending on where you live, a marriage license and a few minutes in front of a justice of the peace cost almost nothing. That's why I call bullshit on the not wanting to get married because it's too expensive. Now, if you're demanding a massive party/ceremony to make it a "real" marriage then you're doing it wrong. It's about you and your spouse, not demanding that everyone else witness your love turned into dollars.

An engagement ring traditionally should cost three months salary. An individual working full-time at minimum wage earns ~$1000 a month before taxes. Your boyfriend would therefore need to spend at least $3000 on an engagement ring. Assuming further that you would actually accept and want to begin planning for a weeding, the cost if engagement quickly increases to several multiples if the cost of a stuffed wolf. The cost benefit analysis clear demonstrates your boyfriend was acting rationally - who am I kidding; he's a nut.

Clearly money is an excuse and not a reason

Man loves wolves so he had my vote on that. But really are you sure you're both ready for that commitment?
