Chapter 29 Anyone remember me

[adinva]

Hi! The engagement ring story is a doozy! Here are some of my thoughts fwiw.

1. A guy who marries a girl because she won a free engagement ring has some serious problems with intimate relationships.

2. Praying for a sign and winning an engagement ring is weird, but be careful of reading it as what you want instead of what is. This might be a sign. Given a free engagement ring he isn't jumping off the fence is a very loud sign but not what you were thinking.

3. Do you really want your engagement ring from your future husband to be one you got for free somewhere? He wasn't thinking of buying you one, he didn't spend a cent, and he didn't go with you to learn what you like and why and try to get that for you.

4. Lots of women wear pretty diamond rings on their right hand ring finger. If you can't stop thinking of it as an engagement ring I would agree with the advice to sell it. Put the money in the bank and if he someday asks you to be his wife you can consider giving him that money to help pay for the ring of your choice, which will be BEAUTIFUL.

5. A grown man who doesn't tell his mother a funny story about his girlfriend winning an engagement ring of all things, because he can't handle her expected reaction...is flying some big red flags.

If you're not really looking to get married anyway, no reason not to enjoy his company, but it sounds like you really would like to be married some day, or the ring might not have stirred up hopes and thoughts of signs.
