Unless you can both live on your own, no you should not get married.

My name is Amanda. My boyfriend Mark and I have been dating for over 2 years now. He proposed to me after a month together when we were hanging in my room one afternoon. The only thing is that he didn't have a ring. So, I gave him my saphire ring that my mom gave me when I turned 16(I'm 21 now). So, he proposed again with the ring. So, does that make us engaged since I said yes? I mean, in today's society, do you necessarily have to have an engagement ring to be officially engaged? Or can you use any ring or do you even have to have a ring? My mom seems to think that we are not engaged. But I think we are because he used my saphire ring to propose with the second time? Help clear up the confusion? Thanks.:confused:

He proposed-you said yes-you are engaged.

[Devorameira]

Many people don't even have a ring, but because he asked you and you accepted - that means you are engaged.

[Fr_Chuck]

If today he is still holding firm that you and he are getting married yes,
There is no ring reguired, many couples do not use them

[EnglishWiz1988]

That's what I thought too. Then why does my Mom and the rest of my family think that we are not engaged because I don't have a ring?

[talaniman]

Don't worry about it, it's a generation thing. You both know what's up, and that's all that matters.

Looking back at your older posts, I guess you were glad 2 years ago when you did not marry David, the truck driver that you could not live without and would marry if he would ask you ?
Often waiting to develop a relationship is always best

[EnglishWiz1988]

Yeah, I am glad that I didn't marry him. Looking back, I realize now how badly I was blinded by love of the first true boyfriend that I had. Now, I now that I will spend the rest of my life with Mark because he and I have more in common than David and I did and he treats me nicer than David ever did.

Please keep all questions regarding the same issue in the same thread

If you and your fiance already have a strong mutual agreement, then it doesn't matter what others think. Don't let others bring your relationship down.

[EnglishWiz1988]

Thanks I wish. That was exactly the answer that I was looking for.

[CENTER]Not to be mean or anything but you sound like a naïve little girl. You should really forget about this David person. He seems like an arrogant jerk. He knows you are sorry and that you love him, but still will not be with you. He is the one with the problem. Take a step back and think about what is really going on! David is playing a game with you and you are falling right for it because you are letting him!

Forget about both of them and concentrate on school. Your still in high school and you have the rest of your life to figure out men!
