He gave me a ring but no wedding!
Getting engaged is a huge deal for a woman. It marks the day a man saw a wife in her and made a decision to make it official. But for some women, the experience is quite the opposite as these men are placing rings on their fingers but there’s no official wedding. Below several women share their experiences.
Tameka:
I have been engaged to for about nine years. I have given up hope that I will officially be his wife. I had three miscarriages and a son. We live together. My friends warned me about moving in but I never listened. They told me that since I would be providing wife duties, he wouldn’t see it a priority to make it official, and how correct they all were! I am still in the same predicament for nine years going on 10.
Michelle:
I have been engaged to over almost three years and based on how things are going, I realise that the excitement he initially had has died. I stopped wearing the ring because I started to look like a poppy-show at work when people would ask when the date was. I mean, a ring means nothing if it is not being made official.
Tee:
When my man gave me a ring he called it a promise ring and I am tired of wearing a promise ring. It has been 12 years and two sons with no engagement or wedding plans. I will say this boldly, if you are with someone for over a year and you hear no mention of marriage, make it your duty to find out what is the motive. Do not waste your years. Wasted time is worse than wasted money.
Sharon:
I have been engaged to for over two years. I am really annoyed by him not having conversations about when it is going to be official. Whenever I bring it up, he shuts it down. He blames it on money but he finds money to go on vacations and other things. I am really annoyed. I am just about ready to hand him back his ring.
HN:
I have stopped counting the years since I have been engaged. It is that ridiculous. I am beyond tired so I simply stopped thinking about it and I traded the ring in for money. It is foolishness. He hasn’t even noticed that I stopped wearing the ring.
