I've been with my b/f for almost 2 years and haven't gotten a ring, of any kind, but he has a ring from me that is symbolic of "us". Should I feel concerned in any way...for example him feeling like he can't commit to me? Is this normal?
Thanks for your opinion :)

Two years is a long time to be with someone, but a ring doesn't mean anything. They can take them off, you know. Just because you gave him one doesn't mean he must give you one. Dating isn't tit for tat, it is learning about each other as you progress in the relationship. What have you learned about him in two years that would make you want to stay with him? Is he kind, always on time, caring about you and others, faithful...you get the idea. Forget about rings until you get the BIG one (the engagement one). Focus on who he is and who you are when you are with him. Success

A ring is really symbolic of a promise to get married at some relatively near future point. If your relationship is not at that stage you really shouldn't expect it. After 2 years I would expect flowers, maybe a neclace or a bracelett. The ring is a reserved item. The fact that you got him a ring may have even delayed this because most people would take that as a sign that you are pushing for marriage soon. Being that forward can scare men off if they aren't ready.
If you want a ring merely to have a ring with no relationship value express that, but if you want an a ring that has relationship meaning then it is hard not to treat it as an engaement ring and you better sit down and have a very long talk about where your relationship is going and what level you want it to be at and hopefully he is ready to step up the relationship and you don't scare him off my using to strong of an approach.

The only ring you are "entitled" to is an engagement ring. The fact that you haven't gotten a commitment ring means nothing.

He might just not think that a ring is important to you, have you brought this up in discussion with him at any time? if not then why not try and bring the subject up and see what his response is, he might just be happy the way things are and is afraid of commiting at the moment.

I'm not sure, maybe your boyfriend is cheap, no offense. I had an ex that was like that, he didn't buy me a ring until I complained then I didn't want it because I felt like I had to ask.
