My boyfriend is in the navy and we live in different states, so I only get to see him about once a month. Anyway, I am visiting him now we start having a bit of an argument about a bunch of dumb stuff. He then brings up that I keep dropping subtle hints about wanting to get engaged and he wants me to stop. We agreed that we would get engaged in August because he is leaving for Iraq in Oct. Anyway, I told him that I already resolved within myself that we probably wouldn't be getting engaged this month and he responds with "What if I told you your ring is in this room right now?" I said Ididn't want to talk about it anymore. He goes over to his bag and takes out a ring and says this is your engagement ring. So I am looking shocked and I said "This is not how this is suppose to be" and he says "Yea I know, it's messed up" and then he puts the ring away. So here's my question, he showed me the ring, but still hasn't proposed and I am leaving tomorrow, what is he waiting on???

And by the way, I did not pressure him into this. He is the one that planned the engagement timeline and everything else. The subtle hints he is talking about are, for example, if we drive by a jewelry store he'll point it out and I'll say "Do you want to stop" and he'll say "no thank you". So it's not like i'm nagging him about being engaged. He teases me about it.

He probably wants it to be a spontaneous surprise, and now it's too predictable! You've ruined all of his joy of surprising you... I'd say he has the right to not propose to you right now and do it later. You expect things, and that's not how life is! You just have to let people do their own thing! If you hadn't said anything, you'd probably be engaged right now...

Dang! Quit being so harsh on him!! He just wants to do it on his own time without YOU NAGGING!! Let him do it! I wouldn't bring it up again, and he will probably have something romantic planned and will surprise you!! Just chill out!
