Why isn't he proposing?

[Anonymous]

Hearsay from your friend is not conclusive evidence.

He might have a special date/event in mind. Keep calm and carry on!

OP here- I'm 28. Yes, I know my best friend telling me was shitty on her part and she truly did just slip up as it came up in a convo. The whole "living in sin" thing is honesty just BS. I'm not religious at all and neither is he so we honestly wouldn't care about that at all. Glad to hear that others then boyfriends waited awhile too after having the ring. I didn't know that was "common" as two of my best friends now husbands proposed to them within weeks of getting the ring.

Really OP, he may be waiting for a special time to propose. E.g. during a vacation or over the holidays. Chill out, if he has the ring its going to happen. Shame on your friend for spilling the beans. So all you have to do is stop the crazy.

Here is a guarnteed way to calculate when your boyfriend will propose: think of the last conceivable date you would possibly think it would be ok for him to propose before you completely flip out. He will propose two weeks after that date.

Also +1 on your friend is an asshole.

He probably changed his mind.

Back in the end of April, my best friend let it slip that my boyfriend reached out to her regarding my ring size and told her he was planning on buying me a ring. A week later, he texted her sending her the picture of the ring he got and told her where he planned on proposing. She didn't show me the ring or tell me any details at all. Now fast forward two months later.....he still hasn't proposed. I know that some guys wait and all that but he's had this ring for over 2 months now and has yet to propose. 2 weekends ago I thought he was going to as we were out having a picnic dinner by the water and he was acting just weird and off but it didn't end up happening. I'm just really confused and wishing my friend hasn't slipped up as it's pretty much all I think about now.
Is there any good reason as to why he may still not have proposed even though he's had the ring for months ?

Ask him.

Are you kidding? Women live for this kind of shit. Never EVER EVER EVER tell your GF's friend anything you wouldn't' want to get back to her, because it WILL.

Why don't YOU propose to HIM? It is 2016, take some initiative.

Geez people on this board suck. I mean, who doesn't live with their boyfriend before marriage these days? Must be old and prudish people on this board. OP< just hang in there and try to focus on your relationship. You might take this time to consider whether you really want to marry this guy yourself. Best of luck!

People that are religious don't live together pre-marriage.

To the OP, it really might have nothing to do with you. And I mean that in a comforting way...

I didn't ask my wife to marry me until my sister had a few (rather large, I might add) gin and tonics with my future bride. Big Sis read me the riot act, starting with "What is your problem???")

Of course, Big Sis was right. My wife and I are right for each other. And "my problem" was old crap my wife didn't cause.

My wife and sister still like to drink together on holidays. They chest-bump when the Dallas Cowboys score. It's very disturbing...

And people with common fucking sense. My argument for not living together would have nothing to do with morals, religion, or living in sin.

Another non-religious person who would never do it, either.
