[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of cool girls here. Men play the field if they can and are generally less concerned with commitment than women are. A man proposing and giving you a ring is letting you know they want to commit to you and that you're not only for a fun time. Men that don't propose with a ring don't value their partners as much. OP is right in being concerned.

My now husband dated other women before me and he wasn't really into marriage until he met me. I knew he wanted me for the long run because he planned a very romantic proposal and he's been keeping up with this after marriage. He provides for me and our children. I don't have to come home stressed out to a bunch of chores because he takes care of the financial aspects. My friends who agreed to an "equal" marriage ditching all traditions have to work and raise kids because their husbands don't make enough money or refuse being the breadwinners.

I think you dated very different men than I did. My DH was all in on our relationship. I never once thought "well if there's no ring, he's probably still shopping around." He wasn't. We bought a house together before we got married. Put your names down on a 400k mortgage and then tell me you need a freaking diamond to prove he's not still "playing the field."

If you date serious people who are adults, you don't need them to prove that they care about you by buying you a piece of jewelry.[/quote]

Yes, this. If you need the ring to know he’s serious then that’s a red flag.[/quote]
