She Rejected Her Boyfriend When He Proposed To Her A Few Weeks Ago And Now He’s Wearing A Wedding Band

A 30-year-old woman is dating her 32-year-old boyfriend, and they have been together for an entire decade.

Everything about their relationship she thinks is wonderful. They are great communicators, they’re always honest with one another, and they’re in love.

He also is very supportive of her and she’s extremely happy with where they are in life, together.

“We’re at a point in our careers and lives now, where we’re talking seriously about having kids,” she explained.

“Last month, he proposed to me, and I rejected him – we hadn’t discussed marriage beforehand, and he was quite surprised.”

“The thing is, I don’t want to be married. I don’t really like marriage itself as a concept, and I don’t like being tied into it.”

“I communicated this to him, and I assured him it wasn’t anything to do with him – I didn’t want to marry ANYBODY. He is honestly the love of my life.”

Well, about 14 days after her boyfriend proposed to her and she rejected him, he revealed to her that he was alright with them never getting married…

…However, he wanted to wear a wedding band for the remainder of his life. She agreed to give him permission to do this and said he could go pick out any ring he wanted.

“Since then, he has been wearing a platinum low-key wedding band, and I’ve been wearing no ring at all,” she said.

Due to COVID, she and her boyfriend have not spent any time with their family members or friends lately, but when they do finally hang out with them again, she has no idea how she’s going to fill them in on why he’s wearing a wedding ring and she isn’t.

The thought of having to discuss all of this with their loved ones is leaving her feeling quite uneasy.

“He told me the reason why he wants to wear it, is that he has always imagined himself getting married,” she continued.

“He also said, however, that he would 100% rather be with me and not be married, than with someone else and be married.”

“I think he’s still really sad, and it breaks my heart a little bit… but I’m not going to pity marry him.”

She’s wondering if she should push her boyfriend to stop wearing his wedding band, or if she should let it all go and say nothing.
