    Personally I think it's more wrong to shout at someone. But I'm KUI, so take that with a grain of salt.

    PS It's ok to be engaged without a ring.

    PPS Don't eat yellow snow (You asked someone to tell you something... well, that's something!)

    In general, when someone says "Is it wrong?" especially in all caps, my instinct is to reply: "Yes."

    But it actually is okay to be engaged without a ring. It is not okay to write in all caps on a message board.

    How old is your fiance?  What do you guys do for your livings?

    No.  You don't need a ring to be engaged.  You do, however, need to be literate enough to sign the marriage license, which I think you may need to work on.

    She also said she's still in high school on another board...

    Sweetie, please. Quit thinking 'wedding wedding weddings', and just work on school. Enjoy your friends. While in high school, weddings should not be on the brain... And you're living with your BF/FI and engaged (?) and planning a wedding, and in another post, said you get upset when he leaves... This is not a good idea.

    ENGAGED WITHOUT A RING=OK

    ENGAGED WITHOUT A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA (YET)= NOT OK, REGARDLESS OF RING STATUS.

    I think this is why I lurk on the weekends. I'm happily reading "Why Marriages Succeed or Fail" by John Gottman, while curled up on my couch.

    OP, Perhaps you would like this. Oh, And as for another question you asked- growing up a bit will help with the "attitude problem."

    Good Luck!

    I am engaged and don't have my engagement ring yet. I'm 28 years old and my fiance is 32. The reason we don't have the engagement ring yet, is b/c he was laid off twice last year (he know has a secure job) and he is also SO particular about the diamond. He wants me to have the best possible engagement ring within his means. I don't mind waiting for the ring. I love him and it's not about the hardware. My family knows we are engaged but that's it because everyone always goes for the ring when you say you are engaged.

    I guess the definition of rude is subjective. OP,. I suggest lurking for a bit on the boards to see how other posters are. This is awesome advice for any message board.

    The ladies on here actually recommended it. I literallly just cracked it open. But he claims through his research...he can predict with 94% accuracy, which marriages will fail or succeed. Seems like it's worth reading to me.

    Try meditation, yoga, and writing letters to deployed soldiers- it will put your life in perspective.

    Or you can volunteer at a food kitchen or nursing home. This will also give you an attitude adjustment. And church- try going to a church/synagogue/temple or any other spiritual sanctuary. Is Jorge religious?

    ::nods:: Go to church...with or without him. Read the Bible. It's got some pretty good stuff in it. And if you do end up getting married- his mother will appreciate your interest in catholicism.

    Look for peace in the religion. It will help with your attitude.

    This is the most epic bible verse on love:
    <strong>1 Corinthians 13:4–8a</strong>
    <em>Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails</em>

    These are the things you need to work on- just as I do- and probably everyone on this board. Good Luck! Study hard in school! And read- read lots of books- they will open your mind and widen your horizon.
