I told my boyfriend from a year into our relationship that I wanted him to get me an engagement ring before he gets a street bike. The tile has come where he has some extra cash and he started talking about getting a bike again, I told him once again that I wanted a ring before a bike. The reason I want this is he’s not the best driver so I’m sure he’ll be just as reckless on a bike. I want a ring so if he were to die in a wreck at least I have something from him. I just gave birth to our son 2 months ago and I just wish he wanted to get me a ring. He’s making it seem like it’s a chore more than anything. Am I wrong?

I don't think ur wrong for wanting a ring, but the reasoning is... idk I think you should have a serious talk about your concerns with him getting a bike and get him to agree to take some safety classes or find a place that he can practice before he goes on the main road so you will worry less rather than accept he would die and make u a widow. This is an important talk to have and also have a serious talk about why he wants to delay a ring if it's important to you it should be important to him too

Are you already engaged and you just want a better ring or not engaged If you feels like its a chore to him why do you want it you cant force a man to purpose if hes not ready and if you force him its not what he wants its what you want could lead to problems later on down the line as far as your safety concerns talk to him about taking safety classes

I mean this in the nicest way… if he wanted to buy a ring, he would have.
You’ve already got a child together and he’s most likely content in the relationship. So to him you’re a couple, regardless of the commitment.
If it’s really important to you and a non negotiable you need to speak to him and tell him why it’s important to you, then give him a time limit (say within the year?) if it doesn’t happen after that time (and you still want that ring) then you need to be prepared to walk away as it’s not going to happen and will cause huge resentment.
