Not married but have a wedding ring!

If it will affect your and his benefits by getting married then it's not worth it, you both need your incomes. The important tings is that you both are together and care for each other. Congratulations and I wish you both all the best.

Wonderful, now here is what to do. Write lots of letters to your congressman or woman, and tell him that you are so much in love with your boyfriend and you want to get married, but if you do you will lose your disability. Mention that you want the security and your children do as well of being a wife, you do not want to just play house because if your boyfriend suddenly got killed in an accident, and if the will were destroyed, you would only get what you put into the relationship, not half the estate and that some relative who you do not like might get it. I am an incurable romantic. I want to see you walk down the aisle, or go in the wheelchair, and get married, have plenty of photos.

Aww. That's really sweet of him... Good for you... I don't really find the thought odd because it's a common practice here in our place. I mean, people who are in a relationship would give rings as a sign of well... their undying love. I find it cute that two people would be wearing similar rings. I feel that it somehow takes the relationship to a higher level since it shows more commitment and love. Plus it shows other people how serious you are with each other. Probably the most important thing is that it reassures the other that whatever happens, you're in it together...

I think that is wonderful.......truly wonderful. I wish a ring was given to me but instead I had to break up with my John yesterday. Take your time, but not too much and do the damned thing. I wish you much success and may God Bless you and your family!

I think that it's great and that you feel you love one another then you should wear something to symbolize it. Whether your married legally or not, you love one another and wish you were! Good luck in your future with him and have a wonderful day!

I never in my life know that this would have happen. To me marriage is when two person stand before witness and God to declare their love for each other and the officiating person acknowledge this. If you are comfortable with this then it is good that he see you as the person to spent the rest of his life with. Congratulation is on for you.

I think its a lovely idea, my partner and I did the same thing after we had been together for a number of years. For us, a wedding would be expensive and unneccessary, so we made private pledges to each other and he made me a ring. After 16 years everyone assumes we are married anyway, we're saving a ceremony for our 21st anniversary!

ok, that is just a little weird. why dont you just go to a justice of the peace and make it official? it would be better tax wise anyways if you did.

That's just good to hear. It's so nice to know that certain couples are very happy and successful together though they are not yet married. Well, to have a wedding ring is something very evident that both of you share a very loving union. Kudos.

Aww, I don't think it is crazy. I think it is great! My husband and I wore each other's rings before we got married too. We wear different ones now that we are married. You are an adult and can make your own decisions. If this is what is good for you both, I say go for it!

I think that is a sweet thing to do.. I like that he is a sweet guy and i think that he wants yall to get married... I feel that he is showing you that he loves you by putting that ring on your finger.... I think that he knows that it would be the est thing for yall to get married but i think he wants you to know that he loves you and wants to be with you... I think that is sweet... I love that he just showed up with it.. Does he want you to wear it??? Does he want to get married??? Why is it not a good thing for yall to get married??? I really think that he wants to get married thats why he showed up with the ring or that was his propsal to you.. So i would say that you guys are engaged.. Congrats

Go for it, very happy for you!

It's not that crazy. Sometimes people ten to pretend for someone he has always dreamed of and somewhat give hima feeling of fulfillment.

Well,marriage is just a formality .. a legal document is trivial compared to the love and companionship which two people enjoy .... its not crazy but touching that you guys hav exchnged rings regardless of marriage .. God BlesS!

I think that it is lovely that your boyfriend gave you a wedding ring, how romantic an idea. It shows commitment even without a piece of paper. He bought himself a ring too so he really means it. Yes, it feels like you two are really married. I am glad that you are so thrilled and that your kids are delighted as well. Congratulations. I hope that you both will have a happy future together.

I think it's a very sweet idea. If that's what you both want, I say that's great. When my now husband and I were dating, we wore my grandma's wedding bands. He wore my grandpa's and I wore my grandma's. I still have them, but when we got married we got our own wedding rings.

I am so happy for you, ctry! It's wonderful that you have found a good man to have in your life. I honestly feel that we should take our happiness where we find it. The fact that you are committed to one another speaks volumes. Enjoy life and enjoy each other!

You aren't alone. My partner and I have been together 8 years now. I too am on disabilitiy. We also wear wedding rings and are not, nor ever plan to be, married. So no, I don't think its nuts, since we have done the same thing. :)

It is nice and all that your new boyfriend give a wedding ring for you and everything but there something behind the ring....maybe it not a real ring, sometimes men buy those kind of rings that are really cheap from adult stores. And to make a woman happy and shut up. But since you are both on disablity it may be best to be totaly honest and do it legally because when you cheat your state someone has to pay the increased amount so you can have your money, whereas if you are honest maybe you can learn to budget your life with your boyfriend. It depends though if he truly love you or he just using your place to have a place to sleep and eat?

It wouldn't be called wedding ring if it is not a ring that is intended for wedding. but who cares no? words are just words. and I think it is sweet that he thought of having one even though you're not yet married. just don't brag much about it, some people may find it crazy.
