issue of the ring

As I was surfing around on the internet, I came across a profile of an acquaintance - okay, the girlfriend of this acquaintance to be exact; and it made me feel so wistful. This couple [the acquaintance and the girl] had just got together not too long ago, but I've known tt this acquaintance guy friend of mine has always displayed an interest in the girl. To know tt he has finally succeeded in wooing her made me smile.

I was looking at her friend.ster account, and she had pics of her first two bouquets from him; lovey-dovey pics of them together looking happy; a picture of their hands, with a pair of couple rings on their fingers. Looking at all these - I felt wistful.

I know it sucks to compare; and it isn't fair at all to compare; but when I see other couples with accompanying rings, I can't help but wish for one to call my own. In the past when I mentioned this issue to the Ex, he'll tell me tt he's not the type to wear a ring; and after pressing the issue for some time, I just gave up. This time round, I remember casually mentioning it; but then there was no action taken, so once more, I shut up.

I remember candice telling me how she was quite upset with her other-half when he didn't get her a ring. At tt time I remember telling her abt how the Ex never got me one either. But somehow, when you think deep into it, a ring for each of you does mean something, doesn't it?

A ring signifies a kind of commitment that you undertake towards your partner; that you treasure the relationship you share between the both of you; that you want to let the world know that this person belongs to you just by wearing your ring; and that you just want to be connected with this person, on some way.

So does it mean that when your guy doesn't get you both a pair of couple rings, the commitment level isn't there? Different people have different opinions on this issue, so I shan't comment on tt. On a personal level, I don't really know the answer to tt question - all I know tt I've been thinking about this whole issue ever since 4 years ago; and till now, I haven't gotten what I've wished for. Of course it's not just a ring I'm wishing for - it's all tt carries with it.

Maybe it's all just wishful thinking on my part.

I just wished it didn't have to suck so bad when I see other couples with their rings; look at my own fingers... only to find them bare.
