I dont know what you should do. I have a promise ring too and my father didnt ask me about it. If your mom does ask then just tell her its to show other men that you are taken or something like that. You are an adult and can make those decisions. Tell her if you were getting married you would tell her. My dad thought we were going to get married.

But my promise ring has much meaning to it. Daniel (my hubby) got for me three years before we got together, but he didnt want to give it to me because he didnt freak me out. We were dating like three weeks and he finally gave it to me. I put it on my right hand cause I wasnt sure how I felt about him and a ring was a huge deal to me. Well on our 1 month anniversary he died and they brought him back. While he was in the coma I moved the ring to my left ring finger. The choice was made. The ring hasnt moved since and its been almost 2 years. So the promise ring shows my love and commitment to him. I do not want to be married any time soon but I love him and I want other people to know that I am taken.

SO congrats on the ring and just try to be as honest as you can to your parents about it. Either way they are going to try to tell you whats right and wrong, but you know whats right for you

Promise rings are just that a promise to each other. Your mom shouldn't freak out your not engaged and if you where I've known people who have been engaged for years because it wasn't time to get married in their lives. A friend of mine had a promise ring for I think 3 years before they got engaged and then they where engaged for about 1 1/2 before getting married. Just let her know it's a promise to each other that you are commited to each other until the time is right to be more. Congrats and hope all goes well!!

I think a promise ring is a beautiful idea. It's not like its an engagement, so your mom shouldn't freak out over it hopefully. If she does, just tell her what it means to you. Tell her what you told us and she should understand. It is just a promise to love each other and be together. Congrats on having such a great relationship thus far

I wish my bf would give me something like that! I agree with what they said. And i hope everything goes well for you! good luck!

its normal for moms to freak out hun
thats wht moms do best

i think its a wonderful idea. of course your parets may freak at first but explain to them that its not an engagement ring or anything (yet LOL)

Thanks ladies. I'll keep it in mind and dive in willingly =)

When i was 17, my boyfriend at the time gave me a promise ring for Christmas.

It's been 10 years, a marriage and 3 kids later....

Do what your heart tells you. You love him, right? It's only a promise ring, not a life altering decision, by no means. Embrace it

You just never know what may come of it

I think it's a sweet idea..good luck!
