Some guys think that a house and discussing the future is "good enough" but to many women, it still reeks of no guarantee and leaves you wondering if he's truly commited.
What about the idea of a promise ring? My husband I had been dating for a while, werent quite ready to get engaged, but knew that we wanted to one day. For Valentines day the first year we had been dating, we exchanged promise rings, it was a mutual choice, but we had fun shopping for them together. You can find nice ones for only a couple hundred bucks...and it satisfies that reminder that you're looking down at, and he would have one too.

Thank you, yes! Just because I'll be living in the house and be on title, still no guarantee history won't repeat itself (and yes, he knows all about that guy).
As for the promise ring, it's definitely an idea - haven't done it since high school, lol. But I'm curious, would you and he wear it on your right hand instead?
