You really shouldn't have told him you knew. Next time, with a surprise... keep it to yourself. (Unless it's like a year later or something.) Probably killed his ego. On the other hand he seems to be overreacting a lot. Just because you know about the ring doesn't mean he can't still be creative on the proposal!

Overall I would say... Just talk it out. If you're going to be married this will be an important strategy later down the line!

You ruined it... he was wanting it to be a surprise and you mom let the cat out the box.... so next time just keep it to yourself... and ACT surprised, for his sake! ;)

if anything he should be mad at your mom, I'd be mad at my mom if she'd ruined something like that.

I knew my fiancé had bought me the ring, mainly because he called me almost immediately after he bought it and told me "I didn't think it would be that easy to find the perfect ring". I had NO IDEA when he was going to propose, but I knew it was coming.

I don't think it's bad that you know he has the ring, because you haven't seen it, you don't know what it looks like, and you don't know when he's going to ask you. Knowing you're getting it and knowing WHEN you're going to get it are two different things.

For a fact, his surprise was ruined and guys do want to surprise their girl.. but knowing it doesn't mean you know when and where he is going to propose.. so if he loves you then he should have been good with it and accept it.

I personally think that it's silly. I know that I'm the kind of girl who likes to think things over for a LONG time, and if a guy ever surprised me with an engagement ring, I'd tell him no without even blinking. Because I can't just say yes without thinking that through- that's a huge commitment for a one-second answer!

when a guy wants to surprise you, he'll wait longer if he knows you're on to him. especially if it's really important to him that it's a surprise & that it's special. if you want it to be special & memorable, let him do his thing & surprise you. there's no way in hell he will ever tell your mom anything again since she can't be trusted to keep a secret. now you'll have to wait.

If I were him, I would have gotten mad at your mom, not you. I would be mad at my parents if they told me that my boyfriend was going to propose, because I want it to be a surprise.

Wow. If my Mom spilled to me that my fiance bought the ring when he did I would have gone ape shit over that. First off, it was a bad call on her part to tell you, but it was pretty bad for you to then tell him. I think he has every right to be upset regardless of who's fault it actually was. Let him wait longer so he can surprise you, obviously that was his plan and now he feels that's shot to Hell. Just be patient, he'll do it when he feels the time is right. And yea, he will probably NEVER trust your mother with anything secret ever again (and so he shouldn't).

i dont think you ruined anything. sure you know he has the ring, but you dont know how or when he's planning to propose, there is still plenty of suprise! i agree that your mom shouldnt have told you but i dont think she mean to ruin anything or upset anyone. she was probably just as excited as him. talk to him and tell him not to worry since you dont know anything else about it and dont blame yourself. and congrats in advance :) take care

I would be mad at my mom and he does have a right to be kind of mad at you, but he should be more mad at your mother for telling you about the ring. My boyfriend and I don't keep secrets from each other, or tell our secrets to other people, because that just creates problems. I believe that you should have a talk with your mother and tell her how unappreciated you and your boyfriend feel. Maybe that will help him ease up a little on you.
