writes: I'm a bit confused. For Christmas my boyfriend got me a Promise ring. I'm not confused about that, I'm very happy about it actually! It's just that we are young and I want to wear it on my ring finger because it's basically a promise to get "officially" engaged when we are older and to get married. But since we are young I have a feeling if I wear it on my finger both are families will, how do I put this, pick on us I guess for being too young and I HATE that.I just want to wear the ring on my finger and be happy without adults saying rude things about us being too young to be in love and get promised for marriage. And really it's not like we are getting married at 18. We already have agreed that we will or will be close to owning a house or have a stable place to live that isn't an apartment before we are married. Anyways, sorry I'm freaking out and frustrated so I'm acting a bit childish :/ Anywho, my initial question is this. Should I wear the ring on my ring finger like an engagement ring? If so, what should we say to an adult if they confront us about it negatively? I just want an input. Thank you guys for all your help to me previously and now :) And I hope your Holidays went well.

However, in his culture, it is normal to have people our age married already. I am wearing the ring on my left ring finger because both of our parents agreed that it was okay. I think if you are really in love with him, there's nothing wrong with expressing that by wearing it on your left hand.

Molly9945 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionWell I was planning on wearing no matter what, I just wasn't sure if I should wear it on my ring finger or not. I do want to wear it on my ring finger, but if someone is rude what should I say?
