He simply answered we can but is just another bill coming to us. im offended by that since it shouldnt matter if its another bill or not. Does he not want to marry me? He never gave me a yes or no answer.

 Wedding rings can be very expensive so maybe he just wants to be financially sure he is able to pay for them and still have extra money. I know a girl I work with got married recently and spent $8000 on her and her husbands wedding rings and then an emergency came up and they had to borrow money from her parents. Maybe your fiance just wants to make sure he didn't put you two in that kind of situation.

 He is trying to be smart about it, spread the cost out without digging into the savings, I don't see the problem.
You ask if he wants to marry you? Well you are engaged right? That means in the future you are BOTH expecting to marry each other. I mean he proposed right?
Sit him down and talk to him, ask him about a time line. You two may not be on the same page at all.

 Are you still tight for money even though you could afford them now? It seems to me that he is worried about the expenses of the whole thing which is a good thing because you don't want to come out married and broke. Just because you have the money doesn't mean you should spend it all. Talk to him and figure out why he thinks you two should wait and make sure to hear him out. If he doesn't have a good excuse then it could be cold feet.
The fact is that everything coming up is both of your decisions so you two have to discuss these things and hear what the other has to say.
