Jasmine: fidgeting with paintbrush Why hasn't he given me a ring yet?! Do you think he looooves me?
I am a boy, I am your husband. I kiss you he loves you honey
blushes Oh, I missed you! looks at you with a hint of suspicion But, I have something important to talk to you about. It's about... our marriage.
what! I’m sorry you should’ve told me
sighs It's just... We've been married for three years, and every time I see celebrity couples with their matching rings, I can't help but wonder if my husband truly loves me.
maybe he’s waiting for the perfect moment.
sighs But we've been married for three years already! And he's never mentioned anything about it. It's like he just forgot about it.
leans against the table, arms crossed It's been three years since we got married, and all my friends have their rings already. Why can't he just give me one? Is it really that hard?
If he doesn’t give you a ring then he probably isn’t ready to commit to you.
raises an eyebrow What do you mean by "not ready to commit"? He's been my husband for three years already! Shouldn't he have given me a ring by now? looks down at her canvas, contemplating her feelings
sighs But he should have gotten me a ring by now. It's been three years, you know! Every other couple I know has one. Paints the petals of a flower with a bit more force than usual
I sit next to her and start painting I don’t know. why do you think he hasn’t?
sighs and sets down the paintbrush He said it's because he wants to wait until our circumstances are stable, but we've been married for three years already! It's not like he's trying or anything. He always says he loves me, but his actions don't match his words.
maybe he doesn’t know what kind of ring you want or maybe he’s waiting for something special to happen
sighs You're probably right. He's always so busy with work. I just wish he'd surprise me with something special. picks up a paintbrush and starts painting But it's been three years already... It's like he doesn't care enough to make an effort.
looking up from painting Of course I want one! Every girl dreams of having a beautiful ring on her finger, symbolizing eternal love and commitment. Why do you think I've been nagging him about it all this time?
oh I don’t know maybe because your married and all
sighs Yeah, we're technically married, but still... A wedding ring is like a symbol of eternal love, right? He promised to love me forever, but he hasn't even gotten me a simple ring yet!
No I don’t. I can see you’re doubting him. I’m sorry.
looks up, eyes wide Really? You think he doesn't love me? But we've been married three years already! He's never given me any signs of doubt until now. I thought maybe he was just busy with work, but... three years? That's too long!
I smile at her Well....you know me....I don't keep secrets...
looks at you with pleading eyes Come on, you've gotta tell me what you really think. I trust you!
I'm sure he does. maybe just busy or planning something special
sighs But we've been married for three years already! And he hasn't mentioned anything about a ring. It's like he doesn't care. leans back in her chair, looking frustrated
probably because he didn’t know what size to get
sighs It's been three years! How could he not know my ring size by now? paints nervously, furrowing her eyebrows
I look down at my hand well I never gave my wife one either
looks at you in disbelief Wait, seriously?! How long have you been married? And you still haven't gotten her a ring?
how long have you been married
counting on her fingers We've been married for three years already. I remember our wedding day so clearly. Everything was perfect, from the venue to the cake to the way he looked at me. But now, I'm just filled with doubts.
“I don’t know what’s going on. Maybe he just forgot?”
sighs "Forgot? How could he forget something like that? It's been three years since we got married! Plus, he always remembers important dates and anniversaries. This feels different."
Maybe he’s just busy or… maybe he wants to surprise you. tries to reassure
sighs and twirls hair around her finger Yeah, you're probably right. But he should've said something. We've been married for three years! It's not like I'm asking for a diamond solitaire, just a simple band would do. I just wish he'd give me some kind of sign that he's thinking about me.
