I have a query for you. Will my loving boyfriend give me an engagement ring for Xmas or will I have to give him the silent treatment for a few months so he gets that I am mad. Or should I just beat the stuffing out of him?

Here is my enlightening reply: If you give him the silent treatment, he may feel pressured and his choice to ask the question may or may not turn out as you demand, or expect. The spontinaity of the ring offering might not have the same emotion as it may have been without the pressure. But, I failed at a relationship after offering the ring and that part of my life ended, so maybe despite my immense wisdom I do not have the answer from experience for you. On the other hand, maybe you should beat the stuffing out of him. He may enjoy it, you know.
Or maybe you should give him a ring, or propose yourself. That would be a reversal that might either shock him, or spur him into action to accept the proposal that he should have done in the first place.
On another other hand, maybe waiting for the ring would be a bad idea. In Lord of the Rings every one who came close to the ring was affected in a negative way, and that ring befall many into doom and dread. Just a suggestion.
