I don’t know what to make of your ex-boyfriend keeping the ring on the dresser. Maybe he still thinks of you when he looks at it? After all, you are probably still important to him, although you’re not together.

But as simple as this sounds, if he says he’s not sure, you have to continue to give him space and time to figure out what he wants to do. How much time? You decide.

Ok…this is the breakdown as I understand it:

1. She split with boyfriend and gave him back the promise ring.
2. His mom was at his home, saw the ring on his dresser, put it back in it’s case and puts it in a drawer.
3. His mom goes to his home on another occassion and sees that the ring is back on the dresser.

I guess I assumed that the poster is wondering if her ex keeping the ring on his dresser means that the door might be still open for them to get back together…That’s what she’s hoping for. Sometimes I read between the lines. Maybe I should have asked instead.

Now calm down. I hope that makes sense.

If he wants to give you a promise ring, yet “isn’t sure if you’re right for him” then I don’t think he gets it, and it sounds like you should just move on.
